Here’s the fastest way to create a photo album on Google Photos - Talk Android

We all have that one friend who swears they’ll “sort their photos later.” Spoiler: they never do. Between endless screenshots, vacation selfies, and pet photos, our camera rolls are chaos. Thankfully, Google Photos makes it incredibly easy to turn that digital mess into beautiful, shareable albums — and even real printed books if you want something tangible. Here’s how to do it in minutes.

Creating an album on your phone

If you’re using an Android smartphone, chances are Google Photos is already saving your images automatically. The app keeps everything backed up to your Google account, so even if your phone goes missing, your memories won’t.

Once you’re logged in, making an album takes just a few taps:

1. Open the Google Photos app.
2. On the home screen, tap the little ‘+’ icon at the top.
3. Choose ‘Album’ from the menu.
4. Give your album a title (something more creative than “Summer 2024,” perhaps).
5. Select the photos you want to include.

And that’s it — you’ve just created your own photo album. You can even add a short description or rearrange the images later.

What makes this feature so handy is the ability to share albums instantly. Just tap “Share,” select your contacts, and your friends or family can view — and even add — their own photos if you enable collaboration. It’s perfect for group trips, weddings, or just family moments you want everyone to relive together.

Making an album from your computer

If you prefer a bigger screen or you’re working from your laptop, you can do the same from the Google Photos website. Here’s the quick route:

1. Go to Google Photos via your browser.
2. Click on the ‘+’ icon at the top of the page.
3. Choose ‘Album’ and name it.
4. Upload or select the photos you want to include.

The process mirrors the mobile version, and everything syncs automatically across your devices. Whether you add a photo from your phone or computer, it will appear everywhere — one of Google’s simplest yet most underrated conveniences.

You can include up to 20,000 photos or videos in a single album, which should be enough even for the most dedicated shutterbugs.

Turning your digital album into something real

Here’s where Google Photos adds a lovely finishing touch. Once your album is ready, you can transform it into a printed photo book or order physical prints directly through the app.

Just open your album, tap on the options menu, and select the “Print store” feature. You’ll be able to choose from different layouts, sizes, and finishes, then pay easily via Google Pay. It’s an effortless way to turn digital memories into something you can actually hold — or gift to someone special.

The beauty of simple organisation

We all take more photos than we’ll ever have time to sort, but Google’s smart features make it easier than ever to keep things tidy. The app’s AI can even suggest albums automatically — grouping pictures from a specific event, trip, or person — so you spend less time organising and more time enjoying.

In a world where our lives are increasingly stored in the cloud, having your favourite moments neatly collected in one place feels surprisingly satisfying. Whether it’s a family holiday, your child’s first steps, or just that perfect sunset photo, Google Photos helps make sure your memories stay organised, safe, and ready to revisit anytime.
