Create, delete, or edit an album on Flickr

You can easily create albums of photos & videos that have been uploaded to your account. The albums can be sets of photos & videos that are grouped by date, topic, event, or any other criteria you choose.

All photos organized into albums are also available in the Photostream.  This allows you to add a single item to multiple albums without uploading duplicates to your account.
