Everyone's photos and videos. One cinematic film. Ready in minutes.

Anything. Vacation recaps, birthday highlights, a tribute for someone you love, or just a collection of favorite moments. Tell us what it's for and the video shapes itself around it.

You choose the length when the timeline is built. Quick Highlights runs up to about 5 minutes, Standard up to about 10 and Comprehensive up to about 15. Each length is a target, so a film can come out a little shorter. Quick Highlights is on every plan. Standard comes with the Standard, Premium and Tribute plans. Comprehensive comes with the Premium and Tribute plans. Every plan is free to unlock during the beta.

Yes. Only you and the people you invite can open your project, and finished videos can only be reached through links you control. We don't sell your photos or use them for anything except making your video. Google and Amazon process them for us as service providers, and Google's terms don't let it train its models on them. The privacy policy has the details.

Yes, for the sorting, not the pictures. Google's Gemini looks at each photo and clip to work out what's in it, when it was taken and which shots are strongest, and it helps choose, order and title them. Nothing is generated: every frame in your film is a photo or clip someone uploaded. Faces are only matched to names in tributes, and only after you agree. How it's built explains the whole process.

Connect your Google account and pick the photos and videos you want in Google's own picker. They are copied straight across, with no downloading and re-uploading.

Those are quick automatic recaps, usually a minute or two long, made from one person's own photo library, with a few options to tweak. Kindred Reels is built for the whole story: everyone who was there adds their photos and videos with a link, and the film is built from all of them, in the order things happened (in chapters on the Standard and Comprehensive lengths), and can run up to about 15 minutes. On the Tribute plan, family can record voice memories that play over the photos. You can change anything before it's made, from which photos are in and their order to the music and the look, and you keep the video file.

Yes. Upload videos alongside your photos. Their best moments are cut into clips and woven into the timeline with them.

Photos are put in order by the date they were taken, read from each file. In a tribute, a photo with no date it can trust, such as a scanned print from long before digital cameras, is dated from the picture itself: faces, clothing and settings. Other projects do that only when many of their photos lack a camera date. Then the photos are grouped into chapters, or one chapter for Quick Highlights.

Each chapter gets a song that fits its mood from our music library, and you can swap any of them or upload your own. Photos change on the beat, except in a chapter with a voice recording, where each photo stays up for the same time. When a voice recording plays, the music drops down under it and comes back up afterwards.

Building the timeline usually takes one to three minutes once your photos are in. Making the video takes longer for a longer film: a film of a few minutes is ready in a few minutes, and a 10 to 15 minute film at 1080p takes about 7 to 11 minutes. 4K takes longer, up to about twenty minutes for a long film. You'll get an email when your film is ready.

You have several options. Download the video file directly, share a private watch link that anyone can open in their browser, generate a QR code to display at events, or upload directly to YouTube from inside the app. The video file is yours to keep forever.
