Apps Add or Remove Images for Albums in OneDrive Photos app in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove an image file for an album in the OneDrive Photos app for your account in Windows 11.

OneDrive includes a photos experience included with the OneDrive app on Windows 11. It brings the photo experience you already have on OneDrive web and mobile to the Windows desktop, so your photos feel consistent everywhere you use OneDrive.

In OneDrive Photos you can:

• Browse your OneDrive photos or photos stored on your PC together in the Gallery, a single timeline sorted by the newest photo first.
• Search by what's in your photos, not only by file name. On a Copilot+ PC, search also covers photos stored locally.
• Find photos of specific people in People or filter Gallery by people you've named.
• Revisit highlights from your library in Moments, where OneDrive surfaces collections from your history automatically.
• Create Albums, mark Favorites, and edit photos directly in the photos experience.
• Add local folders and use Windows actions with any photo: set it as your desktop background or lock screen, print it, or open it in File Explorer.

You can organize your images into an album that you can share with friends or family.

You can select images you want to add to a new or existing album, or remove from an album. Removing an image from an album will not delete the image from your gallery.

The OneDrive Photos (Preview) app is rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Experimental, Experimental (26H1), and Experimental (Future Platforms).
