What Photo9 actually does

Five steps, none of which feel like work. The hard parts, sorting, cropping, laying out, happen on our side.

Forward, don't fuss

Send photos to one WhatsApp number, straight from your camera roll or a group chat. No app to download, no account to set up.

Designed in seconds

Our AI sorts, crops and lays out your book the moment your photos land. The first draft is ready in seconds.

Yours to shape

Open the link and rearrange pages, swap photos, add captions and pick the right size directly in your browser.

Low-res? We fix it

No stress about low-quality photos. Our AI upscales them automatically before printing.

Printed and posted

Premium, FSC-certified paper printed locally and delivered to your door. Up to 200 pages, layflat or classic.

Memory-keeping, finally effortless.

The vacation problem, solved

Everyone's best photos are stuck in a whastapp group.

You get home, the trip lives on in 300 photos, and within a month nobody scrolls back. Photo9 catches those photos before they disappear and turns them into something you can hold with no effort.

    Tap the link it sends back. Tweak the design until it feels right, choose your format, and we print and ship it.

The easiest photo book I've ever created. We sent our trip photos via WhatsApp, made a few tweaks, and that was it. The finished book looks far better than anything I've made myself.

An early tester who sent us a holiday group chat's worth of photos and got a finished book back in a few days.

Panoramas across the spine

Layflat photobook

Rigid pages that open completely flat, so a single photo can run uninterrupted across two pages. The format for landscapes and crowds.

A stack of finished classic photobooks

Up to 200 pages

Classic photobook

The everyday keepsake. Hard or soft cover, silk or matt paper, and twice the page count of most services for the years worth remembering.

Free 3D model

Spin your finished book in 3D before it prints, then keep the interactive model. Every backer above the book tier gets it at no cost.

The people behind Photo9

We're Media Rex Alliance, a small studio in Amsterdam that has spent years on the unglamorous part of printing: colour pipelines, paper sourcing, and a network of local presses that ship faster with a lighter footprint.

Photo9 is the front door to all of it. We built the WhatsApp flow because the best photos already live in your chats, not in another app you'll forget to open. Backing the campaign funds the first production run and puts the tools to shape it in your hands.
