Your family videos deserve a second life.

Digitize the old camcorder tapes in the closet, or upload a video from the newest phone. Mark the moments that matter, and turn them into movies you can keep private or share with the people you love. Private by default. You choose what, if anything, the world sees.

MyZinky is completely free, no fees, no credit card needed.

Get Started

Recently shared Community videos

Sharing is 100% up to you

The showcase is opt-in, one scene at a time. Everything else stays yours.

Private by default

Your library is yours alone. Nothing appears anywhere public unless you deliberately submit it.

Share clips, or nothing at all

Submit a single scene - never the whole video, and never the rest of your collection. Post with a handle or stay anonymous.

Un-share anytime

Change your mind? Pull a scene out of the showcase with one click, whenever you want. No questions asked.

How it works

1

Upload your videos

Drop in your digitized home videos. We generate thumbnails and even transcribe the audio so it's all searchable.

2

Mark the best scenes

Tag the moments that matter - birthdays, first steps, the funny stuff - so the highlights are easy to find and revisit.

3

Keep them, or share them

Build movies to send to family by private link - or submit a favorite scene to the daily showcase for the world to enjoy.

Free video hosting, the short version

Is MyZinky really free?

Yes. MyZinky is completely free for personal use. There are no fees, no trial period, and no credit card needed to sign up.

What video format should I upload?

Upload an MP4 file using the H.264 video codec with AAC audio. It is the most widely supported format and plays in every browser. MyZinky also accepts .m4v and .mov files that use H.264, and WebM files that use VP8 or VP9.

What are Smart Playlists?

Every person and tag becomes a one-click movie. Click a name on your home page and MyZinky plays every scene with that person, oldest first, so you can watch someone grow up in a single sitting.

When I share a scene, can people see the rest of my video?

No. A shared or public scene plays from its own short clip, up to three minutes long, so viewers cannot scrub into the rest of the video.
