How it works

Pick. Approve. Give.

From the photos on your phone to an album in her hands, in three steps.
  1. A mother on the sofa scrolling through photos on her phone, her toddler leaning on her shoulder

    Step 1

    Pick the photos

    Choose the everyday moments straight from your phone. No account needed, and family can add theirs too.

  2. The album editor on a phone, showing a page of four photos with Edit and Add caption buttons

    Step 2

    Approve the album

    We arrange the pages while your photos upload. Edit the cover and pages, then approve the exact album.

  3. A grandmother smiling as she lifts her new photo album out of its box

    Step 3

    Give it to Grandma

    Add her address and pay. We print the album and ship it straight to her door.

On a plan, a new album follows every month or every 3 months.

From families

Made by families. Loved by grandparents.

“My mom absolutely loved it.”

I made one for my mom with pictures of the grandkids and she called me as soon as it arrived. She kept saying how much she loved having actual photos she could hold instead of looking at them on her phone. Such a sweet gift.

Sarah M.

“Grandma keeps it on her coffee table.”

We live a few states away from my mother-in-law, so she misses a lot of the little everyday moments with the kids. We sent her an album and apparently it hasn’t left her coffee table since it arrived. She shows it to everyone who comes over.

Emily T.

“So much easier than making a photo book myself.”

I’ve wanted to make something like this for my parents for years but never had the time to design a whole photo book. I just uploaded the pictures, moved a few around and was done. Really easy.

Jessica R.

“The everyday pictures were their favorites.”

I almost only included birthdays and holidays, but I added a bunch of random pictures of the kids eating breakfast, playing outside and just being themselves. Those ended up being the photos my parents talked about the most.

Hannah J.

“Finally doing something with all the photos on my phone.”

I have thousands of pictures of my kids just sitting in my camera roll. I loved being able to turn some of them into something my parents can actually hold onto and enjoy.

Our story

It started with my grandparents.

Illustrative image of a family looking through a photo album together on the sofa

Every time I made a photo album for my grandparents, they were overjoyed to open it. When I visited, we sat together and went through it again and again.

Today they have a whole collection. They still call me to say how happy they are to have all our family’s moments to look back on, and how much more connected they feel to all of us.

I built Grandparent Album to bring that feeling to as many families as possible.
