Open your albums full screen like an app, or upload straight from Photos and other apps into any album.

Add to Home Screen (iPhone & iPad)

  1. Sign in, then open your My Home page (imageevent.com/yourname). Sign in

Upload from Photos

Add photos and videos to any album straight from the Photos app—or Files, Mail, and other apps that use Share. One Shortcut on the Share sheet; no need to open the site just to upload.

  1. Connect this phone. Sign in to Connect and copy a device key so Photos can send to your albums. Sign in
  2. Add the Shortcut. Install it, paste the key from step 1 when asked, then you’re set. Don’t share that copy with anyone. Get Shortcut Shortcut setup question for pasting a private ImageEvent key once
  3. Upload from Photos. Pick photos or videos, tap Share, then Add to ImageEvent. Works the same from Files, Mail, and many other apps. Choose an album—Inbox is first. If iPhone asks about imageevent.com, choose Always Allow. iOS Photos Share sheet with Add to ImageEvent highlighted in the actions list
  4. See what you sent. You’ll get a quiet note that N items were received for processing, then the album opens (thumbnails may still be finishing). Turn on Always use last album below if you want to skip picking each time.

Build the Shortcut yourselfFor developers and Shortcuts power users.

Create a Shortcut named Add to ImageEvent that receives Images and Videos from the Share sheet. All calls go to https://imageevent.com/api/v1.

  1. Connect once. On this page tap Connect, copy the ie_… key, and use an Import Question to fill its Text action during setup. That answer is saved in the installed copy. Ask Each Time does not save an answer between runs. Never put the key in a URL or publish a configured copy.
  2. Setup. Prefer GET /share/setup with Authorization: Bearer ie_… (combined account + album picker). On 401, show an auth error—not a generic album message.
  3. Start a batch. POST /batches with JSON {"albumId":"…","count":N}. Cap the Share sheet at 200. The response includes batchId, uploadUrl, and archiveUrl with a sticky ;jsessionid=—use those URLs for every file, retry, and archive call.
  4. Send each file. POST to the returned uploadUrl with the file body, headers Authorization, X-IE-Batch (required), X-Upload-Index (Repeat Index), X-Upload-Id = batchId + “-” + Repeat Index (stable on retry within this batch; do not use filename+index), and X-IE-Filename. Expect HTTP 202 = received for processing, not finished rendering. On wrong_backend / 503, retry the same sticky URL and same batch (do not invent a new batch). On 401, show authentication failed. On 409, the upload id was reused with a different album/batch.
  5. Finish. Check every upload returned 202, show a quiet “Received N for {album}” (processing may continue), then Open URLs with urls[chosen label]. Never put the key in a URL.

Base URL: https://imageevent.com/api/v1. When iOS asks about the domain, choose Always Allow.
