How to Create a Collaborative Album

Invite others to add photos to one shared album.

Updated over a week ago

A collaborative album in PYM lets you build one shared photo book together. You start the album, then invite family and friends to add their own photos. It’s perfect for weddings, trips, family years, or any event where everyone has their own pictures.

Steps to Make Your Album Collaborative

1. Open or create your album

  1. Open the PYM app.

  2. Go to the Albums section.

  3. Either create a new album or open an existing one you want to make collaborative.

2. Turn on collaboration

  1. Inside the album, look for the Invite or Collaborate option (top right info icon).

  2. Tap it to make the album collaborative.

3. Invite family and friends

  1. Choose how you want to share the invite link

  2. Send the link to the people you want to join.

  3. They can open the link in their browser and contribute photos without installing the PYM app. Installing the PYM app is optional for collaborators. They can still upload photos via the shared link. See screenshot.

    1. Use Add Album to Existing PYM account to get this album in the app

    2. Sign In with Google or Apple ID if you just want to upload photos.

4. Start building the shared album

Once they’ve joined, collaborators can:

  • Add their own photos to the album

  • Help you collect different angles and moments from the same event

  • Make sure everyone’s favorite memories are included before you turn the album into a printed photo book

All photos live in one place, ready to be arranged into a photo book you can print directly from PYM.


Managing Your Collaborative Album

  • You stay in control of the album.

  • You can add or remove collaborators at any time.

  • Only people with access to the album link or invite can see and add photos.


Collaborative albums make it easy to turn group moments into one shared photo book—without chasing everyone for files in different apps. Create your album, send the invite link (no app required for them), and let everyone drop in their favorite memories so you can turn them into a keepsake you’ll all treasure.
