FAQ

We use Amazon S3 storage services for all accounts on Yogile, safely securing your photos and videos in the cloud.

For added safety, Premium accounts also receive a second backup. This allows us to restore photos and videos that you may have accidentally deleted.

Our main focus has always been ease of use. People contributing photos and videos to your albums don’t need to create an account to upload their content, making it easy for friends and family to share their favorite moments without hassle.

Other services often make the upload process complicated. With Yogile, sharing stays simple.

You retain ownership of all your photos and videos, and they are stored in their original resolution.

We are an independent and profitable company. We have been running Yogile for 17 years and have streamlined our operations to provide reliable service.

You can count on Yogile to keep your photos and videos safe for the long haul.
