Forever Photo

How it works

Write it today. Emily opens it on her graduation morning.

You answer a few questions about the person and the day. Forever Photo helps you shape the words, keeps the keepsake locked, and emails it on the morning you chose.

Start your first keepsake

Three keepsakes free. No card needed. About ten minutes.

Pick the person and the occasion

Choose who the keepsake is for and the day it marks: a birthday, a wedding, a first baby, a graduation, or an ordinary Tuesday you’d like to make better. These are the same pictures you tap in the interview.

What do you hope Emily remembers about the summers at the lake?

Answer a few questions

Forever Photo asks about the person, your memories and what you want to say, then turns your answers into a first draft. Every word stays yours to change.

  • Write a message, add up to ten photographs, or record a video of up to two minutes
  • Would rather write it yourself? Skip the questions and type straight in

Choose the morning it arrives

Pick a date next month, next year, or up to 20 years ahead on a paid plan. The keepsake is locked on your own phone or computer before it’s saved, so nobody at Forever Photo can read it.

  • Change the words or the date any time before it goes
  • We check in with you from time to time, and a person you choose confirms the day if you can't

From Grandma, for your graduation

Emily,

You used to drag that yellow stool to the counter so you could crack the eggs yourself. Half of them missed the bowl. Today you walked across a stage, and I’d bet you still don’t wait to be asked.

Emily opens it on the day

On the morning you chose, Emily gets an email with a link. She never signs up for anything and never pays. Your message, photographs or video are waiting, exactly as you left them.

What makes us different

A small family business, and our own family uses it

Forever Photo is owned and run by one family, not an investment fund. We built it for the people we love and wanted other families to have the same thing, at a price that doesn’t renew.

One payment, never a subscription

Three keepsakes are free. A paid plan is paid once, with no yearly bill and a full refund within 30 days.

Locked before it leaves your device

Your words and pictures are sealed on your own phone or computer. Forever Photo stores a copy nobody here can open.

Kept even if we close

If Forever Photo ever stops, you get 90 days' notice and a download of every keepsake you made.

We use it for our own family

Mark's graduation keepsake for his kids is written and scheduled. It opens on 3 September 2027.

What people ask before they start

What if I am not here when the day comes?
We check in with you from time to time. If the day ever comes, we ask the person you chose. Nothing is delivered until they confirm it.
I am not good with computers.
Forever Photo asks you one question at a time, in large type, and saves your answer as you go. Close the laptop and your message is waiting exactly where you left it.
