For someone who shines

A star made of photos on dark green, with the name Margriet above it. Framed on a classroom wall under a garland of paper stars, above a desk with sunflowers and the children’s drawings and cards.

Fill a big star with their photos and tell them they’re one.

Some moments have no number. A diploma, a first job, a brave year, a coach the whole team loves: fill a big star with their photos and tell them they’re one.

Some moments come without candles or anniversaries. The exams are passed. The first job offer is in. A hard year is behind them. A favourite teacher is retiring. On days like that, flowers feel like too little and a gift card feels cold. With Memorento you fill a big star with the photos of that one person, with their name above it, like Margriet’s star. Congratulations that stay on the wall.

Who do you make a star for?

A star made of photos on dark green, with the name Margriet above it. The same artwork framed, held in two hands.

A star says what we don’t always say out loud: you’re one. That’s why it fits all the moments that don’t come with a standard present:

  • GraduationFrom the first day of school to the diploma, in one star above the desk in their new room.
  • A big stepA first job, a first home, a move abroad: the photos of everything before it come along.
  • A brave yearFor someone who recovered, kept going or dared something big. No speeches needed; the photos say it.
  • A goodbye or a thank-youFor the coach, the teacher or the colleague who’s leaving: the team’s photos in one star, with a thank-you underneath.

The party: the star on the big screen

Made with AI

Every package comes with the Immersive video: a film in which the photos pass by one by one and come together as the star at the end. Put it on the TV or the projector at the graduation party or the leaving drinks and the whole room watches: the baby photos, the first school trip, the first day at work.

One to five minutes, in Full HD or 4K. When the lights come back on, the guest of honour has something to take home: the poster.

How to make the star on your Mac

The sample artwork, a star made of photos on dark green, with the name Margriet above it, on a laptop screen.

No collecting, no dragging. Memorento finds the photos for you, on your own Mac. Your photos aren’t uploaded and there’s no account to create.

  • Choose the person

    Choose who it’s for and the app finds their photos in your Photos library. For a team, choose an album.

  • Choose the star

    Within minutes six designs appear, with the photos already in place.

  • Finish it

    Put the name on top and a line underneath, choose the background and swap photos until it’s right. As often as you like, free.

With everyone’s photos

The best photos of a graduate are often on their friends’ phones, and the best ones of a coach on the parents’ phones. That’s why every package comes with upload links. People pick photos on their phone, the photos are encrypted before they leave it, and nobody needs an app or an account.

From research

Recipients want a gift with sentimental value more often than givers give one. Givers play it safe with something that matches their taste; your own photos are pure sentimental value.

People who spend money on others end up happier than those who spend it on themselves. So this gift makes two people happy.

Questions about a star photo poster

What’s a personal graduation gift?

Something that shows how far they’ve come. A star filled with their photos, from the first day of school to the diploma, with their name above it, is personal and stays on the wall. With the Immersive video you have something for the party too.

Can I make a word or a number instead of a star?

Yes. The app makes a number of up to four digits, like 18 or 2026, a word of up to five letters, like PROUD or YOU, or a shape: a star, a heart or a Christmas tree.

Can teammates or classmates add photos?

Yes. Every package comes with upload links. They pick photos on their phone, the photos are encrypted before they leave it, and they don’t need an app or an account.

How soon do I get the poster?

The digital artwork and the Immersive video are yours the moment you buy. We deliver printed and framed posters within the Netherlands for now; before you pay, the app shows the price including delivery and the day it arrives.

Tell them they shine

Download the free app on your Mac, choose the star and see their photos fall into place within minutes. You only pay when you want to keep it.
