PHOTOGRAPHS THAT TELL A STORY

Put faces with names. Keep the memories with the people.

FM Central gives family photos a meaningful home: right alongside the people in your family tree. Open a person's record to enjoy their photos, add a date or caption, and remember the story behind each photo.

✓
A photo collection for each person

Keep childhood portraits, celebrations and family gatherings connected with the right family member.

✓
One photo, several people

Link a group photograph to everyone who appears in it, while storing only one copy of the image.

✓
Photos stay organized with your family tree

Explore photos by person rather than sorting through one enormous camera roll.

FM Central is built for preserving the family story, not replacing the full-resolution backup of your phone's entire photo library. Keep original photos safely backed up too.

Getting started is easy

Start free. Build something lasting.

No payment information is required for your first 30 days.

1

Apply for your family account

Tell us your proposed family name and contact information. We verify your application, then create your account and begin your trial.

2

Add what matters

Build relationships, attach meaningful photos to people, save documents and dates, and organize your family story.

3

Choose your paid plan

When you're ready, choose $10, $15 or $20 per month based on how many people need logins.

ROOM FOR YOUR FAMILY MEMORIES

10 GB of photo & document storage is included.

Every family account includes the same 10 GB file-storage allowance during the trial and as part of its paid plan. Your photos and PDFs share this allowance; the number of relatives in your database does not.

Included with Private, Family 5 & Family 10

10 GB

That's room for thousands of family photos.

For example, if a photo averages 2–5 MB, 10 GB works out to roughly 2,000–5,000 photos if used only for photos. Actual capacity varies by camera, photo format, resolution, compression and how many PDF documents you add.

Example family storage2 GB used / 10 GB included

One shared allowance per family account—not 10 GB per individual login.

IF YOU NEED MORE SPACE
+$2 / month

for each extra 10 GB

Choose more storage only when you need it. Your family records and existing files stay right where they are.

Included storage10 GB
One storage add-on20 GB total
Two storage add-ons30 GB total

✓ No automatic storage upgrade or surprise add-on charge.

We'll let the family account owner know before storage fills up. If the allowance is reached, existing information remains available, but additional photo and PDF uploads pause until space is freed or more storage is chosen. No photos or documents are deleted automatically just because storage is full.

Your family information matters

What if your free trial ends?

After 30 days without a subscription, every login on the family account automatically becomes read-only. People can still view records they already have permission to see, but they cannot add or change records until the account is activated.

We'll remind the account owner before the trial expires. Subscribing later would restore editing so you can pick up where you left off.

Reactivation window under consideration: six months. The final data-retention and export policy will be published before paid signup opens.

Frequently asked questions

Good questions, simple answers.

Can one person build a large family tree?

Yes. Even on the $10 Private Family plan, you can record thousands of relatives. One login does not mean one family-member record.

Can my family account include different last names?

Yes! It can include your relatives, in-laws, stepfamily and other people you choose to record. You don't need a separate plan for each surname.

Do the five people in Family 5 need to live in one household?

No. The plan simply allows five individual logins, including the account owner, for the same family database.

Will I be charged when my 30-day trial ends?

No. No card is required for the trial. A paid subscription starts only after you choose a plan and authorize payment.

Does read-only give everyone access to my private notes?

No. Read-only pauses editing. It does not expand anyone's permission to view notes, documents or records that were private before.

Will my information be deleted on day 31?

No. The proposed experience keeps existing information available read-only. We are considering a six-month reactivation window, with the final retention and export policy to be confirmed before launch.

Is the 10 GB storage allowance included on the $10 Private plan?

Yes. All three family plans include 10 GB of shared file storage for photographs and PDF documents at no added storage charge. The 30-day trial includes the same allowance.

How many photographs fit in 10 GB?

It depends on the size of your photos. At an average of 2–5 MB each, approximately 2,000–5,000 photos could fit if storage were used only for photographs. PDFs also count toward your 10 GB, so your actual photo count will vary.

Can the same photograph appear under several relatives?

Yes. A group photo can be connected to each person pictured without having to upload duplicate copies of the same file.

Will extra storage be charged automatically?

No. Each extra 10 GB costs $2 per month and requires the family account owner to choose and authorize the add-on. We will show storage use and warn you before you run out of room.

What happens if I reach my file-storage allowance?

You can keep viewing your existing permitted family records and photos. Additional photo and PDF uploads pause until you make space or choose more storage. Nothing is automatically deleted merely because storage is full.

Can I pay annually?

Annual subscription options are planned; rates have not yet been finalized.

Your family has a story worth keeping.

Bring together generations of family history, meaningful photographs and everyday information in one place.
