Keep every drawing. Frame the year.

Photograph the drawings, paintings and crafts your children bring home. Paper Years cuts each one out and gathers the year into one framed collage. There's room on the fridge again, and nothing is lost.

You're on the list. We'll write once, when Paper Years is ready.

Coming soon for iPhone. One email when it's ready, nothing else.

How it works

From the fridge door to the frame

1Snap it

Take a photo of anything they bring home. That's all it takes.

The same butterfly, cut out along its edge

2It cuts itself out

Each piece is kept exactly as they made it, every wobbly line.

3Frame the year

All of the year's art becomes one collage, printed and framed for the wall. A new volume every year, to keep for good.

Not just drawings

Crayon and paint, felt and leaves

Whatever comes home in the school bag has a place in the year.

Private by design

Their art, kept between you

Photos of children deserve care. Here is everything that happens to one.

  1. Faces stay on your phone

    If anyone is in the photo, their face is painted out on your iPhone before anything is sent.

  2. The photo is gone once it's cut

    Our engine keeps it only for the seconds it takes to cut the art out. The cut-outs are cleared within 30 days.

  3. Kept in your own iCloud

    The collection lives on your iPhone and in your iCloud, sorted by year and by child. No ads, no tracking, nothing sold.

They're only little once
