PrivateFamily / Private baby photo album
Baby photo album
A private, encrypted baby photo album, shared only with your own
53% of French parents have already shared content about their children on social media, according to the CNIL (France's data protection authority), which urges caution: public content today can escape any control later. PrivateFamily starts from a simple principle — a baby album has no place on an open network. Source: CNIL, sharing children's photos on social media.
Timeline
A chronological feed, for the whole family
Every photo and video of your baby joins a shared timeline, sorted by date. No algorithmic feed, no sorting by popularity: just chronological order.
Child profile
A profile, a growth curve
Height, weight, milestones like "first steps" or "first word": your baby's profile fills in over time, visible only to the people you've invited.
Stories
A moment from daily life, then it fades
Like a regular story, but visible for 24 hours to your family circle only, then deleted for good — file included. Never a public or semi-public feed.
Private by design
End-to-end encrypted, not just "private" on paper
Many services call themselves "private" without end-to-end encrypting the content. PrivateFamily encrypts content on your phone before it's sent. Known limits are detailed on the encryption page.
End-to-end encrypted with your family's key, on your phone, before upload.
Capture date, file size, who sent or reacted: necessary for the service to work, never the content of your photos. Full details →

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How many photos can you store for free?
10 photos per month per family, no video, with no time limit. Premium (€4.99/month, no commitment) lifts these limits: unlimited photos and videos included.
Who can see the baby album?
In the app, only the people you invite, one by one, with a single-use code. There's no public feed, no search, and no recommendations.
Can you create a profile for each of your children?
Yes, each child gets their own profile: growth curve, milestones and photos associated with them, visible only to your family.
Are photos compressed before sending?
Yes, like most photo apps, the image is compressed on your phone before sending — then encrypted at that stage, before it ever leaves the device.
Can you get your photos back if you stop using PrivateFamily?
That's a genuine, honest limitation today: there's no bulk export tool for the album. Each photo remains individually downloadable depending on your role, though.
