Your family's photos and family tree, one living record.

Your photos are stored in the United States and Canada for now, until they move to storage in the United States. Everything else about your family stays in the United States.

Your photos and the relationships you add build the family tree. Names find their place, and the tree fills with pictures. A family admin can also bring in a tree you keep elsewhere: a GEDCOM file from Ancestry, FamilySearch, MyHeritage and most genealogy programs, or a Gramps export. Not every name is family. When you tag a friend, a pet or something like a statue, choose Friend, Pet or Other. They stay off the tree, but you can still search for them, so you can always find those photos.

No. AI is optional, with two switches in Settings. "Kin, the AI assistant" can be switched off, and everything Kin helps with has a do-it-yourself way. "AI photo restore" is its own switch; a restore has no version without AI, so with it off no new restores are made.

Yes. Every member signs in in two steps: a passkey (your face, fingerprint or phone PIN), or your password plus a code from an authenticator app. For the most sensitive steps, like downloading everything, Kiniage asks you to confirm it's you again.

The membership includes 25 GB of photos, which is thousands of pictures for most members. Above that, each extra 100 GB, or part of it, is $10 a month ($100 a year on a yearly plan), added to your membership bill and charged to the card you saved with Kiniage. A new block of extra storage is added to your next regular bill. Storage charges aren't refunded; a lower amount applies from your next billing date. Extra storage is added only when you agree: before an upload goes past what you have, Kiniage asks first, and if you say "Not now" the photos that would go past it aren't added. Nothing is ever deleted for size, and the Billing page shows how much you use. Free days (the trial or a promo code) cover the base membership only, which includes 25 GB of storage. Any extra storage needs a card and is billed from the start.

Yes, in your phone's web browser, and you can add Kiniage to your home screen so it opens like an app and can send you notifications. Dedicated store apps may come later.

Yes, two ways. With a gift membership (no account needed, at kiniage.com/gift-membership): 3 months $30, 6 months $60 or 1 year $100. We email a one-time code, the time starts when it's redeemed, and it has no expiration date. Or you can sponsor a relative in your family: you pay their membership on your bill and can stop any time. You can also gift Kiniage Tokens you've bought to any other Kiniage member in your family.

You can cancel any time, and your membership runs until the end of the period you paid for, then doesn't renew. After it ends, your account is kept with limited access for 90 days, then it's deleted, and we email you 14 days before; starting your membership again within the 90 days keeps everything. Until then you can download all of your photos and information at any time, in standard formats, including before you cancel.

Every Kiniage family is private, so nobody can browse into it from outside, or as a member not yet in the family. Ask your relative to invite you from the Family page; they'll need your Kiniage code. Once you accept, you'll see what the family shares.

You decide. Each member chooses, in each family, who can tag them in photos. You can choose: "Yes, anyone in the family", "Ask me first" (when someone else tags you, it waits until you say if it's OK or not before anyone else can see you as tagged), or "Only me". Kiniage asks when you join, and you can change it any time in Settings. You can also see the tags already on you, and remove any of them or all of them at once. Removing a tag takes only your name off that photo; the photo stays.

Yes, once they join. On a photo, tap "Ask someone who isn't on Kiniage (send a link)", type your question and send the link. Until they create an account and join your family (a family admin approves if you're not one), the link shows no photo and no question, because family photos stay private to the family. Once they're in, the photo opens to your question and they can answer. The link works for 14 days.

Whoever starts a family is its admin, and can make other members admins. Each admin first agrees to a short statement. Admins decide who joins and what happens in the family. Kiniage doesn't check whether people are related, and isn't responsible for what admins decide. An admin can remove a member, who gets a kind notice and can send the admins one message. An admin can also keep someone from coming back. Removing someone can't call back copies they already downloaded. New members see everything right away, but for their first 7 days they can't download other people's photos or the family tree. A family can have as many members as it likes. Any member can invite relatives, and an admin approves each one. See the Terms of Service for the full details.

Yes, the basics. You can crop, straighten and brighten your photos, and an Auto-fix button fixes the light. Your edit is saved as a separate copy. You can go back to the original or delete the edit at any time. If you prefer, "Keep only the edited copy" replaces the original with the edit. The original then waits 30 days in Recently deleted, where you can still put it back. There are no filters, stickers or beauty effects. Kiniage is for keeping family photos true to life.

Yes. Make a place once, like a home named for who lived there, the town, even rooms if you like, and tag photos with it, just like tagging people. On a photo's page, the "Where was it taken?" box finds your saved places as you type. Your family sees the place's name and town on photos you share with them. Street addresses are optional and stay private to you unless you choose to show them.

The current versions are linked at the bottom of this page. Beta testers agree to the Terms and the Privacy Policy when they join.
