GDPR-compliant · Servers in Europe · Made in Germany
In a family, every generation photographs differently — and every picture ends up scattered across twenty different phones, in five WhatsApp groups, or nowhere at all. With Mymories you collect family photos together in one album: Grandma scans the QR code with her phone camera, types her first name — and she's in. No app download, no Google or Apple account, full original quality.
Family photos scatter across twenty phones — and disappear.
At Grandma's milestone birthday, at the summer barbecue, on Christmas Eve: everyone takes pictures, nobody shares. The best shots from Aunt Linda stay locked on her phone. The candid photos Dad took of the kids' table — nobody sees them. And Grandma prints out a picture you've never even laid eyes on.
With Mymories only one person needs the app — the one organizing the family gathering. Everyone else — grandparents, siblings, cousins, kids — uploads family photos via QR code, with no app download and no new account. Browsing the album doesn't even need a login.
In the end you have a complete family memory in full resolution — perfect for a family photo book at the next milestone birthday, a Christmas Eve slideshow, or simply for Grandma to print her favorite picture months later.
Simple enough — even for Grandma & Grandpa
Create your family event in 60 seconds
Download the app, create your event — for example "Grandma's 80th" or "Family Summer". Choose a cover image for the welcome page. Mymories automatically generates a QR code and an album link for the family.
Share the QR code with the family
Print the QR code on a place card, drop the link into the family WhatsApp group, or show the code on your phone. Your relatives scan with the phone camera, type their first name — and they're in the album. Works on any smartphone, no new account.
All family photos in one shared album — live
During the family event everyone sees the uploaded pictures in real time. Afterwards you download all family photos in full quality — perfect for a family photo book or as a gift for the grandparents.

Everything your family needs for shared photos
One album for every generation
Instead of ten WhatsApp threads, email attachments and printed pictures, everything lands in one place. Every generation uploads their photos — from the teens' smartphone shots to the snapshot Grandma takes on her tablet.
Original quality — perfect for a family photo book
WhatsApp compresses family photos to around 100 KB. Mymories stores your pictures in full resolution — important when you want to print a family photo book or enlarge individual shots.
Works for Grandma & Grandpa too
No app download, no new account, no cryptic instructions. Grandparents scan the QR code with the phone camera, type their first name — and they're in. Viewing works completely without a login.
Upload queue — no photo gets lost
Even when the Wi-Fi at Grandma's is shaky or you're on the road between two family visits: Mymories saves your pictures locally and uploads them automatically as soon as your phone reconnects.
Password-protected family album
Optionally protect your family album with a password. Only those who know it can view and upload pictures — important for photos of children that shouldn't end up in the wrong hands.
Data protection from Germany
Mymories is GDPR-compliant and developed in Germany. Your family photos are transferred encrypted and stored on servers in Europe. No advertising, no data sales.
For every family moment
Family celebrations & milestone birthdays
At Grandma's 70th, the 50th wedding anniversary or the big family gathering in summer: collect every picture during the celebration — from the welcome drinks to cutting the cake. Print the QR code on the place cards, and by the next morning the whole celebration is in the album.
Childhood & multi-generation album
Instead of chasing fifty snapshots in the cousins' WhatsApp group, your family has a shared album that grows with you. From the first day of school to graduation, from baptism to confirmation — pictures from every relative in one place.
Christmas, Easter & family vacations
At family holidays and shared trips, everyone photographs differently: Grandma takes landscapes, you take pictures of the kids, the teens take selfies. Mymories brings it all together — the perfect source for the annual Christmas Eve family slideshow.
