Frequently asked questions.

Otohpia is an AI-powered family photo organizer that turns large, messy photo libraries into meaningful digital albums. It curates the moments that matter, organizes them into stories, and keeps them in a family library you can share.

Google Photos is built for storing, searching and organizing photos. Otohpia turns the photos you pick into finished family albums: curated, organized into chapters, written where words help. Keep Google Photos for storing; Otohpia makes the albums.

Yes. It is designed for families whose photo libraries grew into the thousands. And there are no photo caps: if 200 photos deserve to stay, 200 stay.

Yes, for the judgement half: understanding what matters to your family, picking the best of near-identical shots, and writing the stories. The tidy-up half, removing screenshots, duplicates and blurry frames, is simple and deterministic, and screenshots are set aside before any credit is counted.

You tell us, in a few quick questions about your family and what you care about, and that context guides the curation. You review the result, and every correction teaches it your taste.

Yes. Screenshots, duplicates, burst leftovers and blurry frames are filtered out so the album focuses on the moments worth keeping. Nothing is ever deleted from your own library.

Yes. Download a print-ready PDF and print it anywhere, or order a printed book from our print partner and pay them at their checkout. Family takes 10% off and Heirloom 15%.

Yes. Your albums are yours, and you choose whether to share them. A shared album opens for anyone who has its link. You also choose exactly which photos we see; Otohpia never gets access to your whole library.

No. Your photos and your words are used to build your albums, never to train AI models. Advanced recognition runs only to find your loved ones in the photos you gave us, and that face data is deleted as soon as the matching is done.

Yes. Delete an album, or your whole account, and the photos, stories and family context go with it.

Parents and families who kept taking photos, thousands of them, and want the moments that matter kept somewhere they will actually look.

A folder stores files; an album tells a story. Otohpia doesn't replace your folders or photo library. It turns the photos you choose into a finished album with a beginning, a middle and an end, which you can share by link, download or print.

Yes. Keepsake, Family and Heirloom include unlimited digital albums, so each child, and you, can have your own. Tell Otohpia what each album is about, and it curates by your rules.

No. Every Otohpia album is digital: share it with one link, play it as a flipbook and download your sorted photos. Printing is optional. You can download a print-ready PDF (paid plans, and Free during its 14-day trial) or order a printed book, which is charged per book.

No. Keep your own copies of your original photos. Otohpia makes albums from the photos you choose. It doesn't replace a backup.

Not as your only copy. A common rule is three copies, on two kinds of storage, with one kept somewhere else. Storage keeps photos safe; an album is how your family actually sees them. Otohpia does the album part.

Yes. Add rules like "keep the funny faces" or "fewer selfies", and Otohpia uses them to curate. You can swap any photo or change any page afterwards.

No. Nothing is ever deleted from your own library. Photos that don't make the album stay where they are.

Yes. Keepsake and Family allow up to 300 MB of video per album, and Heirloom up to 800 MB. On Free, you can add videos during the 14-day trial.
