Frequently Asked Questions

Ownstory is a collaborative storytelling platform where you can create beautiful group stories as gifts, keepsakes, and shared memories. For families and relationships, you can build family albums capturing milestones and traditions, create romantic stories celebrating your love journey, or compile friendship memories with your closest companions. Simply start a story, invite your loved ones to contribute photos, videos, and messages, then receive a beautifully designed keepsake you can treasure forever.
Getting started is simple! Choose from our family albums, love & romance, or friendship templates, then add a title and description for your story. Upload any initial content you'd like to include, then invite family members, your partner, or friends via email or shareable link. Contributors can add their own photos, videos, and written memories. Once everyone has contributed, we'll create a beautiful, professionally designed story for you to share and keep.
Anyone you invite can contribute to your story - family members, your partner, children, grandparents, or close friends. Contributors receive an invitation link and can easily upload photos, videos, and write messages directly through their browser or our mobile app. No account required for contributors! You as the story creator maintain control over who can participate and can review content before finalizing your story.
Absolutely! Ownstory offers various customization options to make your story uniquely yours. Choose from different design themes, color schemes, and layout styles that match your family's personality or the occasion you're celebrating. You can also add custom titles, captions, and organize content in the order that tells your story best.
Your privacy is our priority. Family stories are completely private by default - only people you specifically invite can view and contribute to your story. You control all sharing permissions and can choose to keep your story within your invited group or share it more broadly if you wish. Your personal memories and family moments remain secure and private unless you decide otherwise.
Ownstory is designed specifically for meaningful moments that matter most. Whether you're celebrating a wedding anniversary, creating a family reunion album, documenting a child's first year, or surprising your best friend with shared memories, our platform brings together multiple perspectives into one beautiful story. Unlike social media posts that get lost over time, Ownstory creates lasting keepsakes that families and couples can treasure for years to come.
