How to Create and Manage Multiple Albums

Fotify lets you organize your event photos into multiple albums. This is useful for multi-day events, events with distinct sections (ceremony vs. reception), or when you want to separate professional photos from guest uploads.

The number of albums you can create depends on your event plan. You can check the maximum in your event type settings.

Creating a New Album

1. Go to Photos in the sidebar and click Album to open your event album
2. Click the Manage Albums button (gear icon) in the header
3. In the Album Manager modal, type a name for your album in the text field
4. Click Add (or press Enter) to create it

A URL-friendly slug is generated automatically from the name. Your new album will appear in the album filter at the top of your album page.

Filtering Photos by Album

Once you have multiple albums, a row of album filter pills appears at the top of your album page:

• All Photos — Shows every photo across all albums (and photos not assigned to any album)
• Album name — Click on a specific album to see only its photos

Each photo also displays a small badge in its top-left corner showing which album it belongs to.

Moving Photos Between Albums

You can move any photo to a different album:

1. Hover over a photo in the grid and click the move button (folder icon), or open a photo in the lightbox and click the move button there
2. A modal will appear showing all available albums
3. The photo's current album is shown with a "Current" badge
4. Click on the album you want to move the photo to, or select Main Album to remove it from any album
5. The photo will be moved immediately

When you're viewing a specific album (not "All Photos"), moved photos will disappear from the current view since they now belong to a different album.

Sharing and Deleting Albums

Sharing an Album

Each album can have its own shareable link for public viewing:

1. Click Manage Albums in the album header
2. Click the share icon (arrow) next to the album you want to share
3. Once sharing is enabled, a copy link button appears — click it to copy the album's public URL
4. To disable sharing, click the share icon again

Deleting an Album

1. Click Manage Albums in the album header
2. Click the delete (trash) icon next to the album
3. A confirmation dialog will appear explaining that photos in this album will be moved back to the main album
4. Click Delete to confirm

When you delete an album, all photos in that album are moved to the main album — they are not deleted. This ensures you never lose photos by removing an album.

Album-Specific QR Codes and Links

You can direct guests to upload to or view a specific album:

QR Code Modal

When generating a QR code from the Photos page, use the album dropdown in the QR modal to select which album the upload link should target. Guests who scan this QR code will have their photos automatically placed in that album.

Dynamic Links (Tools Page)

If you use Dynamic Links from the Tools page, you can also target a specific album. When editing a link, select an event first, then choose a target album from the album dropdown that appears. This works for both the Photo Upload Link and the Photo Album Link.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many albums can I create? A: The number of albums depends on your event plan. You can see the maximum allowed when opening the Album Manager.

Q: What happens to photos when I delete an album? A: All photos in the deleted album are automatically moved to the main album. No photos are lost.

Q: Can guests choose which album to upload to? A: Guests upload to whichever album is configured in the QR code or upload link they use. You control the album targeting from the QR Code modal or the Tools page.

Q: Can I move multiple photos at once? A: Currently, photos are moved one at a time. Select the move button on each photo you want to relocate.
