How can I decide who can view or order my album photos?

You can decide who can view or order your album photos by setting the „Album status“. You are asked to select a status when you create a new album but you can also change this setting later by opening the detailed view of an album and choosing another status.

You can set the status as:

  • „Private“: Only you can view and order your album photos.
  • „Public“: Everyone can view your album photos. You can use the option "Send invitation" to invite friends or to publicise the link to your albums in a social network as Twitter, Facebook or Google+.
  • „Public with password“: Only persons who got the password for this album from you can view your photos. Special advantage of this status: Your family and friends can also order your album photos.

How can I invite someone to my album?

Ensure that the album is set to "public" or " public with password". It can then be found on the internet via a link.

You can invite friends and family by using the "invite" function displayed in each album. Click on the letter symbol  invite  "Send invitation to this album" which is at the top right under the Album status.status. This then opens a window where you can enter your friends’ email address along with a template for your invitation. You can, of course, change the title (subject of the email) and message (body of the text) according to your wishes. Your friends will then receive this email containing the link and a password if you have set one.

Want more people to be able to view the album more easily? Set the album to "public" and give the link to your friends, relatives and anyone else you want. To get the link, simply click the link icon  link symbol . You can publish the album quickly and easily on Facebook or Twitter Twitter by clicking the relevant button (at the top right of the album overview) and logging in. Facebook users also have the option of posting link on their own or friends’ walls or in groups. There, you can also choose who can see the link on your Facebook site (everyone, friends, only me, user-defined).

Can I also cancel an invitation to an album?

If you do not want someone to be able to view or order your album photos, you only need to change the album status to „Private“ or „Public with password“. If your album already has the status „Public with password“, you only need to change the password.

Where can I find the albums I was invited to?

If you do not have a Pixum account yourself, simply follow the link and if necessary enter the password, that you got from your friends, and you will be able to view their photos!

If you have your own Pixum account, log in and go to your inbox or the overview of your albums. At the left, you will find several topics about albums, among them „Albums by friends“ at the bottom.
