The big imiji Club Campaign 2026: collecting club photos together and preserving memories

imiji for clubs is a browser-based platform where clubs can collect, view and share their photos and videos in shared, private albums.

Members receive an invitation link and can open the pictures on a phone, tablet or computer. There is no traditional app to install. To upload photos, you register once with your free imiji account. Alternatively, you can join using a Magic Link from your email.

Step by step, many separate photo sources become one shared digital club archive.

In many clubs, photo documentation follows a familiar pattern:

After a celebration, tournament or outing, pictures are shared in different messaging groups. Others remain on members' cameras. Some arrive by email or on USB drives, and many are eventually forgotten altogether.

One dedicated person then tries to bring everything together. They remind members about missing pictures, download files, sort different formats and create folders.

What starts as a small task soon becomes a real test of patience.

imiji shares the work across many shoulders: every invited member can contribute their own perspective. Documenting club life becomes a shared project rather than one person's responsibility.

Volunteering matters, and spare time is usually in short supply.

A shared club album removes the need to gather pictures from different chats, emails and storage devices. Members upload their own photos and actively help document club life.

The person responsible still controls the album, participants and access permissions. The organisational framework stays clear without all the work falling to one person.

A digital service only works if it is easy to access.

That is why imiji runs directly in your browser and works on almost any device. Younger members may reach for their phones, while others prefer a larger screen on a laptop or tablet.

Photos from DSLR, mirrorless or compact cameras can also be uploaded through the web portal. Both spontaneous phone snapshots and the club photographer's high-quality pictures find their place in the shared album.

Official group photos, team pictures and award ceremonies are important. But club life is much more than that:

Preparations before a celebration. The bus journey to an away match. Setting up together. Spontaneous encounters on the sidelines. People helping behind the scenes. And the small moments everyone still remembers fondly years later.

When many members contribute their photos, you get a more varied, personal picture of your club. You preserve not just the big highlights but the stories in between.

Every photo is a small piece of club history.

Over several years, shared albums can grow into a digital club chronicle. Pictures of anniversaries, tournaments, performances, training camps, volunteer projects and honours stay together, rather than needing to be tracked down on personal devices later.

imiji stores photos at their original resolution. You can later use selected pictures for your club newsletter, a chronicle, prints or a yearbook.

Shared memories bring people together.

Members can view, like and comment on pictures. This sparks conversations about what you experienced, often including the little stories and funny anecdotes that would otherwise be forgotten.

A shared photo album extends a club event: the celebration may be over, but members continue enjoying those moments together.

Especially in clubs with different teams, age groups or departments, this can encourage conversation and strengthen the feeling of belonging.

Showing lively club life is important for your public profile too.

Collecting photos systematically creates a valuable resource for your club website, social media posts, press work, sponsor presentations, retrospectives and recruiting new members.

The internal album remains a private space first. You can then select suitable, approved pictures for public use.

Sponsors, supporters and interested people get an authentic view of your club's work, from sporting success to the volunteering behind the scenes.

You can use a shared photo album for occasions such as:

• Club celebrations and anniversaries
• Tournaments, competitions and match days
• Training camps and club outings
• Performances, concerts and shows
• Carnival events and parades
• Holiday camps and youth events
• Volunteer work and community projects
• Members' meetings and honours
• Season reviews and club chronicles

You can create a separate album for each occasion. Your pictures stay organised instead of getting lost on individual members' devices.

You can find a detailed overview of all functions and benefits on our clubs page.

We know that introducing a new digital tool is not always easy for clubs.

Often, one particularly dedicated person tries new solutions, answers questions and encourages other members to join in. These digital pioneers are exactly the people we want to support.
