Wix Photo Albums: Changing Your Album's Privacy Permissions

Manage access to your album, including setting whether or not a password is required to view it. Keep track of how your photos are used by controlling sharing, downloads, and more.

Notes:

• Adding a password to your cover page protects your entire album unless someone has a direct link to an inner page.

• Disable SEO in albums with password protection set up to ensure that inner pages of private albums do not appear in search results.

• Password-protected photo albums are not available on the Spaces by Wix app.

To change your album's privacy permissions:

1. Go to Photo Albums in your site's dashboard.

2. Click Manage Album next to the relevant album.

3. Set your album's privacy, permissions and SEO settings:

   1. Click the drop-down in the General section to expand it.

   2. Set your album access in the Who can access this album? section:

      • Everyone: Anyone with the album URL can view this album.

      • Password holders: Visitors need a password to view your photo album. Set your password and language:

        1. Enter a password in the What's the password for this album? field.

           Note: Click Show Password to view the password you've entered.

        2. Select the language of your album using the Choose the language visitors will see your album in drop-down.

   3. Enable the Let visitors share photos toggle to show a Share icon

      

      on each photo, video and gallery.

   4. Enable the Display toggle to show this album on the Photo Albums page of your main site.

      Note: To show it on other pages, go to the Editor.

   5. Enable the SEO toggle to let search engines find your album.

      Note: We recommend disabling SEO for password-protected albums, to prevent people finding links to inner pages of your password-protected albums.

   6. Click Save.

1. Set your album's download settings:

   1. Click the drop-down in the Download Settings section to expand it.

   2. Enable the Allow single photo downloads toggle to display a Download icon

      

      next to your photos, allowing visitors to download single photos. Select the image resolution:

      • Low resolution: Allow visitors to download a lower-quality version of your image.

      • High resolution: Allow visitors to download your image in its original quality.

   3. Enable the Allow downloads of entire galleries toggle to display a Download icon

      

      next to your galleries, allowing visitors to download full galleries.
