Summer without a schedule
The beach, the campsite, the paddling pool. Days measured in ice creams.
← All storiesWhen the world was a little bigger
Back to scraped knees.And endless summers.
The garden seemed enormous. The holidays lasted forever. Revisit a photograph from the days when everything was a first.

A moment worth lingering in
You remember how it felt, even when the details have faded.
A paddling pool in the garden. Sand in your shoes. A birthday cake with more candles than you could count. Childhood lives in little details, and the album is full of them.
Let a photo move and spend another moment in that scene. A little breeze in the grass, the sound of the water, the familiar shape of a place that used to feel so big.
Try it with a sibling or an old friend. You may remember completely different things about the same afternoon. That is part of what makes looking back together so good.
What’s in your album?01 02 03
A few places to begin.
The big little occasions
A first bike, a birthday party, the day you wore your favourite outfit everywhere.
Nothing special at all
Playing in the garden or sitting on the kitchen floor. Sometimes those are the photos that matter most.
From album to movement
All photo guides ↗A little help with your first photograph.
Scanning photographs for an animation project
Make an archive copy first, then a separate image suited to the video you want to create.
How to animate an old photograph
A practical route from the photograph in your album to a short video you can keep.
Keeping digital memories beyond your account
Save the source, the story and the downloaded video so your collection remains understandable on your own devices.
Start with what you already have
One photo.A little closer.
No editing timeline. No settings to master. Just a photograph you want to spend more time with.
Find your photograph
Choose a clear digital photo or a scan from the family album. A face, a familiar street, a day by the sea.
Set the feeling
Add a title and a little direction if you like. We create gentle animation and ambient sound together.
Make room for the moment
Watch it in your private collection. Download the video to keep it or share it yourself with someone who remembers.
Before you open the album
A few things to know.
Can I use a photograph of myself as a child?
Yes. Choose a photo you have permission to use. If other children are pictured, consider their privacy before downloading and sharing the result.
Can it animate a garden or beach as well as the people?
The whole image is the starting point, so the surrounding scene can be part of the animation. A simple suggestion about the atmosphere can help guide the result.
Can I combine all my childhood photos into one video?
Each memory starts from one photo. Choose 6 seconds using 1 from your allowance or 10 seconds for 2. You can download individual videos and arrange them together yourself using your preferred video editor.
The garden is still there in the picture.
Find a photo from when you were small. Let yourself linger a little.
