You can use your Phanfare home page to add images and videos up to 200MB in size to any existing Phanfare album. If your video is larger than 200MB, you will need to upload it via the desktop application. See our list of accepted file types and file sizes.

2. Click on the album name under "My Albums" or create a new album.
3. Click on the "Add photos and videos" button
4. Click on "Select files" and a file browse dialog box will appear.
5. Navigate to the folder where your images and/or videos are located. You may select multiple files to upload by holding down the control (CTRL) key if using a PC or the Command key if using a Mac. To select all files in the folder, hit CTRL + A (or Command + A on a Mac).
6. Click "Open"
7. A status bar will appear with the progress of the upload.
8. When the file has uploaded, you will see the message "Upload complete." Now you can add additional images or videos, return to the album properties page or view your online album. Note that the video will not be available for instant playback on your albums until we convert it to Flash.
