Photos and videos downloaded from Tinybeans to your smartphone can be easily uploaded to the FamilyAlbum app. FamilyAlbum includes unlimited storage, so you can back up all of your memories for free.
If you still have all of your photos/videos saved on your computer or smartphone, we recommend uploading the original files to FamilyAlbum. If you don’t have the original files, don’t worry, you can still easily upload your Tinybeans photos and videos to FamilyAlbum.
If you would like to transfer a large amount of data from your computer, it’s possible to upload them all at once using our Computer Upload Site. However, you will need to register for our Premium subscription service in order to use this feature.
We offer free trial period the first time you register for FamilyAlbum Premium. If you're interested, we encourage you to try it out to see if the features would be useful for your family. More information is available at https://family-album.com/premium.
Any photos and videos uploaded from a computer will remain visible even if you decide to end your subscription.
At FamilyAlbum, it's important to us that we continue to provide a free version that can be enjoyed on its own. Many of the perks that cost money in other apps, such as additional storage, are available for free with FamilyAlbum. We also have no plans to start charging for features currently available for free. We are grateful to all families who choose to use our service, whether they continue to use Premium or switch to the free version after transferring their photos/videos.
