What it is
Journi turns photos into Photo Books, Calendars and Prints, using an AI designer to arrange selected images into a story-led layout. The AI can organize as many as 1,200 photos into a timeline. Photo Books support text, captions, fonts, themes, colors and maps. Journi Blog records experiences as timelines and maps, and those journals can become books. Journals may be private, restricted or public, with options to share them with collaborators. Journi supports photo access from Google Photos and backups to Google Drive and Dropbox, though images in shared Google Photos albums must first be downloaded to the device library. Journi Print and Journi Blog apps are free; Photo Books and Calendars are one-time purchases from $19.99. The service is available on Android, iOS, macOS and the web. Journi describes normal use as no more than 10 GB of uploaded data or 5,000 images per month. Premium Layflat books are limited to 103 pages and are unavailable in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
