Your own videos
The real clips from your phone, sound and all
A gift that plays
For everyone who was there, and everyone who wasn’t
A free app
On iPhone, iPad and Android
A photo keeps the smile,
the video keeps the laugh
How it works
Four steps, and the last one’s the best bit
Pick your photos and videos
Upload them on our website and choose which photos get a video. Not every page needs one.
We print the book
A hardcover book, in the size and paper you choose.
Point your phone at a photo
Open the free Nokoru app and scan the QR code on the back of the book, so it knows which book you’re holding. Then hold your phone over a photo.
Watch it play
The video you chose for that photo plays on your phone, sound and all. Then turn the page and find the next one.
The app is free on iPhone, iPad and Android. With AirPlay, you can put the video on the telly too.
The book itself
A proper book first
A hardcover with heavyweight pages in gloss or matte, or an A4 layflat that opens completely flat. It should earn its place on the shelf even if nobody ever gets their phone out.
What goes in one
For the bits a photo misses
Giving it to someone?
It gets opened twice: once as a book, then again when the first photo starts to play.

Good to know
What is a video photobook?
A printed photobook with videos behind some of its photos. A Nokoru book is a real hardcover, with no screen in the cover, no battery and no QR codes on the pages. Point the free Nokoru app at one of those photos and its video plays on your phone or tablet.
How does my phone know which video to play?
The QR code on the back of the book tells the app which book it is. Then it recognises each printed photo itself, so there’s no QR code, sticker or marker on the pages.
What do I need to watch the videos?
Just the free Nokoru app. It runs on iPhone and iPad (iOS 15.1 or later) and on Android (version 7 or later). With AirPlay you can also send any video to your TV.
What if I don't have a video for every photo?
That’s fine: you choose which photos get a video. The rest are printed photos, the way photobooks have always been.
Can I build my book on my phone?
Yes. You can do the whole thing on a phone: upload, pair your videos, lay out the pages, choose the size and paper, and order. A computer adds a few extra tools (placing and overlapping photos freely, text on the page, backgrounds and themes), so if you want those, build it at a desk. On your phone now? Use “Email me the link” at the bottom of the home page and we’ll send it over.
Does playback need internet every time?
Yes. The videos stream to the phone when you point it at a photo, so you’ll need Wi-Fi or mobile data. That keeps them in full quality without filling up anyone’s phone. The book itself works perfectly well offline: it’s a book.
What happens when my storage window ends?
Nothing sudden. When you order, you choose how long we keep your videos (3, 5, 10 or 30 years), and we’ll remind you well before the time’s up, so you can extend it. The printed book stays exactly as it is, whatever you decide.
