Memory preservation · For families
The stories
are still there.
Capture them.
Send a private link to whoever knows the stories — a grandparent, an aunt, an old friend. They tap record and speak. You get a searchable, exportable family archive.
No app or account needed for contributors.
Free forever · No credit card required
From shoebox to archive
Three steps. You don't need to be technical. Neither do your contributors.
Upload what you have
Scan a stack of old photos, photograph grandma's recipe box, or pull files off an old drive. Drop them into a batch in Zeuge — drag-and-drop, any image format.
Send a link, not a questionnaire
Choose who knows the story — a parent, an aunt, an old friend. Zeuge generates a private link. They click it, no account required.
Receive structured stories
They tap record and speak what they remember. You receive a full transcript, an AI-extracted summary, and structured metadata — names, dates, places — attached to each photo.
Export as you like
Export your batch as a print-ready photo book, a shareable web gallery, or metadata baked directly into your image files. Your stories stay with your photos, wherever they go.
Your stories travel with your photos
Metadata doesn't stay locked inside Zeuge. Export to whatever tools your family already uses.

Common questions
What families ask before they start.
Do my family members need to create an account?
No. Contributors receive a private invite link. They open it on any phone or computer, see only the photos you assigned them, then tap Record and speak. No sign-up, no app download, no install required.
Is my archive private?
Yes. Every batch has its own private link that only you generate and share. Nothing is publicly indexed. Only people you personally send the link to can see the photos.
What happens if I stay on the free plan?
Free stays free with no time limit and no credit card required to start. You get one archive and full access to the core workflow. Upgrade only when you need more archives, larger batches, or the AI similarity engine.
The window doesn't stay open forever.
The people in those photos are getting older. Start capturing their stories now. It takes minutes to set up — and a lifetime to be grateful you did.
