Questions

Everything, answered

How the scanning works, what happens to your videos, delivery, gifts — all of it. Can’t find yours? Email [email protected] and a person will reply.

Scanning & playback

How does the scanning work?

Each printed photo is recognised by the Nokoru app itself — the image is the link. There are no QR codes or markers on the page, so the book stays clean and timeless.

What do I need to scan a book?

Just the free Nokoru app on iPhone, iPad or Android. With AirPlay you can also play any moment on your TV, in original resolution.

Does playback need internet every time?

No. Once you’ve scanned a page, that moment caches to your phone so it plays instantly next time — handy for showing the book around the kitchen table or on a flight with no signal.

Building your book

Can I build my book on my phone?

Not yet. Books are built on a computer at build.nokoru.app — choosing photos and pairing videos deserves a big screen. Your phone’s job is scanning the finished pages. On your phone now? Use the “email me the link” box at the bottom of the home page and we’ll send it for when you’re at a desk.

What if I don't have a video for every photo?

That’s fine. Pages without a paired video are simply beautiful printed photographs. You choose which moments come alive.

How long does delivery take?

Books are printed and bound in Europe and delivered free. Most orders are printed within two working days and typically arrive within a week or two, depending on the courier. Delivery times are estimates rather than guarantees — if your book hasn’t arrived within 30 days (and the delivery address you gave us was correct), you can cancel for a full refund. And if anything arrives with a printing fault, we reprint your book free.

Sharing & gifts

Can I share the book with family?

Yes. Once your book is printed, anyone you invite can scan its pages with the app and watch the moments play.

Do gift recipients need to buy anything?

No. The app is free — invite them from your account and every page plays for them too. Worth doing before you wrap it.

Your moments & storage

Do my moments stay available — even if Nokoru goes away?

Yes, and you stay in control of it. Every book includes a storage window for its moments — you pick 3, 5, 10 or 30 years when you order — and you can extend that storage at any time, even years after the book arrives, for a small fee. You’ll never be forced to let a moment go. Your videos are kept in full resolution, and you can download your originals from the app whenever you like to keep, copy, and back up elsewhere.

If Nokoru ever stopped trading, we’re committed to giving every customer at least 90 days’ notice and a one-tap export of all their moments before anything is switched off. Your printed book never expires — it’s a real, finished object that needs nothing from us to sit on your shelf. The app simply adds the moving layer back on top.

What happens when my storage window ends?

Nothing sudden, and nothing lost. We’ll remind you well in advance, and extending is a tap away whenever you’re ready. If you’d rather not extend, you can download your original videos first — and your printed book carries on exactly as it is, with its pages always scannable for any moments still stored.

Ready when you are

Pick your photos and the moments behind them — we’ll print the rest.
