Every photo you own, in one place.
The Library is your home base — a single hub where every upload flows from Inbox to a polished, published session. File it, group it, tag who’s in it, and deliver it, without ever losing a frame. On the web and in the app.
Every upload lands here first — unfiled and waiting. Clear it a whole day at a time.
Build a private session, get it just right, then publish when it’s ready to share.
Live on your profile and discoverable by the surfers in your shots.
Shapers get the same Library, tuned for boards instead of sessions.
What are you looking for?
Pick a feature area to see exactly where it lives — on the web and in the app, side by side. One-sided features are flagged, so you’re never hunting for a button that isn’t there.
Showing Library
Organize a published session for delivery.
Once a session is live, this is the workflow that makes surfers find themselves in seconds — and your approvals one tap.
Group by a surfer — or a label
Assign photos to a specific surfer, which auto-tags and notifies them, or make a free-text group like “Longboard set” for quick sorting. Colors keep the sidebar scannable.
Select shots, then assign
Turn on group mode, tap the frames that belong together, and assign them to a surfer or a group. A photo can live in more than one.
Surfers filter to just theirs
Anyone viewing the session taps a chip to instantly see only those waves — so requests, approvals, and downloads are effortless.
This organizes one session for delivery — separate from your Library’s cross-session People & Groups.
