Chapter one
Where we come from
Hajurama kept one photo of her wedding in a biscuit tin. She would take it out on winter afternoons and tell the story again, a little differently every time.
Eleven days old. Everyone wanted a turn.

Why print
Your camera rollis not an album.
You take hundreds of photos. The good ones get lost between screenshots and blurry shots.
A book keeps the best ones safe, on a shelf where the whole family can see them.
Phones get replaced. Books get passed down.

What we do for you: We add this for you on every edge-to-edge photo.

Questions, answered.
What is Soouvenir?
Soouvenir turns the photos on your phone into printed photobooks and magazines. You make your book in your browser, and we print it on good paper and bring it to your door.
What can I make?
Photobooks, magazines, wedding albums, baby books, travel books, recipe books and small books for your business. They all use the same simple editor.
Do I need design skills or an app?
No. Soouvenir works in your browser on a phone or computer, so there is nothing to install. Pick a ready-made layout and your photos fall into place. You can change anything, but you never have to.
Can I use photos straight from my phone?
Yes. Upload them from your phone or computer and we keep them at full quality. If a photo is too small to print well, we tell you before you order.
Where do you deliver?
We are starting in Kathmandu Valley. More of Nepal comes next, and people on the waitlist hear first when we reach their area.
How long does delivery take?
Every book is printed, bound and checked by hand, so it takes a few days. You will see your delivery date before you pay.
How much does a book cost?
The price depends on the size, the number of pages, the paper and the cover. We will share prices with everyone on the waitlist before we open.
Are my photos private?
Yes. Your photos are only used to make and print your book. We never sell them, share them or use them to train AI, and you can delete them whenever you like.
What if something is wrong with my book?
Tell us and we will make it right. A real person checks every book before it leaves us, but if anything slips through, we want to know.
When can I start?
We are letting people in a few at a time. Join the waitlist and we will email you as soon as it is your turn.
Your storydeserves paper.
Weddings, birthdays, first years, festivals, friends. Whatever your story is, it deserves a book you can hold.
