Memory Murals — Save to Your Family Archive

Right-click any image on any website to save it to your Memory Murals family archive with one click.

**Save photos and videos from anywhere on the web — straight to your private family archive.** You're scrolling Facebook and your cousin just posted that photo of your grandmother at Thanksgiving 1998 you'd forgotten existed. A relative emails a Google Drive link to digitized 8mm home movies from the '70s. Your sister's personal blog has a photo of your dad you've never seen. Your aunt's iCloud shared album finally loaded and there's a shot of your kid's first steps someone else caught that you didn't. Those photos deserve to live somewhere besides scattered across twenty apps, emails, and accounts. The Memory Murals Chrome extension lets you capture them — in one click — straight to your private family archive. How it works 1. Right-click any image or video** on any website → "Save to Memory Murals" appears in the right-click menu 2. Click it** → the photo uploads straight into your private archive 3. That's it** — tap the memory later in the Memory Murals app to add a title, a story, family tags, or a voice note It takes under five seconds, and you never have to download, rename, and re-upload photos again. What you can do with the extension • Save any image on any website** with a single right-click • Save videos too** — personal site clips, family-uploaded videos, archival footage • Pick multiple photos from one page** using the bulk image picker — great for sweeping through a cousin's Facebook album, a school's yearbook archive, or a shared iCloud album • Save now, add details later** with the "Save now — edit in app" button — gets the photo onto your timeline in one click so you can come back to add title, tags, and a voice note when you have a minute (voice works better in the main app anyway) • Save as a Memory** (with the story attached) or **Save to Media Library** (quick dump) — whichever the photo deserves Works on every site your family photos actually live - Facebook — grab the photos your cousin posted of the family reunion - Google Photos — when a relative shares an album link and you want your own copy - Instagram public posts — screenshots of a nephew's graduation, a niece's first recital - iCloud Photos shared albums — the birthday party Aunt Sarah organized - Flickr, Google Drive, Dropbox — any cloud storage with shared or public photos - Personal blogs, genealogy sites, newspaper archives, obituary pages - Digitization service sites — Legacybox, ScanCafe, iMemories portals - School yearbook archives, church directories, sports team pages If the image loads in Chrome, the extension can save it to Memory Murals. Two ways to save **Save as a Memory** — the photo becomes a full entry on your family timeline with a title, date, story, family tags, and voice notes. This is where a scattered photo becomes a real family moment with the context future generations will need to understand what they're looking at. **Save to Media Library** — quick-save the photo to your media library without a full memory entry. Attach it to a memory later, use it as reference material, or batch-capture from a shared album now and sort them in the main app later. Why the context matters — why Memory Murals exists A photo without context becomes anonymous in ten years. A file called `IMG_2847.jpg` buried in a folder nobody opens is basically lost — even if it's technically "saved." Your grandchildren won't know who's in it, when it was taken, or why it mattered. Memory Murals is different because every photo you save can hold: - A story** — typed or recorded as a voice note. The app transcribes voice notes automatically with AI so the words are searchable forever - A date** — when the moment actually happened, not just when you saved the file - Family tags** — who's in the photo, who was there, who's related to whom - A category** — trip, holiday, milestone, birthday, everyday moment - Family perspectives** — everyone you invite can add their own view of the same memory, so a single photo becomes a conversation across generations The extension captures the photo. The main app captures the story. Together they build something that actually survives. Voice notes that turn photos into stories Typing is slow, especially for older relatives. Memory Murals' signature feature is voice recording with AI transcription — press one button, tell the story in your own words, and it's preserved forever (plus written out so anyone can search it later). The extension's job is getting the photo onto your timeline in one click. Then, in the app, you can use your voice to finish the story — no keyboard required. Privacy — what happens to your photos Everything you save goes to your **private Firebase Storage bucket**. Only you and the family members you've explicitly invited can see it. No analytics on the photos. No selling data to third parties. No AI training on your memories. We collect the bare minimum: - Your login email (to sign you in) - Your Firebase authentication token (stored locally on your device, refreshed automatically) - The image and video files **you choose** to save That's it. We don't read, track, or store your browsing history. We don't run analytics on the pages you visit. The content script only activates when you click the extension's "Pick images from this page" button — otherwise it's a dormant message listener that does literally nothing.

Who this is for - Adult children of aging parents** scrambling to preserve voicemails, photos, and stories while there's still time - New parents** collecting every first-word video, first-step snapshot, and daycare art project across a dozen camera rolls and cloud accounts - Grandparents** wanting one clean place to keep the stories their grandchildren will want someday - Family genealogists** pulling together decades of scattered photos into one coherent archive - Anyone who's ever thought "I know I saved that photo somewhere…"** and couldn't find it when it mattered Frequently asked questions Does it work on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp? Facebook and public Instagram posts: yes. WhatsApp Web: yes for media messages you can see in the chat. Private Instagram Stories and private DMs: the image has to actually be visible in your browser window for the extension to see it. What if the image is behind a login wall? As long as you can see the image in Chrome, the extension can save it. The extension doesn't need any special access — it just downloads what your browser already rendered. So if you're logged in to a site and the image is visible, it'll save. Can I save a whole album at once? Yes. Click the extension icon, choose "Pick images from this page," and the full-page overlay shows every photo on the current page. Click the ones you want, save them all as one memory. Will this save a photo at full resolution? The extension saves whatever resolution the source page serves. Most social sites serve compressed versions in feed view — click through to the full-size version in a lightbox first if quality matters (which it does for precious family photos). Can I save videos? Yes. Right-click any HTML video element on a page and choose "Save to Memory Murals." Video support varies by site — streaming sites with DRM won't work, but personal videos, small clips, and embedded family videos save cleanly. Does it work on mobile? The Chrome extension is desktop-only. On mobile, use the main Memory Murals app — it has share-sheet integration so you can save photos directly from any app on your phone (Android). How does this compare to just downloading photos and uploading them? It's about four steps shorter. No download, no saved-image file naming, no opening Memory Murals, no uploading. Right-click, click, done. And because it goes straight to your archive with the page URL as provenance, you have a record of where the photo came from if you ever need to trace it. Is my data safe if Memory Murals goes out of business? Your data is stored in standard Firebase Storage in your own account space. We provide full export tools in the app so you can download your entire archive as a zip file whenever you want. ### Support Questions, feedback, or bug reports?
