What is PhotoLog?
PhotoLog is a privacy-focused photo storage and sharing platform that emphasizes client-side AES 256 encryption, so photos, videos, and RAW files are encrypted on the user's device before being uploaded. It offers features such as encrypted albums, event photo crowdsourcing, flexible sharing controls, and support for multiple media formats.

Do I need to use your storage?

What happens if I lose my encryption password?
If you lose your encryption password, you won't be able to recover your data. We cannot recover encrypted data if the encryption password is lost.
What information is required to sign up?
We require a valid email address and billing information (processed by Stripe). However, all your media can be client-side encrypted, making it impossible for anyone (including PhotoLog staff) to access it without your decryption key.
Can I pay anonymously with crypto?
Yes, if you want to use PhotoLog 100% anonymously, you can also pay by crypto.
What does PhotoLog do with my photos?
Absolutely nothing. Your media is yours and yours alone.
What media formats are supported?

Are there any limitations on media viewing?
Some formats like rm, ram, x3f, and dng cannot be viewed using the online player. To view these files, you will have to download them locally. Only a thumbnail is visible online for those formats.
Do I retain ownership of my media?

How is billing information handled?
