Getting started

Making a Post

Add photos and memories to lovd with a simple 4-step process.

What's a Post?

A post is a single memory in lovd - like "Beach Holiday", "Mum's Birthday", or "First Day of School". Each post can have photos, a title, a date, and a description.

Posts come in three types:

Album

A collection of photos. Perfect for holidays, events, or everyday moments.

Event

Mark a special occasion like a wedding, birthday, graduation, or holiday.

Note

Save a recipe, journal entry, workout log, or other text-based memory.


How to Create a Post

Creating a post takes 4 simple steps:

Step 1: Choose the type

Pick what kind of post you're making.

Albums are best for photos. Events mark special occasions (you can pick from weddings, birthdays, holidays, and more). Notes are for text-based content like recipes or journal entries.

Step 2: Add your photos

Select photos from your phone or computer. You can:

  • Tap to select multiple photos at once
  • Drag and drop from your files
  • Pick photos you've already uploaded to lovd

The app will automatically read the date and location from your photos if available.

Step 3: Add the details

Give your post a title, and optionally:

  • Description - Add context or tell the story
  • Date - When did this happen? (Auto-filled from your photos)
  • Location - Where was it? (Auto-filled if your photos have location data)

Step 4: Choose collections

Pick which collections this post belongs to. You can select multiple - for example, add "Christmas Dinner" to both "Family" and "2024 Holidays".

You can also skip this step and add the post to collections later.

Tap Create and you're done!


Quick Tips

Starting from a collection? If you tap "New Post" while viewing a collection, that collection will be pre-selected in Step 4.
Dates and locations are automatic. When you upload photos, lovd reads the metadata and fills in the date and location for you. You can always change these manually.
