What makes a scrapbook different from a photo album
An album is pictures in order. A scrapbook is pictures plus context: the caption that explains why the blurry photo matters, the scanned card from the hospital, the note about what they said. The mixing of media is the point, and it is exactly what camera rolls and social feeds are bad at.
A baby scrapbook app should therefore let one entry hold several kinds of thing at once, and organise entries into pages you can flick through.
How Everkeep works as a scrapbook
- Mixed-media pages. Each memory can contain up to ten photos or videos, a voice recording and a written story with a title.
- Paper keepsakes. Photograph the bracelet, the card, the first drawing. On-device text scanning reads handwritten or printed text so it becomes searchable.
- Chapters as pages. The Archive groups memories into month chapters with your baby’s age. Flip through it like a book.
- Tags for themes. Tag by theme (“firsts”, “grandparents”, “holidays”) to pull cross-cutting collections together.
- Export. Everkeep Pro turns the scrapbook into a PDF with a cover and chapters, and a memory movie for the video and audio.
Everkeep keeps the layout calm and consistent rather than offering stickers and templates. If you want a book that will still look good in 2046, that is the right trade.
