Built for groups who care where their photos go.
Fika has the sharing basics down cold: collections, uploads, search, and full-quality downloads. What sets it apart is everything around them. Real control over who gets in, what they can do, and what happens to a photo after it’s shared.
The tools other photo apps don’t have.
Built for the moment a shared library stops being a convenience and starts being a responsibility.
Take a photo down, and keep it down.
Most apps stop at delete. When a photo is taken down in Fika, it’s removed permanently and quietly fingerprinted, so the same image can’t slip back in later.
Gone for good
A takedown skips the trash. The photo is removed everywhere in the space, immediately and permanently.
Re-uploads get caught
Exact copies are blocked on sight. Turn on edited-version matching and Fika also flags crops, screenshots, and re-compressed copies, each with a match-strength meter so close calls get human eyes.
Anyone can raise a hand
Members can request a takedown on any photo. You choose whether requests process instantly or wait for an admin’s review.
A door between the link and the photos.
Invite links get forwarded. That’s how word spreads, and how a stranger can slip in. With the waiting room on, joining and seeing are two different things.
Nothing shown until you say so
New joiners wait outside. No photos, no members, no names, until someone who runs the space lets them in.
Approve in one tap
A banner on the home page shows who’s waiting. Review and wave them through, or turn them away, without leaving the page.
Trusted invites skip the line
People you invite directly by email walk straight in. The waiting room is for the link that traveled further than you planned.
Fewer copies of the same moment.
Forty people photograph the same game, and someone uploads the group-text export on top of it. Fika notices, so you don’t have to.
Exact copies, grouped
Identical files are found automatically and gathered into sets for one-tap cleanup.
Look-alikes, flagged
Perceptual matching spots resized, edited, and re-saved versions of the same shot, each with a confidence meter.
You stay in charge
Compare side by side and keep the best one, or keep them all. Nothing is removed without a person deciding.
You decide who’s in, and what they can do.
Four roles, three kinds of invites, and no public anything.
Roles that fit real groups
Owner, admin, member, viewer: from the person who runs everything to the grandparent who just wants to look.
Invites with guardrails
Email invites, magic links, or a password to join. Cap the role an invite can grant, limit its uses, set an expiry, and decide whether members can invite at all.
Private by architecture
No public feed, no discovery algorithm, no facial recognition, no ads, and nothing used to train a model.
Everything you’d expect, done well.
Guarding the photos is half the job. The other half is a place your group actually likes spending time in.
Find any moment in seconds.
Search by tag, season, year, or a few words, with suggestions as you type. Filter any view by who uploaded, media type, or date. Or scroll the whole history in All Photos: every picture, across every collection, on one page.
A viewer worth lingering in.
Photos open full screen with instant previews, smooth zoom, and keyboard navigation. The details panel knows when and where a shot was taken, down to the camera and lens, and puts geotagged photos on a map.
Run the group without a spreadsheet.
A dashboard shows members, collections, storage, and activity at a glance. Billing is one flat plan with a clear meter, and when it’s time to step back, you can hand the whole space, billing included, to next year’s organizer.
Made for the big screen.
Pick a few collections and play them full-screen on any projector or TV. Photos gently pan and cross-fade at the pace you set, and the show loops on its own for hours with no one minding the laptop.
Bulk uploads
Drag in a whole shoot at once. Uploads queue, retry, and verify until every file lands.
iPhone photos, handled
HEIC converts automatically on the way in, so every photo opens for everyone.
Photos and videos
Both live side by side, kept at full quality. No compression, ever.
Collections, tags, and dates
Organize by event, season, or year, the way your group already thinks about time.
Pin, lock, and merge
Keep the important collections on top, freeze finished ones, and tidy up strays.
Everything is downloadable
Save one photo or pull a whole collection down as a single zip. The originals are yours.
Trash and restore
Deletions wait in the trash before they’re final, so a slip isn’t a loss.
Activity feed
A quiet log of who joined and what they added, for admins who like to know.
Your name on the door
Add your group’s logo and it shows up on invites, search, and the space itself.
One flat plan
A clear storage meter, simple billing, and no per-member pricing. Members never pay.
Every group, one account
Belong to the team and the troop and the family. Switch between them in a click.
Session security
See every device signed in to your account, and sign any of them out from anywhere.
Your group, in your pocket.
The mobile app goes where the photos happen. Add shots straight from your camera roll, browse and search the whole library, and handle invites and approvals from the sideline.
Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.
Bring your group’s photos somewhere built for them.
Start a private space for your group in a few minutes. Invite everyone when you’re ready. The photos will follow.
