A photograph holds the moment still.
Nokoru lets it move again.
How it works
Four steps. One lasting thing.
Choose the moments
Pick your photos and the short videos behind them on our website.
We print the book
Heavyweight paper, a proper hardcover, printed and bound in Europe — made to be handed down.
Scan a page
Point the free app at any page. No codes, no stickers — nothing on it but the photo.
Watch it move
The photo recognises itself and plays the moment it came from — moving, breathing, present again.
The free Nokoru app scans on iPhone, iPad and Android — and with AirPlay, a page can play on your telly in original resolution.
The book itself
A real book, before any magic.
Heavyweight pages in gloss or matte, a proper hardcover, and photographs that stay photographs. It has to be worth keeping even if you never scan a page. Then you scan one.
Nothing on the page but the photo.
What goes in one
Every book holds a different life.
Made to be given.
A Nokoru book unwraps twice — once as an album, once when the first page moves.
Invite them in the app, and every page plays for them too.
The books
One book, made your way.
Every book is a 22-page hardcover with 5 videos included. Choose the size, the paper, and how long the videos stay. Each video is a printed photo with its short clip behind it — scan the page and it plays.

Good to know
How does the scanning work?
Each printed photo is recognised by the Nokoru app itself — the image is the link. There are no QR codes or markers on the page, so the book stays clean and timeless.
What do I need to scan a book?
Just the free Nokoru app on iPhone, iPad or Android. With AirPlay you can also play any moment on your TV, in original resolution.
What if I don't have a video for every photo?
That’s fine. Pages without a paired video are simply beautiful printed photographs. You choose which moments come alive.
Can I build my book on my phone?
Yes. Our website works on a phone — upload, pair your videos, arrange the pages, choose size and paper, and order, all without opening a laptop. A bigger screen simply unlocks more: free placement and overlapping photos, text on the page, backgrounds and themes — so for the fullest set of tools, we’d build at a desk.
Does playback need internet every time?
Yes. Your videos live in your Nokoru library and stream to the phone when you scan a page, so playback needs a connection — Wi-Fi or mobile data is fine. That’s what keeps every video in full resolution without filling up anyone’s phone. The printed book itself needs nothing: the pages are always the pages, and the moving layer comes back the moment you’re online again.
What happens when my storage window ends?
Nothing sudden. Every book comes with a storage window for its videos — you pick 3, 5, 10 or 30 years when you order — and we’ll remind you well before it ends, with extending a tap away whenever you’re ready. Your printed book carries on exactly as it is either way: the pages are always the pages, and they stay scannable for every video still stored.
