THE CAMERA ROLL → THE COFFEE TABLE
01 / MAKE A KEEPSAKE

Each page gets a QR code. Open your camera, scan it, and you’re right back there.

  • Add YouTube links or import a playlist
  • Make it yours with photos, titles, and stories
  • Download a PDF of your pages for printing

ONE PHOTO. A WHOLE LITTLE STORY.
02 / GIVE A LITTLE MEMORY

A photo.
With a plot twist.

A birthday wish. A first step. A Tuesday you loved. Pair a photo with a video and turn it into a scan-to-watch card.

Pop it on the fridge, tuck it in a gift, or send it to someone who’d love to be there.

  • Add your photo, video link, and a little note
  • Choose your layout and colors
  • Download a printable PDF or high-resolution PNG

I film today?

Find an idea that fits your people, your place, and the time you have. Then let a little shot list get you started.

  • Filter by age, setting, and available time
  • Save favorites and take your shot list with you

NO BIG PRODUCTION.

A little goes
a long way.

Start with what you have.
Make something you’ll come back to.

01

Pick your little project.

A book to keep, a card to give, or an idea to film. There’s no wrong place to start.

02

Put your people in it.

Your photos. Your home movies. Your words. That’s the part that makes it matter.

03

Keep it in real life.

Print it, gift it, or save it for later. Give the good stuff somewhere to live.

A FEW HELPFUL THINGS

Before
you begin.

Are the tools really free?

Yes. You can make and download your projects without an account, a subscription, or installing an app. Printing your finished keepsake is up to you.

Where do my photos and projects go?

Your photos and project drafts are processed and saved in this browser. Use “Save project” in a tool to download a backup before switching devices or clearing your browser data. YouTube imports connect to YouTube to retrieve your video links and titles.

Do you host my videos?

No. The video book uses your existing YouTube links, and the photo cards link to a video you already host. QR codes point directly to those links, so keep the original video available. Anyone with an unlisted video’s link or QR code can watch it.

Can I print these at home?

Yes. Download your PDF and print at actual size, or use a print service. Before ordering a bound book, check that your printer accepts the page size and margins. Always scan a test print before making a batch.

A LITTLE REMINDER

They don’t have to be perfect.
They just have to be yours.
