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.

Albums contain links to the content in your Photostream. This allows you to add a single item to multiple albums without creating duplicates in your account.

These steps are for using Flickr on a web browser. For information on using Flickr on a mobile device, please find more information here: Create and manage albums in the Flickr app.
