Sharing

Share a photo album between iPhone and Android

Guide · 4 min read

In a group of friends there are almost always iPhones and Androids. The sharing tools built into each phone don’t always talk to each other, and the photos end up compressed in a chat. Here is how to gather everything in one place.

The browser, common ground

A Kliche album opens in the browser, whatever the phone. Each member has their own QR code: they scan it, pick photos from their gallery, and the photos land in the album under their name. No app to install, on iPhone or Android.

The format trap

iPhones often save photos as HEIC, a format some devices and software struggle with. Kliche converts them to high-quality JPEG before sending. JPEG, PNG and WebP from Android go as they are, without recompression.

Original quality, without the location

Photos keep their original resolution. Only the precise GPS position and device details are removed from the file; an approximate town is used for the filters and the map.

Then you watch them together

Once the photos are gathered, the album becomes a room: everyone sees the same photo at the same moment, each from home or in front of the TV, with a built-in voice call. At the end, everyone downloads what they want in original quality, before the album is erased after 3 days.

Tip: send the link in the group chat and let the “Album ready” page tell you who hasn’t sent anything yet.

iPhone, Android: everyone in the same album.

One album, one QR code per person, original quality.
