Coming Soon
These experiences are being built now. We only ever list a feature inside a package once it is ready for your family to use, so here is a look at what is coming.
The Chronicle
Auto-date scanned prints and assemble them into a chronological life narrative, from a shoebox of photos to a timeline.
Smart Photo Search
Find photos by describing them in your own words, like "beach vacation" or "holiday dinner," instead of scrolling.
Photo Restoration
Gently enhance faded colors, reduce noise, and sharpen older or damaged prints so cherished photos look their best.
Tribute Video
Bring photos and timeline moments together into a chronological video memorial to share and revisit.
