Guides for moving from other apps
Moving your family photos from other apps.
Most families share photos across a backup app, a shared album and a group chat. Lumo is one private album the whole family adds to, free, with unlimited photos and videos for everyday family use. Save the photos from the old album, add them to Lumo, and invite everyone with one link. These guides compare the apps and walk through each move.
