Can I move my Tinybeans photos to another app?

Yes, but a full export needs Tinybeans+. You request it on the Tinybeans website and get one download link per month of content, each valid for 5 days. The steps are above.

Is there a free Tinybeans alternative without ads?

23snaps is free and has no ads on any plan. iCloud Shared Albums are free and ad-free if your family uses iPhones. Aanvi has no ads but is paid after a 14-day trial.

Does Tinybeans own Qeepsake?

Yes. Tinybeans Group bought Qeepsake's assets in November 2025, so moving from one to the other keeps you with the same company.

Alternatives

Tinybeans alternatives

Tinybeans works, and plenty of families have used it for years. The usual reasons people look elsewhere are the 20-upload cap on the free plan, ads shown to grandparents, and the price of removing both.

Why people switch

20 uploads a month on the free plan: A busy week with a newborn uses that up. After that it's $7.99 a month or $74.99 a year for unlimited. Source
Ads in front of your family: Free journals show ads to you and to everyone following, in the app, on the website and in the update emails. Source
The privacy policy: It says Tinybeans "sells" or "shares" some personal information with advertising partners, as California law defines those words. Source

4. iCloud Shared Albums
Best for: Families where everyone already has an iPhone.
The Shared Albums feature in Apple's Photos app. Free, built into every iPhone, and how a lot of grandparents already get their baby photos.

We make Aanvi, so weigh that when you read this. Everything about the other apps comes from their own websites, help centers, privacy policies and app store listings, checked on November 1, 2026, with US prices. Each fact links to its source.

Taking your photos out of Tinybeans

A full export needs an active Tinybeans+ subscription. If you were on the free plan and your older memories were archived after hitting 5GB, Tinybeans lets you export those for free from the More tab.

Sign in at tinybeans.com on a computer.
Click your name in the top right, then open Journal details.
Scroll to the export option at the bottom and choose a date range. Tinybeans suggests no more than three years per request.
Watch your inbox. You get one link for each month of content, and every link expires after 5 days, so download them the same week.
