Why We Love Moments
As people are confined to their homes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they are missing out on important life events, such as spring picture day, graduation ceremonies, birthday parties, vacations, and more. So, we wanted to create a tool to help recreate those missed moments in the comfort of your own home.
Along the way of adjusting to this new normal, we discover new hobbies and develop new skills, host virtual parties and plan staycations, and never stop celebrating life in some way, however small, every day. Taking photos helps keep us in the moment and stay thoughtful about the precious things that happen in life. That’s why Moments makes it easy for users to get creative and have fun with the memories and celebrations they want to share so that we can find togetherness and stay connected during these unprecedented times.
How To Use Moments
Using Moments to edit your photos is fast, easy, and fun! This four-step process is simple enough so that both kids and adults can enjoy replacing the background of a photo with a custom background and adding fun stickers and text. Here’s how to make unforgettable edits to unforgettable moments:
Step 1: Download The Shutterfly App
Our app is fast to download, convenient to use, and comes with great perks. Once downloaded, you’ll find Moments immediately on the homepage as well as special app-only offers such as unlimited free prints and a free monthly photo book. Find it on the app store and download to get started.
Step 2: Take A Photo Or Choose One
You have the option to either take a photo directly through the app or pick from one of your favorite pictures already on your device.
Step 3: Add Backgrounds, Stickers, And Text
After you take or upload a photo, the app will then automatically remove your original background and replace it with one of our preset backgrounds of your choice. With many designs to choose from you can replace your background for something bold and shiny or something more rustic with nature.
Once your background is chosen, you have the freedom to decorate your photo with all the available stickers and text to your heart’s content. The best part is that you don’t need any specific skills or professional software to create an image perfectly the way you want.
Step 4: Share Or Create Products
The last step is to share your beautifully created moments with your loved ones! You can also invite your classmates, your family members, or your friends to create a collage that will be treasured forever.
Additionally, you have the option to turn your photos into personalized gifts, cards, home décor, and photo books. Fill your home or a loved one’s home with favorite shared memories that tell stories of important milestones and life journeys.
