How it works

From your heart
to a private
digital storybook

You do not need to write the whole story yourself or prepare everything perfectly. Tell us who it is for, what you want it to feel like, and what moments matter most. We shape it into a polished interactive story you can send, share, or keep forever.

The simple process

A simple process,
built around your story

01

Choose your package

Start by choosing the package that fits the size the vision of the story you want. Each package gives us a different amount of space as well as features to work with, from a short meaningful keepsake to a fuller memory loom.

02

Tell us what you want to create

You will fill out a short form with the basic direction: who the story is for, what the occasion is, what memories or feelings should be included, and whether you have any special requests. You do not need to write beautifully. A rough explanation is enough.

03

Choose the visual style

Pick the style that best fits the story. For example, something romantic, warm and nostalgic, family-focused, or more emotional and memorial-like. The style gives the story its design, visual mood, colors, and overall feeling.

04

Complete payment

After the form is submitted and accepted, we will email you a PayPal invoice. Once payment is confirmed, we begin preparing your order.

05

Send photos after payment

If you want us to use real photos or provide them as a reference, we will give you instructions after payment. This keeps the order process cleaner and avoids uploading personal images before the order is confirmed. If you do not have photos, that is okay. We can still create visuals based on your story, as long as you describe the people, pets, places, or mood clearly enough.

06

We create your story

We turn your notes, memories, photos, and chosen style into a complete interactive digital storybook. This includes the story structure, page flow, visuals, text, and final presentation.

07

Receive your private link

Your finished Heartfolio is delivered as a private web link. You can open it on a phone, tablet, or computer, and share it with the person it was made for.

What you need to provide

What we need
from you

You do not need to have everything perfectly prepared. The more useful detail you give us, the more personal the final story can feel.

  • Who the story is for

    Tell us who the story is about or who will receive it. This could be a partner, sibling, parent, friend, child, pet, family member, wedding guests, classmates, etc.

  • The occasion or purpose

    Birthday, anniversary, proposal, memorial, apology, celebration, friendship gift, family keepsake, or simply “I want to preserve this story.”

  • The important moments

    Share the memories, milestones, inside jokes, places, emotions, or moments that should be included.

  • The tone

    Romantic, funny, nostalgic, emotional, magical, soft, cinematic, playful, elegant, or anything else that fits.

  • Photos, if you have them

    Photos are helpful, but not required. If you have them, we will collect them after payment. And you can choose if we use the real photos or you prefer them cartoonized (various styles)

  • Visual descriptions, if you do not have photos

    If there are no photos, describe the people, pet, place, or feeling you want represented. The more details the better, like hair color, approximate age and outfit.

You do not need to write beautifully - a rough explanation is enough.

Photos are optional, not mandatory

You can create a story
with or without photos

Real photos can make the story more personal, especially for romantic gifts, family stories, birthdays, and memorials. But they are not required. If you have photos, we can use them as part of the story experience.

If you do not have photos, we can create visuals based on your description. In that case, it helps to describe things like appearance, age, personality, important places, favorite colors, meaningful objects, or the overall mood.

Example without photos

“She had curly blonde hair as a child, loved blue raincoats, and always carried her chocolate brown teddy bear around with her that had a stitch on one of his hands.”

Small details like this help us create a more personal visual direction, even when no original photos are available.

What you receive

What your finished
story includes

A private digital story link

Easy to open and share.

Text, visuals, pacing, and page flow shaped into one complete emotional story.

A selected visual style

The design follows the template or style you chose for the story.

Optional music direction

You can suggest a music mood, or leave it to us to choose the tone.

A final review if needed

For small adjustments, we can review what is realistic depending on the package and delivery timeline.

Timeline

How long
does it take?

Most stories require at least 3–5 business days after payment and after we receive the needed materials.

If you need it sooner, mention that in the form. We cannot guarantee every rush request, but we will let you know what is possible.

The timeline can depend on the package size, how much material you provide, and whether the story needs custom work.

What if I’m not sure yet?

You do not need to have
the perfect idea

Many customers only start with a rough feeling: “I want something romantic,” “I want to make my sister cry in a good way,” “I want to remember our dog,” or “I want a birthday story that feels magical.”

That is enough to begin. The form helps us understand the direction, and if something important is missing, we can ask follow-up questions before creating the final story.

possible result?
