All About Albums

Albums allow you to organize your media. Because you can name an album almost anything, you can create albums for specific events, for the months of the year, for each day, for a trip, etc. Each album has an "album cover" or thumbnail that displays. The image that displays is the most recent image uploaded or moved into the album. The organization of media in the album doesn't affect the album cover, and you can't explicitly choose the album cover.

Your "default" album is also your username and its name cannot be changed. Within your default album, you can have multiple albums, and within each album, you can have multiple albums.

Important! In the list of all albums, albums at the first level within your default album actually display as if they are at the SAME level as the default, but they are actually sub-albums.

See the album structure

In addition to your personal albums, you can also create Group Albums that you share with other Photobucket users.

You can navigate between albums, move media between albums, rename and delete albums, add themes to albums, and share any album or media in any album.

Album components

All albums have similar components, with a few difference between personal and group albums. See Album components for details.

Album privacy

All albums can be set to public or private, and privacy settings work the same for all albums. See Album privacy for details.

Album limitations

You can use the View All link to view all your images on one page. You can also use the Organizer or the Grid view to view all your images in an album.

Albums can only be five levels deep from your default album. For example: myalbum> album1 > album2 > album3 > album 4 > album 5. You can have up to 200 albums per level.

Note: If your existing albums are already more than five levels deep, the depth limitation does not apply.
