Best Ways to Make AR Photos

Practical ways to create AR photos that people actually keep — from album design tips to choosing which photos get video.

The best AR photos aren’t the flashiest — they’re the ones people reopen. Here’s how to make interactive pages that feel intentional, not gimmicky.

1. Start with a keepsake format

Single prints get lost. A hardcover album or photobook gives your AR moments a home. Choose the square Glimp Album for celebrations, or the A4 Photobook for travel stories.

2. Attach video where emotion peaks

You don’t need video on every page. Pick the photos that hide a story: the first dance, the viewpoint at sunset, the surprise proposal. Short clips (a few seconds to a minute) land better than long films.

3. Design for scanning

  • Prefer clear, well-lit photos with distinct detail
  • Avoid extremely blurry or near-identical page spreads
  • Leave enough contrast so the camera can lock onto the image

4. Preview before you print

Glimp lets you arrange pages, refine captions, and attach videos before you pay. Use that freedom — the best AR albums feel curated, not rushed.
