We've redesigned the Ovi Share website from top to bottom to make your media sharing experience better. The new design brings to life photos and videos from you and your friends and makes it easier to find the features you need most.
The Fishbowl
Media glides by straight from your activity feed on the home page. Embed this into your own web site to share your experience.
What's New?
We’ve improved many features based on your feedback. The changes include:
- Better Sharing - You can now share photos and videos individually without having to create an album first. Plus, comments on an item show to all viewers.
- Higher Quality Images - A new photo transcoding platform produces higher quality images. The larger size on the media page shows more detail.
Improved Media Page - The media page has more room for your photos and videos--see with whom they are shared, the comments and the capture time and place.- Album Page - Channels have been renamed to Albums and the most recently used albums display on the home page for quick access. Plus, now you can change the number of thumbnails shown on one page.
- Easier Experience - Tasks such as sharing, commenting and organizing are now easier to find and use with simpler menus and in-place actions.
Quality Upgrade for Existing Photos
Because of the large number of photos stored in Ovi, it will take a few days for us to upgrade all media to the new quality and sizes. In this time you will see some issues with the rotation, location data, and others. This will be fixed automatically, and all your photos will look better.
Other Features
As part of this transformation, we've disabled some features. We realize that some of your favorite features are missing, but don't worry, we are working to improve them. Also, Ovi Share now only allows uploading image and video file types. With support for over 100 file types we work with the most popular media formats used for capturing and sharing your life. To upload other file types you can now use the Ovi Files service.
Enjoy the new site and if you have any feedback just use our Contact Us page.

UPDATE: We are aware of the problem with existing embedded slideshows. We are working on a fix to release right away and will let you know as soon as it is released. Existing embedded media will automatically be fixed so you don't have to make any changes on your sites.
