Sustain
AI family yearbook maker
End-of-year scramble, made easy: turn 12 months of family photos into a hardcover yearbook in an evening.
The family yearbook is one of those projects everyone means to make and almost no one finishes. The photos exist; the time to sort them doesn't.
Sustain treats the year as one story. It segments by month and by event — weekends, holidays, school plays, summer trips — and picks the strongest frames from each cluster. The pacing is even; no month is a 40-page sprawl and no month is missing.
The output is a curated, printed yearbook with everyone in the family appearing roughly in proportion to the year. You can re-run it next December with one upload.
How Sustain works
Upload your year of photos
Drop in everything from your phone, your camera, and your partner's. Google Photos connects natively with a one-click import; iCloud photos can be exported and uploaded the same way. Up to 800 photos per album on the Basic plan, 400 on Free.
AI segments the year
Photos are clustered by date, location, and faces. Vacations form their own chapters, weekends cluster together, and chapter titles can be added for new locations or events.
People grouped so you can verify coverage
Sustain clusters every face it detects into named people. The editor shows who appears on which spreads, so you can rebalance if someone is over- or under-represented.
Print one for every grandparent
Order one or several hardcover copies. Reorder next year without rebuilding from scratch.
What makes the difference
Follows the year in order
The AI clusters photos by date and location, so the book reads in chronological order with location-aware chapter breaks. You can reorder or merge chapters in the editor if a stretch is too dense.
Faces grouped into people
Sustain identifies and clusters every face into named people. The editor surfaces who appears where so you can balance the year manually if one person is over-represented.
Same recipe every year
Once you've made one, the next year takes minutes. Same size, same theme, fresh photos.

The yearbook habit pays off. Year three on your shelf is worth all three Decembers combined.
