Photo Album includes a Photo Store, where anyone can order prints and t-shirts of photos in your photo galleries. By default, photos in your public galleries are available for anyone to order. If you want to restrict access to any photos, you need to place them in a private or password protected gallery. For additional information about protecting galleries, see, Making Photo Galleries Private and Password Protecting Photo Galleries.

For most print sizes, you can add a photo frame to your order. We offer several options of frame styles and colors; however, not all frame styles are available in all sizes.
