MyAlbum is a company with deep Frisian roots that has grown into an internationally recognised platform for photo sharing and storytelling. Founded in 2003 under the name MijnAlbum, the company was established with the goal of making it easier for people to share their cherished memories in the form of digital albums with family and friends. At the time, digital cameras were becoming increasingly popular, but there were few simple and secure ways to organize and share photos online. Many people still relied on physical prints or cumbersome email attachments to distribute their pictures, leading to a demand for a more seamless solution. MyAlbum set out to fill this gap create an intuitive platform that allowed users to compile, customize, and privately share their photo albums in just a few clicks.

Where it all started

Over the years, as technology evolved and smartphones revolutionized photography, MyAlbum adapted to the changing landscape by enhancing its features, offering cloud storage, and incorporating smart tools for storytelling. Today, MyAlbum continues to innovate, helping millions of users worldwide turn their moments into beautifully curated visual narratives while maintaining its commitment to simplicity, privacy, and ease of use. Today, MyAlbum is still trying find the perfect way to share stories through photos, videos, and text with those who matter most. Whether it’s family, friends, school, or a sports team, you can securely and easily share memories online within a private group.

Where we are right now

The program helps you to quickly create a beautiful composition of your photos, videos and texts, so that you can relive the moment. That is also MyAlbum's mission, because memories are the most valuable thing we collect in our lives. In this way we want to prevent them from being lost or snowed under in this fast digital age.
