Photo story maker
Choose a sample or add a photo of your own. Answer who, where and when, and why it mattered. The photo turns over and the story is on the back.
Pick a photo. Answer three things.
Turn 1 of 3
That photo can now explain itself.
Three short answers, written on the back. In fifty years they are the difference between a keepsake and a stranger.
Nothing leaves this page. A photo you add and the words you write stay in your browser and are gone when you close the tab. The sample photos are drawings.
About the story maker
Is the photo story maker free?
Yes. It is free, needs no account and has no limit on how many photos you try.
Where does my photo go when I add it?
Nowhere. The photo is displayed from your own device inside the page. It is not uploaded, and it is gone when you close or reload the tab.
Can I save the finished story?
Use "Copy the story" and paste the three answers wherever you keep the photo: a caption field, a note, a card in the album. The page itself does not store anything.
Are the sample photos real?
No. They are drawings, and the example answers are invented to show what a good answer looks like.
