Features
Everything you need to share photos beautifully
Built for families, events and small studios who want something simpler than a photo-sharing platform — and more elegant than a plain Drive folder.
Folders become albums
Create a folder, drop in photos and videos. New uploads appear in the gallery automatically within about a minute.
Three ways to share
Public link, PIN-protected, or a secret link that is never listed. Add an expiry date or switch an album off whenever you like.
Cinematic slideshow
Every photo fits your screen — never cropped or zoomed — with a different smooth transition each time.
Background music
Drop MP3 files into the album folder and they play along with your slideshow.
Photos and videos, anywhere
Videos play inside the gallery, and it works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers.
Short, memorable links
Share picsfort.com/anthony-k7x2q9 instead of a long Google address. Easy to type, say and print.
WhatsApp-ready
One tap shares an album with a clean link. No account or app for the people you share with.
Simple owner dashboard
Create albums, pick covers, hide or expire them, replace secret links and see how often each album is opened.
How it works
From Drive folder to shareable gallery in three steps
Make a folder
Create a folder inside your PicsFort folder in Google Drive and add your photos, videos and music.
Choose how to share
In your PicsFort dashboard pick Public, PIN or Secret link. Add an expiry date if you want one.
Send your short link
Share picsfort.com/your-link on WhatsApp, print it, or turn it into a QR code. Add photos any time — the link stays the same.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What is PicsFort?
PicsFort turns a folder in your own Google Drive into a private photo and video gallery with a slideshow, background music and an easy link you can share on WhatsApp. You keep your files in your Drive; PicsFort shows them beautifully.
Do I have to upload my photos to PicsFort?
No. Your photos and videos stay in your own Google Drive. Your gallery runs in your own Google account, and the picsfort.com link service only stores the short link and the address it points to.
Do the people I share with need a Google account or an app?
No. Anyone with your link can open the gallery in a normal web browser on a phone, tablet or computer. If you protect an album with a PIN, they enter the PIN you gave them.
How private is it?
You choose per album: public link, PIN-protected, or a secret link that is never listed. A PIN protects the gallery page. The files themselves live in a Drive folder shared by link, so PicsFort is great for family and event albums but is not meant for highly sensitive documents.
Can I stop sharing or set an expiry?
Yes. You can switch an album off at any time, give it an expiry date, hide it from the main gallery, or replace a secret link with a new one.
What does a PicsFort short link look like?
Something like picsfort.com/anthony-k7x2q9. It is easy to type, say aloud, print on an invitation or turn into a QR code, and it takes visitors to your gallery.
What does it cost?
We are finalising early-access pricing. Send us a short message from the contact page and we will tell you the details and help you get set up.
Who is responsible for the photos and videos in a gallery?
The person who created and shared the gallery. PicsFort provides the technology only and does not host, review or control the content. See our Disclaimer, and use the Report a link page if you see something that should not be there.
Is PicsFort affiliated with Google?
No. PicsFort is an independent service that works with your own Google Drive. Google, Google Drive and Apps Script are trademarks of Google LLC.
