Phota provides comprehensive tools for archiving and annotating your images into attractive, interactive photo albums. It is an ideal application for people with digital cameras, who wish to immediately enjoy their uploaded photos, without spending much time and effort in creating and formatting albums. Images can be added very quickly with a Mass Load feature, optionally from IPTC and/or EXIF image data. A versatile Page Designer screen contains intuitive controls for building and formatting album pages. Audio and video sequences can also be incorporated into albums, and display sequences can be captured to video files. A handy Photo Index provides a quick scan through all of the photos in an album, with options to display thumbnail or full-screen images, show photo descriptive information or skip to a selected page. Photo Search can be used to find all photos containing a particular string of text within their descriptions. Album pages or individual photos can be viewed as a slide show, with various options.

The Gallery feature transforms the display into 3D perspectives, with album photos exhibited along the walls of Gallery rooms, constructed in various styles. Explore can be activated to automatically stroll through Galleries, pausing to admire each photo in turn. A screensaver version of Phota is also included.

Album descriptive information, including Title, Author, Category, Time Period and Comments, can optionally be displayed on the first page of a Phota album. Intro Audio and Intro Video clips can optionally accompany the Album Description. An album can contain virtually an unlimited number of pages. Photos are automatically sized within a page to most efficiently use the available screen area, based on the current page layout and display options.

Phota Album Appearance can be customized to suit individual tastes, including the overall interface style, the text font type, size and color, and color or pattern of the background that surrounds album image displays. The Phota Menu and Photo Info buttons can be removed to maximize screen space for displaying images. A Popup Menu, accessed by right-clicking the mouse, includes all of the same options as the Phota Menu, and provides an alternative means of accessing these functions when the menu has been removed. Titles can optionally be displayed beneath each photo.
