How to Make a 2026 Year in Review Photo Album

Your phone probably holds thousands of photos from this year. In ten years, you'll want maybe fifty of them. A year-in-review album is how you find those fifty, while you still remember why they mattered.

Why a yearly album

• It makes the camera roll manageable. One album a year, instead of "one day I'll sort them all".
• It becomes a shelf of years. Kids love pulling out "the year I was 5".
• It's the perfect Christmas or New Year gift for parents and grandparents.

Choosing the photos, month by month

The easiest method is a simple quota:

1. Open your gallery, one month at a time. Most phones let you scroll by month.
2. Pick 4–6 photos per month. One big moment, a couple of people shots, one ordinary day.
3. Favourite them (the heart icon) so you can find them later.
4. Fill gaps. Quiet month? One good photo is enough.

That gives you 50–70 photos, a comfortable album. More help in how to choose photos for an album and how many photos to put in an album.

What makes a year album good

• Faces over views. In ten years, people matter more than landscapes.
• The ordinary moments. Breakfast, the school run, the new haircut.
• Everyone in the family, including whoever usually takes the photos.
• A strong opening and closing photo. New Year's Day and Christmas make natural bookends.
• A simple title: "2026" or "Our Year, 2026".
