Sustain
AI baby photo album maker
From the hospital room to the first birthday — turn an iPhone full of baby photos into a hardcover keepsake without sorting a single folder.
New parents take thousands of photos in the first year, and very few make it into anything you can hand a grandparent. The intent is there; the time isn't.
Sustain reads the whole roll and structures it for you. It groups by month, surfaces the milestones — first smile, first roll, first steps — and removes the near-duplicates that pile up when a single moment turns into 40 frames. The album reads like a year, not a phone roll.
You can title chapters by month, add a few words on each spread, and order a hardcover. Or just download the digital version and share a private link with family.
How Sustain works
Upload from your phone
Most parents shoot on a phone. Connect Google Photos for a one-click import; iCloud users can export their year of photos and upload them the same way. Up to 800 photos per album on the Basic plan, 400 on Free.
AI groups by month and milestone
Photos are sorted by date, faces, and scene. Hospital photos cluster together; outdoor first walks form their own spread; birthday cake gets its own chapter.
Pages designed around the people
Sustain clusters photos by face into people you can name in the editor. Use the people view to see who appears where and adjust if anyone is over- or under-represented.
Print, share, or both
Order a printed hardcover for the grandparents and share the digital album with everyone else via a private link.
What makes the difference
Skips the duplicates, keeps the moment
A first smile is photographed 30 times. The AI scores each frame for sharpness and picks the strongest one, trimming the near-duplicates.
A full year in one upload
You don't need to do it in monthly batches. Drop the year in and let the AI segment by date. You can always re-run later with new photos.
Captions in your tone, not a stock voice
Captions like "First time meeting grandma — three weeks old" are generated from photo content and metadata, then easy to rewrite in the editor.
Frequently asked questions
The first year happens once. Don't lose it to a 12,000-photo camera roll.
