The school trip, sports day or end-of-year play, shared with thirty families at once. One album link, opened on whatever phone each parent has, with the controls a set of children's photos deserves.
Drop your file here
Drop several at once and they become one album link
Files up to 100 MB free
Upload the photos together and they become one album with one link. Send it through the class newsletter, the parents' group chat or a QR on the note home. Parents open it in the browser with no account and can save the whole set as one ZIP. On Pro add a password and an end date so the album closes when term does.
A class is the most mixed audience you will ever send photos to: new iPhones, old Androids, a grandparent's tablet. A link is a web page, so it opens the same way on all of them, with nothing to install and no password to a service they signed up for once.
An album link is unlisted and not indexed by search engines. But anyone with the link can forward it, and a class album can travel far in a big group chat. On Pro, add a password, an end date, and keep a disable switch in your dashboard for the moment something is shared that should not be.
Share files securely by linkPhotos open full size, not as compressed chat thumbnails, so a parent can print the one of their child crossing the finish line. Each photo has its own link inside the album, and a single download button saves the whole set as one ZIP for the parents who want everything.
Share a photo album with one linkThe link is short text, so it survives every channel a school already uses: the weekly newsletter, the class WhatsApp group, or an email from the office. For families in no group, print the QR code on the letter that goes home. The view counter tells you whether it is actually reaching people.
Make a QR codeParents cannot upload their own photos. There is no guest upload. One person collects the photos and posts them.
It does not check consent for you. No face detection or blurring. Removing photos of children without consent is on you, before you upload.
A password cannot stop a screenshot. Password, expiry and downloads-off keep strangers out and deter saving. A parent who can see a photo can still screenshot it.
Storage is finite. A free sign-in covers files up to 100 MB each; Pro raises that to 200 MB, with room for a year of class albums. Each photo is its own link, so on Free every photo counts toward your free links.
Before anything else, check your school's photo consent list and leave out any child whose family has opted out. Then pick the photos worth sending; forty good ones beat four hundred.
Select them all and drop them on the upload card. They become one album link, and every photo also gets its own link inside it. iPhone HEIC photos are converted to JPEG in your browser before upload.
On Pro, set a password and an end date, then share the link in the newsletter or the parents' chat, or print the QR on the note home. Put the password in a separate message from the link.
A class is the most mixed audience you will ever send photos to: new iPhones, old Androids, a grandparent's tablet, a parent who only checks email on a work laptop. Shared albums tied to one ecosystem, or apps that need an invitation and an account, lose a few families every time. A link is a web page, so it opens the same way on all of them, and nobody has to install anything or remember a password to a service they signed up for once.
An album link is unlisted: it is not indexed by search engines and not listed anywhere public. But anyone who has the link can open it and forward it, and a class album can travel far once it lands in a big group chat. For children's photos that is a reason to add the Pro controls rather than an afterthought.
The link is short text, so it survives every channel a school already uses: the weekly newsletter, the class WhatsApp group, the school's messaging app, or an email from the office. For families who are not in any group, print the QR code on the letter that goes home in book bags; pointing a phone camera at it opens the album. The view counter tells you whether it is actually reaching people, which is more than a newsletter can.
Photos open full size, not as compressed chat thumbnails, so a parent can print the one of their child crossing the finish line. Each photo has its own link inside the album, handy when a parent asks for just that one. And a single download button saves the whole album as a ZIP, for the parents who want every photo from the trip on their computer.
Two patterns work. One album per event keeps things tidy: 'Science museum trip', 'Sports day', 'Winter concert'. One album per term that you add to after each event means parents bookmark a single link and always find the latest. Each album holds a generous amount, which is hundreds of photos at web size or a good number at full resolution.
Not only teachers do this. A class rep collecting photos from a school fair, a PTA volunteer sharing the prom photographer's preview, a coach sending team pictures after the season: same job, same link. If several adults took photos, have them send you the originals and upload them together, because parents cannot add photos to the album themselves.

Pick a control to see it applied to a real link. Free with every link, and more when you go Pro.
Custom link namePRO
Name the link yourself instead of a random code. linkinseconds.com/p/your-name reads clean in an email, on a slide, or under a QR code.
Password protectPRO
Add a password and the file stays sealed until someone types it. The link can be forwarded anywhere and still only opens for people who have the word.
Expiry & view limitPRO
Set an end date or a view cap and the link stops on its own. Send a quote that expires Friday, or a preview that closes after five opens, without remembering to delete it.
Free QR codeFREE
Every link gets a crisp QR code, free on any plan. Put it on a menu, a flyer, a wall label or a product box, and it opens the same link a tap would.
View trackingFREE
See how many people opened the link and when, free on every plan. Go Pro for the full picture: referrers, devices, countries, and QR-vs-direct opens.
The trip, sports day or play, shared with the whole class in one link.
Collect photos from several adults and send one link to every family.
Send a view-only preview before the official set, with downloads off.

What people say
“The admin interface is incredibly intuitive and set up exactly how a user actually thinks. My students all said it was easy to use and worked perfectly.”
“The app is genuinely nice and easy to handle. I keep all my different app links in one place, my App Store and Play Store screenshots, and I organise my images and PDFs into albums with tags. The big storage means everything just lives here.”
“I handle contracts, invoices and legal files for several different organisations, so almost everything I send is password protected. Link in Seconds makes that simple, and I run my portfolio on a custom domain. It is easy to use and genuinely affordable.”
