How to Create a Picture Album for Free

Ensure that your camera drivers are properly installed on your computer according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Connect your digital camera to your computer using your USB cord, and then follow the on-screen prompts for uploading your photos to your computer.

Select the photos you want to include in your picture album, and take note of the file names so that they are easy to find when it comes time to upload them on the Internet.

Create an account with a photo-hosting site. There are several free sites from which to choose that will offer you the ability to create albums and share them with friends. Take the time to explore your options, and decide which site best serves your needs.

Upload your photos to the photo-hosting site. Most sites have an upload button that you can click on, and then select the photo files you want.

Send an email to your family members and friends, inviting them to view your picture album. Most photo-hosting sites will have you do this through their site, though some sites may provide links to your photos so that you can write an invitation email on your own.
