Photo Gallery Maker

No. The link is the whole credential — whoever holds it can open the gallery, on any device, with nothing to install and no sign-up. That is the point of it. You need an account to *make* one, because the pictures are stored against yours and someone has to own them, but the person receiving it needs nothing at all.

Two things do it, and they are independent. The link itself is 128 random bits, so it cannot be guessed or walked — there is no gallery number 1 to try. On top of that you can set a password, which is asked for before any picture is fetched, so a locked gallery does not leak its contents to somebody holding the link alone. Send the link and the password by different routes and neither one on its own opens it.

As long as you chose — an hour, a day, a week or thirty days — and never longer than the pictures themselves last. On a free account files are kept for thirty days, so a link set to thirty days over files with a week left will end in a week rather than showing a page of missing images. You can also stop sharing early, which kills the link immediately for everybody who has it.

Yes, mixed in with the photos. Video tiles show a still frame in the grid and play in place when opened, with normal controls. The same size limits apply as to any other file here, and a long clip is worth compressing first — the video-to-GIF and compression tools on this site will do that in your browser before you upload anything.

In your own storage on this site, the same place anything you save here lives, and counted against the same allowance. They are never public: each picture is handed to the gallery page through a signed URL that expires after fifteen minutes, so a URL copied out of the page stops working the same afternoon. The gallery itself carries a noindex, so search engines will not put your photos in a public index.

The upload is refused before it starts and says so, rather than failing halfway through a large set. A free account has 500 MB, which is a few hundred phone photos or a couple of short videos; you can delete anything you no longer need from My files, or move to a plan with more room. Nothing you have already shared breaks when you are near the limit — it only stops you adding more.

Not yet. A gallery is fixed once it is made, so a link somebody bookmarked always shows what you sent them. If you need a different set or a different layout, make a second gallery and stop sharing the first — the pictures are already uploaded, so it costs no extra space.
