Sharing

Share photos with friends without making them sign up

Guide · 4 min read

“Download the app, create an account, confirm your email.” By the third screen, half the group has given up. Sharing photos should fit in one link.

Every step loses people

A friend who has to install an app, choose a password and then accept an invitation has plenty of chances to give up. For looking at photos one evening, that is far too much effort.

The link, the only way in

With Kliche, the album’s creator sends a link to the group. Friends open it, pick a first name and a cursor colour, and they are in. No account, no password, to watch.

A link to watch, not to delete everything

The invitation link gives access to the album, not to its settings. Only the creator can delete it before the end. That is the minimum for a link passed around a group to stay harmless.

Send from your phone with a QR code

The photos are on the phone, but you watch on the computer. The album shows a QR code: scan it, pick your photos, and they land in the album without a cable or a messaging app. Creating an album and sending photos need a free account, signed in by email or Google, with no password.

Try it with your holiday photos.

One album, one link in the group chat, and you watch together.

Frequently asked questions

Can the link be forwarded to someone else?

Yes, like any link. Only share it with the group concerned; the album is erased after 3 days anyway.

Do my friends see my real name?

No, everyone chooses the first name they want to show in the album.
