Its powerful AI automatically tags your images, allowing you to search for specific people, pets, places, or things without any manual organizing. Once your memories are safely stored online, the app can free up precious space on your phone. It also creates curated albums, collages, and animations for you, and makes sharing large collections with friends and family incredibly simple and fast.</span></p>

Users can store an unlimited number of high-quality photos and videos for free (with some limitations on storage quality for free accounts). The app organizes media using AI to categorize and label images, making them searchable by people, objects, or locations.
