Your photos on the web

Windows Live Photos makes photo sharing fast and simple. 25GB of free storage means you can upload more and edit less, then show them off with the great new photo slideshow experience.

Instant updates on Hotmail, Messenger and home.live.com mean that you’ll never miss out on your friend’s photos.
