KinPhotos is a private web gallery for preserving, browsing, searching, and adding family photos. Families can organize images by person, year, and place, and members can upload from a phone or computer, including complete folders. The service supports original-quality storage, face search, shared albums, and family sharing. Members can comment on photos and attach scans of handwritten notes from printed-photo backs. Optional face grouping and duplicate finding begin switched off, and suggestions require family acceptance. KinPhotos says face measurements and photo fingerprints are not sent to outside AI or cloud-vision services and are deleted when the optional feature is disabled. Galleries are invite-only, with photos stored on Cloudflare R2 and encrypted in transit and at rest. A subscription costs 49.00 USD per year after a free first month and covers unlimited family members without per-seat charges. The trial needs no card and allows 100 photos; afterward, browsing and downloads remain available, while adding photos and inviting family pause until subscription.
Who it is for
KinPhotos suits families building a shared archive across generations, with search, comments, albums, and contributions from multiple relatives. It is not intended as a camera-roll backup service.
