How do I send photos securely online?

The safest way is to use a private link that only the people you choose can open, and that disappears after a set time. With Gabyly you upload your photos or videos, choose how long the link should live (from 10 minutes to forever), and share it by WhatsApp, email or any app. You can add a password, hide the download button, and erase everything with one tap.

What is the safest way to share family photos and videos?

Avoid sending originals through public social feeds or unprotected chats, where copies live forever. Instead use a private, expiring link like Gabyly: media is stored on European servers, shown with a subtle watermark, and the link self-expires so it can't be re-shared endlessly. You also see who opened it and from where.

How can I send photos that automatically expire or delete themselves?

Gabyly lets you set a lifetime for every link — 10 minutes, an hour, a week, or until you erase it. When the time is up, the link stops working and the files are removed.

Can I share photos without making the other person sign up?

Yes. With Gabyly the recipient just taps your link and views the memory in their browser — no account, no app install, no registration.

How do I password-protect the photos I share?

When you create a Gabyly link you can add a password the viewer must enter before anything is shown, and combine it with an expiry time and a hidden download button.

Why Gabyly exists

Born from a parent's conscience

I'm a parent, like you. I wanted my children's first steps, their birthdays and their messy, beautiful mornings to reach the people we love — without leaving a trail strangers could follow.

Every photo we post can travel further than we ever intended. Faces, names, birthdays and the little details of a child's life can be copied, kept and pieced together by people we'll never meet. Once something is online, it can be almost impossible to take back.

Our children can't consent to the digital footprint we create for them. Protecting it is part of loving them. Gabyly was built so you can share the moments that matter — and stay in control of who sees them, for how long, and what happens next.

Share with love. Stay in control. That's the whole reason Gabyly is here.

— A parent with a conscience

Identity, quietly stolen

A child's name, face and birthday can be enough for someone to build a false identity that follows them for years. Less exposure means less risk.

The internet never forgets

A picture shared once can be saved, re-shared and resurface long after you've forgotten it. Memories should belong to your family — not to a server somewhere.

Closeness without oversharing

You shouldn't have to choose between staying close to loved ones and protecting your children. Gabyly lets you do both.

Why Gabyly is a safer way to send photos

How private, expiring links compare to sending photos over WhatsApp, email or social media.

When you send a photo through WhatsApp, email or social media, you lose control the moment it leaves your phone. The recipient keeps a permanent copy, it can be forwarded endlessly, and it often sits on servers used for advertising. Gabyly takes a different approach: every photo or video is shared through a private link that you can password-protect and that expires automatically — so your memories don't live forever in someone else's chat history.
