Kliche
Comparison
Kliche or a Google Photos shared album for photos with friends?
The Google Photos shared album is many groups’ reflex: create the album, send the link, everyone adds their photos. Kliche starts from the same need but aims at another moment: watching the photos together.
Google Photos information checked on on its sharing help page.
| Criterion | Kliche | Google Photos shared album |
|---|---|---|
| Adding photos | Each member sends from their phone with their personal QR code | Anyone with the link can see and add photos |
| Account | None to watch; an account to create and send | Direct sharing designed for Google accounts; a link for others |
| Watching together | Same photo at the same moment for everyone, cursors, laser, drawing, built-in call | Everyone browses the album on their own |
| On the TV | TV mode: photo full size, upload QR code in a corner, the TV follows the session | No dedicated mode mentioned on the help page |
| Sorting | Place, Day, Person, Outing, Moment, map | Google Photos library search |
| Lifetime | Erased 3 days after creation; everyone keeps their favourites first | No automatic deletion mentioned: the album stays until sharing is stopped |
| Size | 10 people, 700 photos and 3 GB per album (beta) | No album limit stated on the help page |
Keep Google Photos if…
you want a lasting archive, the whole group already has a Google account, or the album has to welcome lots of people, as for a wedding.
Open a Kliche album if…
you want to get together to watch the photos, each from home or in front of the TV, and then have nothing lying around online. Everyone sends their photos in original quality, everyone sees the same one at the same moment, and the album disappears after 3 days.
Try Kliche for your next photo night.
One album, one link, and you watch together.
