Getting ready…
Your reel is ready.
The video was made on this device and only exists here until you save or share it.
How to make it
- Choose 12 to 30 photos: at least one per month where the face is clear and close to the camera.
- Add them here. The photos sort themselves by the date they were taken.
- Under Captions pick Age and enter the birthday. Ages under two years are shown in months.
- Pick Music box or Warm piano, then Make my reel.
Getting the photos right
- Newborn photos: babies' faces are small and often turned away. If no face is found, open the photo and tap the two eyes; the tool lines it up from your taps.
- Someone holding the baby: the biggest face is picked first, which may be the parent. Tap the photo and tap the baby's face.
- Monthly milestone photos: if you took one every month on the same blanket, use those. They line up beautifully.
- Wrong dates: photos sent over WhatsApp or other messaging apps lose their original date. Set it in the photo's panel.
Keep it private if you prefer: download the video and send it to family directly. Nothing is kept on this site. See the full month-by-month guide.
Questions
How are the month captions worked out?
From the birthday you enter and the date each photo was taken: whole months under two years ("7 months"), then years ("Age 2"). A photo taken before the birthday gets no caption.
Is it safe to use photos of my baby?
The photos never leave your device: they are read, aligned and turned into a video inside your browser tab, and nothing is uploaded or stored by this site. Where the video goes afterwards is up to you.
Can I add music?
Yes. The built-in tracks (Music box, Warm piano, Ambient, Upbeat) are generated on your device, or you can add a song file of your own.
