Easy Photo Collection
Secure Upload Links
Share a link with your congregation and families upload their own photos from any phone or computer. No app to download, no account to create. See our step-by-step guide to creating a directory.
Works on Any Device
Families can snap a photo on their phone and upload it right away. The process takes less than two minutes.
No Accounts Needed
Families don't need usernames or passwords. Just open the link, upload a photo, and they're done.
Photo Approval Queue
Review Before Publishing
Every photo submission lands in your approval queue. Review each one before it appears in the directory. Nothing goes live without your say-so.
Request New Photos
If a photo is blurry or doesn't meet your standards, request a new one directly from the approval queue. Families get notified automatically.
Staff Controls Quality
Your directory coordinators and staff maintain full control over what appears in the directory. Approve, reject, or request replacements.
Online Directory with Privacy Controls
Public Access
Share a public link anyone can view. Great for welcoming visitors and helping newcomers learn names before their first visit.
Private with OTP Verification
Restrict access to verified church members. Members enter their email and receive a one-time code to view the directory. No passwords to remember. Learn more in our church directory privacy guide.
Staff-Only Access
Keep the directory visible only to logged-in staff and admins. Ideal for churches that prefer to share printed copies only.
Print-Ready PDF Export
Professional Layout
Generate a beautifully formatted PDF directory ready for your local printer. Family photos, names, and contact details arranged in a clean, professional layout. Compare formats in our online vs. printed directory guide.
Welcome Packets
Print copies for welcome packets, new member orientation, or the church office. Download as many copies as you need.
For Seniors and Small Groups
Printed directories are perfect for members who prefer paper, senior members, and small-group leaders who want a quick reference.
Family Intake Forms
Collect Family Info Directly
Members submit their own family details through a simple online form. Names, contact information, and family members — all in one place.
Members Update Their Own Details
When families move or their information changes, they can submit updates themselves. Less work for your office staff, more accurate information for everyone.
Multi-Admin Collaboration
Add Staff and Volunteers
Invite staff members and volunteers as admins so they can help manage the directory. Share the workload with your team.
Shared Management
Multiple people can review photos, update family information, and manage the directory at the same time. No more bottlenecks.
Import & Export
CSV Bulk Import

Export Your Data
Your data belongs to your church. Export family information and directory data whenever you need it.
