The shoebox, the old albums, the drawer full of prints, the phone with 1,000 photos. PIle of Pics will sort them, scan them and hand you back a family album you’ll actually use.
Do as much or as little as you like. We’ll work it out around your budget.
Booking for November visits
Got a pile of pics?
Every face keeps its name.
Somewhere in that box is a photo where nobody remembers who’s on the left. Your mother does. Sit with her, point, and ask. Pile of Pics writes her answer on the photo and records her telling the story, so your kids will know who that is, and hear her say so.
Find any photo the way you remember it
A name, a place, a year. Prints and phone photos together, every one labeled, in albums your family would make.
Three ways to start
Pick the one that fits. Mix them later.
Just my phone photos
The quickest start. They copy straight to your drive at the visit, with their dates and places.
Start with your phone ›A box of prints
Sort them with the kit, or we sort together. I scan at your table; your originals never leave the house.
Both
One album for all of it. Start with whichever is easier and add the other later.
What you get
Every photo labeled, by Pile of Pics
Names, places, dates and occasions, written in. We do the bulk of it; you add or change anything later, with a tap.
Your family’s voices
The stories, recorded in their own voices, kept with the photo they’re about, with the words written out beside them.
All of it organized, on a drive you own
Folders the way your family thinks: by place, occasion and decade, in the order you choose. Every file named with its date, place and who’s in it. One click copies it all to any computer.
Your family album
Open it on any computer. Search it, hear it, add to it. See the album
Scrapbooks
Pick photos, add your words and your voice, print it or play it. Make one for your sister.
Yours to keep
No membership, nothing expires, nothing to renew. Another copy for a family member is $45.
Three families, free
I’m new, and I’m saying so. Three families get the starting fee and up to 500 photos free, in return for honest feedback. These are starting prices; the first three families will help set final pricing.
“My son doesn’t know some of the family in our photos. That’s why I built this.”
