Photos for grandparents
New family photos for grandparents, without another gadget.
A digital photo frame is a lovely gift, but it’s one more device to buy, set up and keep on Wi-Fi in every home. Lumo puts the family’s new photos and videos on the phone or tablet grandparents already have, free, and lets them answer with a heart or a comment.
Free on iPhone, iPad and Android. Private to your family.

A frame shows photos. Lumo lets grandparents answer.
Frames like Aura, Nixplay or Skylight show a slideshow in one room. That’s lovely on a shelf, but it goes one way: grandparents can see the photos, not reply to them.
In Lumo, every photo and video sits in one private family album, in order. Grandparents tap a heart or leave a comment, and everyone sees it right beside the photo.
What each one costs
A frame is a device you buy for each home, and some makers charge a yearly fee for more storage or features. Check each maker’s current prices.
The Lumo album is free: unlimited photos and videos, inviting the whole family, hearts and comments. Lumo Pass is optional, for unlimited magic, full-length videos and saving originals.
Easy enough for grandparents
Nothing to plug in, pair or keep charged in the living room:
- They join with a private invite link or a 4-digit family code
- New photos appear on their own, with nothing to sync
- Large photos and simple screens, with no ads
- It works on iPhone, iPad and Android
Already have a frame?
They work well together. Save any photo from the album to your phone and add it to the frame’s app, or print it.

Questions
How do grandparents join?
Send them a private invite link and they tap it, or give them your 4-digit family code. A code only asks to join; someone in the family lets them in.
Does it work on a tablet?
Yes. Lumo works on iPad and on Android phones and tablets, so a tablet on the kitchen table can become the family album.
Who can see our photos?
Only the people in your family album. Nothing is public, there are no followers, and photos are never shown to anyone outside your family.
Is Lumo really free?
Yes. The album, unlimited photos and videos, inviting family, hearts and comments are all free. Lumo Pass is optional, for unlimited magic, full-length videos and saving originals. Unlimited means unlimited for everyday family use, under fair use.
