Creating Photo Galleries

Creating photo galleries in Photo Album helps you organize your photos into categories. You can create multiple galleries and then upload your photos to those galleries.

You can make your photo galleries public, so that anyone can view them; private, so that they are hidden from public view; or password protected, so they can only be accessed if the visitor enters the correct password. For private or password protected galleries, an icon displays below the name of the gallery to indicate it is protected. Move your cursor over the icon to view the status of the gallery.

You can create a gallery and add photos later, or you can create the gallery and add photos now. For more information about adding photos at a later time, see Adding Photos to Photo Galleries.
