From camera roll to album in a few minutes

Your desk

When you sign in, your albums lie on an old oak desk, with the whole collection in a strip along the bottom. Pick one and it slides onto the desk; its cover lifts a little now and then, inviting you to open it.

Create an album

Choose one of thirty covers and give it a title. The title is typeset on the cover in a style that suits the material: gold foil on leather, a pasted label on linen, crayon on construction paper.

Upload everything at once

Drag in a whole folder of photos and videos. Each file uploads directly to secure storage with its own progress bar, then we read the date it was taken and prepare sizes for every screen.

Pages that lay themselves out

Our layout engine looks at the shape of every photo and fills each page without awkward gaps, a bit like a careful hand placing prints. Drag photos into a new order, start a new page anywhere, or add a page of text.

Write on the photos

Each polaroid has a caption strip in blue ballpoint. Tap a photo to lift it out of the book, then press the flip button to write the memory on its back.

Share it

Create a link for the family and another for friends, each with its own rules: likes, comments, downloads, a password, an expiry date. Your insights show what everyone looked at most.
