iCloud: View a shared photo stream on the web

View a shared photo stream on the web

As the owner of a shared photo stream, you can choose to have your shared photo stream posted to a public URL. You might want to do this so that people who don’t have an iCloud account can view the photo stream. Go to Create a shared photo stream to learn how.

When invitees access the photo stream online, they don’t have to log in to see the photos. As a result, they can view and download the photos only, and not add comments to or “like” specific images.
