Can Printed Photos Play Videos?

Yes — with AR photo albums. Learn how a printed page can play video when scanned with the Glimp app.

Yes. A printed photo can play a video when it’s part of an AR-enabled product. The paper doesn’t contain a screen — your phone does the playback after it recognizes the printed image.

How Glimp does it

While designing your album or photobook, attach a video to any photo you choose. After printing, scan that page in the Glimp app. The photo “comes alive” and plays the clip you connected — vows, travel footage, a birthday toast, a message from afar.

What it’s great for

  • Wedding albums that include ceremony or reception clips
  • Travel photobooks with moments you can’t capture in a still
  • Gifts that include a personal video message
  • Family albums where kids’ voices and laughter matter as much as the picture

If you’ve ever wished a photo could “play,” that’s exactly what Glimp is built for — without turning your keepsake into another screen that needs charging.
