Wix Photo Albums: Changing Your Album's Privacy Permissions
3 min read
Manage access to your album, including setting whether or not a password is required to view it. Keep track of how your photos are used by controlling sharing, downloads, and more.
Notes:
- Adding a password to your cover page protects your entire album unless someone has a direct link to an inner page.
- Disable SEO in albums with password protection set up to ensure that inner pages of private albums do not appear in search results.
- Password-protected photo albums are not available on the Spaces by Wix app.
To change your album's privacy permissions:
- Go to Photo Albums in your site's dashboard.
- Click Manage Album next to the relevant album.
- Set your album's privacy, permissions and SEO settings:
- Click the drop-down in the General section to expand it.
- Set your album access in the Who can access this album? section:
- Everyone: Anyone with the album URL can view this album.
- Password holders: Visitors need a password to view your photo album. Set your password and language:

on each photo, video and gallery. - Enable the Display toggle to show this album on the Photo Albums page of your main site.
Note: To show it on other pages, go to the Editor. - Enable the SEO toggle to let search engines find your album.
Note: We recommend disabling SEO for password-protected albums, to prevent people finding links to inner pages of your password-protected albums. - Click Save.

next to your photos, allowing visitors to download single photos. Select the image resolution:
