Everything You Need to Know About Interactive Photos

A complete guide to interactive photos: what they are, how to create them, and how Glimp albums turn prints into living memories.

Interactive photos sit between print and video. You still get a beautiful physical page — and you can unlock motion, sound, and story when you scan it.

Core ideas

  • The print remains the hero object
  • Video (or other media) is linked to specific images
  • A phone app handles recognition and playback

How to create them with Glimp

  1. Choose a Glimp Album or Photobook
  2. Upload photos and attach videos to selected pages
  3. Arrange layouts and preview your book
  4. Order, wait for delivery, then scan with the Glimp app

Tips for a great result

  • Curate — fewer video pages, stronger emotional impact
  • Use clear photos that scan reliably
  • Write short captions so the page works even before scanning
  • Gift the book closed — let someone discover the AR moment themselves
