A few things are enough to begin
- The remembered person's name; leave unknown birth or death years blank.
- A few photos you are comfortable sharing. Keep the originals locally.
- One specific memory: something they enjoyed, said or did.
- If possible, the photo's year and the people's relationships. Mark uncertain details for review.
You can save a draft before the materials are complete. Invite family to contribute later; you do not have to fill in every section at once.
How might a fragment become a readable memory?
This fictional material illustrates editing. It is not a real user's record or a model performance benchmark.
The original fragment
Grandpa taught me to fold paper boats. I think it was the summer of 1996, at the wooden table by the window. He folded slowly, and I waited beside him.
An edited example for review
When I was little, Grandpa taught me to fold paper boats at the wooden table by the window. He folded slowly while I waited beside him. The family remembers a summer afternoon; the exact year still needs checking.
The boats, table and waiting come from the original memory. An uncertain year remains uncertain. No career, achievement or unprovided family relationship has been invented. See the full memorial example.
Which materials can be used?
- Photos: JPG / PNG, up to 20MB each. High-quality compressed copies are stored by default.
- Text: write directly or import UTF-8 TXT up to 64KB, with a combined limit of 12,000 characters. TXT content is merged into the memories; the original text file is not retained separately.
- PDF: reading is not yet open. The planned limit is 20MB and 20 pages per file; check the upload screen for availability.
- Word documents, audio and video: not currently supported.
Photos alone can make an album. The system will not infer life events from them. Compressed photos are not a replacement for your own backup of important originals.
What should you check after AI organizes the page?
- Names and birth and death years.
- Whether every event is supported by the materials, and whether its place in the timeline is certain.
- Names of relatives and their relationships, including any conflicting recollections.
- Whether photos and text are appropriate to share, including identity documents, addresses and contact details.
Edit the text or remove uncertain events during preview, then save and preview again. Nothing is automatically published without the owner's confirmation. AI editing does not replace the family's fact-checking.
