OurPlace brings together everything you need to share, organise, and enjoy family photos and videos privately — without the noise, ads, or algorithms of social media. Here's what's inside.
Every space on OurPlace is invite-only. There are no public profiles, no discovery features, and no way for strangers to find your photos or videos. You choose exactly who sees your family's memories.
Unlike social media platforms that default to public, OurPlace starts private and stays private. No algorithms deciding who sees what. No suggested friends. No data harvesting. Just your family, your memories, your rules.
Go premium and never worry about running out of storage again. Upload every precious photo and video without counting or compressing quality. Your memories deserve better than "storage full" warnings.
Our free Starter plan gives you 50 photos and videos per space to get started. When you're ready for more, premium plans unlock unlimited uploads so you can capture every smile, every milestone, every ordinary Tuesday.
Tag family members in photos and videos so everyone can find the moments that matter to them. Whether it's baby's first steps or grandad's birthday, tagging makes it easy to browse by the people you love.
People tags keep your memories organised around what matters most: your family. Find every photo and video of your little one in seconds, or see all the moments you've shared with grandparents in one place.
Photos and videos are automatically sorted by when they were taken, not when they were uploaded. Upload a batch of holiday photos from last month — they'll slot right into the correct place in your timeline.
Filter by month and year to jump straight to the memories you're looking for. Relive your baby's first Christmas, or browse back to that summer holiday. Your timeline tells your family's story in the right order.
Leave a heart on a photo you love. Add a gentle comment to share a memory or a laugh. Small moments of connection that bring your family closer — without the pressure of likes, followers, or algorithms.
Comments and reactions keep the conversation going around photos that matter. Grandparents can share a sweet message, siblings can reminisce, and every photo becomes a little thread of family love.
Create separate spaces for different parts of your family life. A baby album for year one. A shared family space everyone adds to. A private space just for grandparents. Everything stays organised.
Each space has its own members, roles, and memories — so you can share freely without worrying about the wrong people seeing the wrong things. Create as many as you need on premium plans.
Review photos and videos before they go live in your shared space. When upload approval is turned on, uploads from contributors are held in a review queue until you or a co-host gives the thumbs up.
Perfect for curated family albums where you want to keep things tidy, or for spaces shared with extended family where you want a little extra control over what appears. You stay in charge.
Invite family members with the right level of access. Viewers can browse and react. Contributors can upload photos and leave comments. Co-hosts can manage members, approve uploads, and edit settings.
Everyone gets the experience that makes sense for them. Grandparents can enjoy photos without accidentally changing settings. Parents can manage the space. Everyone contributes at their comfort level.
Common questions about how OurPlace features work.
Yes! When you invite someone as a contributor or co-host, they can upload photos and videos directly to your shared space. Contributors can add content and leave comments, while co-hosts can also manage members and settings. You can also turn on upload approval if you want to review uploads before they appear in the album.
OurPlace reads the date each photo was taken from its EXIF metadata and automatically sorts your timeline by that date — not when the photo was uploaded. This means you can upload a batch of photos from last month's holiday and they'll appear in the correct chronological position. You can filter by month and year to jump straight to the memories you're looking for.
OurPlace has three roles: Viewer — can browse photos, leave reactions, and enjoy the album. Contributor — can do everything a viewer can, plus upload photos and leave comments. Co-host — can do everything a contributor can, plus manage members, approve uploads, and edit space settings. The space owner has full control over all settings, roles, and the space itself.
Absolutely. You can create multiple spaces — one for baby's first year, one for the wider family, one just for grandparents, or any combination that works for you. Each space has its own members, roles, and photos, so everything stays organised and the right people see the right things. Premium plans unlock more spaces.
When upload approval is enabled on a space, any photos uploaded by contributors are held in a review queue rather than appearing immediately. The space owner or co-hosts can then approve or reject each photo before it goes live in the album. This gives you full control over what appears in your shared family space — perfect for curated albums or spaces shared with extended family.
