How do I make a photo category?
Learn how to organize and categorize your photos effectively for easy access and storage.
You can create new photo categories in Manage Photos
- In your account, click on Manage > Manage Photos from the main menu.
- Click on the blue bar that says + Create Photo Category.
- Type in the category name (for example: “Grade 6,” “Staff,” or “Sports Teams”).

- Set Category Permissions: Choose whether the category will be Open or Locked:
Open: Anyone with the upload link can upload photos into this category.
Locked: Only admins or designated users can upload photos into the category.
- Save the Category: Once you’ve entered the details, save your new photo category. It will now appear in your photo manager list.
✅ Tip: Use clear and consistent names for categories (e.g., “Grade 1,” “Grade 2,” instead of just “Photos”) so it’s easier to organize and manage them later.
