Photo Together
Share photos peer-to-peer with friends. Instantly download to your device — no cloud servers involved.
Share photos peer-to-peer with friends. Instantly download to your device — no cloud servers involved.
When both devices are online, messages and files transfer directly between them. Nothing passes through any cloud server.
If your friend is offline, text messages are queued on our secure relay (encrypted in transit) and delivered as soon as they come back online. Files always go peer-to-peer, never to the cloud.
Sign in on both your phone and desktop with the same account to transfer photos directly between them — no cloud upload, no quality loss. The desktop also acts as your always-on file relay (so friends can fetch files anytime) and keeps a full local backup of every message and photo. Perfect if you shoot on phone and edit on desktop.
When both devices are online, no — they go directly peer-to-peer using an end-to-end connection. When the recipient is offline, text messages are temporarily held on our message broker (TLS-encrypted in transit) and delivered when they reconnect. Photos and files never touch our server.
Text messages will reach them as soon as they come back online — they are queued on our broker for up to 30 days. Files require the recipient to be online to download. If they need the file later, simply leave a desktop user as your always-on relay (see below).
We don't store your files on any server — they go device to device. This keeps the service free of cloud-storage costs and ensures only you and your friends can access your files. The trade-off is that real-time file delivery needs both ends connected.
Keep one desktop or laptop installed and signed in. It will act as an always-on file relay — friends can fetch files at any time even if your phone is asleep — and it automatically holds a complete local backup of every message and photo you ever shared.
Yes. Sign in to the same account on both devices. Photos sent in any chat or shared album will sync directly between them, full resolution, peer-to-peer. This is a popular workflow for users who shoot on a phone and edit or back up on a desktop — no cloud service, no upload limits, no compression.
Backup happens locally on each device you sign in on. There is no automatic cloud backup. A desktop with the app installed is the simplest way to keep a full record of your conversations and media.
Your account and any subscription you purchase are tied to the email address you sign in with. To use the same account across mobile and desktop — and to keep your subscription active across platforms — make sure you sign in with the same email everywhere. Signing in with a different email creates a separate account with its own friends, albums, and subscription.
We never read or scan your photos and messages. See our Privacy Policy for details.
