Send us the photos
Most people send us between 180-460 photos per collection but you can send up to 2000 and include short videos too.
You have an ocean of photos. We help you keep the ones that matter.
20 Photos turns photo libraries into smaller, human-sized collections that tell the stories of what you care about.
As a generation, we've never taken so many photos yet we enjoy them less and less.
20 Photos helps make our memories part of our lives again.

What you can expect
Less to look through.
More worth returning to.
More worth returning to.
We do the first curation, you choose what stays, then we polish the final photographs so they’re ready to keep, share or print.
Your photos remain your photos. They’re handled privately and only for the work you ask us to do.
We look for the shape of the story.
Context matters. We’re not simply looking for the technically “best” photographs. We use what you tell us about the people, place and story to understand what belongs.
How 20 Photos works
You send the volume.
We make it manageable.
We make it manageable.
Tell us what matters
A few questions give us the context we need to create a shortlist that is personal to you. We seek out the most meaningful photos, not just the technically best ones.
We do the heavy first curation
We reduce the volume and build a shortlist that matches what you've told us.
You make the final call
You make the final decisions of which photos will make your final collection.
We edit the final photographs
These photos will be lightly edited - cropped, straightened and toned to make a coherent collection that looks beautiful together.
What this looks like in real life
“Getting the first gallery, the 20 photos shortlist, is a magical moment.”
“I feel the photo selection really reflects my questionnaire responses.”
“Selecting from the 20 Photos shortlist was much easier than I thought. In fact, I think I chose my 20 favourites almost straight away.”
“It’s one thing to see your pictures on your phone, but it’s another thing to hold it, feel the weight of the paper in my hands.”
