Cover
Good questions
Before you begin
How many photos do I need?
Just one clear photo of your child is enough to start. You can add more photos — of your child, parents, grandparents and pets — whenever you like, and tag who is in each one.
Can the whole family appear in the story?
Yes. In the Family & Pets step you can add parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters and pets as co-stars, with their own photos.
Do I get to see it before I pay?
Always. You see every page and picture, can edit the words and redraw any picture, and only pay once you are happy.
What does it cost and how is it delivered?
The digital storybook is €19.99; audio narration is a €9.99 add-on. Pro books, where you write the story, are €34.99 (€44.98 with audio). You get screen, print-shop and home-print PDFs. Your book is usually ready within minutes; if anything needs our attention, we check it within 24 hours.
Where does the €2 donation go?
€2 from every book — any edition, digital or print — goes to children's charities. We are finalising which charities we support and will name them here.
Will you print a real hardcover?
Not yet — every book is digital for now, so you can read it online, print it at home or take the print-shop file to any printer. We're putting a proper hardcover together; leave your email in the form just above and we'll tell you the moment it's ready.
What happens to the photos I upload?
Photos are prepared on your own device first, which removes hidden location and camera data. They're stored privately and processed by our AI services to make your book, with customer-photo viewing links that expire after 60 seconds. Read our privacy policy for the full picture.
Your family stays yours
Your child’s photo promise
Special memories deserve thoughtful protection. Your family’s original photos are not public samples. We use them to create your book, with necessary AI processing and limited authorised support access.
Location data removed
Photos are processed on your device to remove embedded GPS, camera and date metadata before upload.
Only your books, only your photos
Account-level access rules keep each family's stories separate. Private photo viewing links expire after 60 seconds.
Original photos removed after 30 days
Our daily cleanup removes original uploads once 30 days have passed after delivery, or after the last edit to a book that was never bought. Book illustrations and the screen PDF are retained separately.
Their life. Their family. Their adventure.
