How Kinship Vault Works

A shared space where your whole family creates scrapbooks together. Each person adds their own pages. One book holds everyone's story.

The Big Picture

No more chasing photos after every event. No more one person doing all the work. Kinship Vault gives your family one private place where everyone contributes their own memories and perspectives.

  • Text — Multiple fonts, colors, captions, and notes
  • Stickers & Tape — Decorative elements that feel handmade
  • Backgrounds — Colors, patterns, or upload your own

FAQ

Common Questions

How is this different from a shared Google Photos album?

Google Photos is great for storing photos, but it's not a scrapbook. Kinship Vault lets each family member design their own pages — adding text, stickers, backgrounds, and layouts. It's about creating, not just dumping photos.

Can grandparents really use this?

Yes! Our editor is designed to be intuitive. Drag photos, tap to add text, choose a background. If they can use Facebook, they can use Kinship Vault. And we're always here to help.

What happens to my photos if I cancel?

You can download all your content at any time. If you cancel a paid plan, you keep access to everything in your free tier limits. We never delete your photos without warning.

How long does printing take?

Books typically ship within 5-7 business days. Delivery time depends on your location — usually 3-7 additional days for US addresses.

Can I order multiple copies of a book?

Absolutely! Perfect for grandparents, aunts, uncles, or anyone who wants their own copy. Each additional copy is discounted.

Is my family's content private?

Completely. Only people you explicitly invite can see your vault. We don't use your photos for advertising or AI training. Your memories are yours.

What if I need help?

Email us at support@kinshipvault.com. We typically respond within 24 hours and we genuinely care about helping families preserve their stories.
