Three steps to a birthday surprise

  1. 1

    Gather the photos

    Look in phone galleries, family albums and shared folders. JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC (iPhone) all work.

  2. 2

    Put them in order

    Drag the photos from youngest to oldest. The video follows the order you set.

  3. 3

    Download the video

    Pay once, download the MP4 and play it between the cake and the toast.

For every kind of birthday

18th and 21st

From newborn to adult in under a minute.

30th, 40th, 50th

A decade-by-decade story that makes everyone laugh at the old haircuts.

60th, 80th, 90th

A life told in a handful of photographs, often watched on repeat.

A group gift

Everyone sends one photo, one person puts them in order and makes the video.

Pro tip: do not skip the early years

The contrast with the first photo is what makes the video land. Use five photos for a quick video, 12 for a 40th or 50th, and 16 to 24 for a big milestone where each decade deserves its own moment.

Pay once. Keep it.

Questions

What is the best age for a growing up video?

Any age. It suits a first birthday as well as a 40th or 90th, as long as you have photos through the years.

How many photos for a milestone birthday?

Between 2 and 24. Twelve suits a 40th or 50th; 16 to 24 suits a big milestone.

Can several people give photos?

Yes. Ask friends and family for one photo each, then one person puts them in order and makes the video.

Can I play it at the party?

Yes. You get an MP4 that plays on laptops, phones and screens that play video files.

What if a transition looks wrong?

Redo just that one. Starter includes 2 redos and larger plans 3 to 5.
