Where it all started
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.
