Step by step
How to make a recap from everyone’s vacation photos
Five steps, and four of them are somebody else uploading. The whole thing takes about ten minutes of your attention, spread over however long the group takes to send their photos.
How it works
Invite friends, everyone uploads, MyWrap generates the recap. In full:
Start the album
Create an album for the trip and give it a name. It takes about thirty seconds and you do not have to upload anything yet.
Send the link
Drop the link in the group chat. Anyone who opens it can add photos straight away. No app to install, no account, no waiting for someone to accept an invite.
Everyone uploads
Friends upload photos together into the same album, from whatever phone they shot on. Each photo stays credited to whoever added it, so you can see the night from six angles instead of one camera roll.
MyWrap generates the recap
When the photos are in, MyWrap builds the recap from the album itself: who was there, what got shot the most, the run of the days. You get a designed, swipeable set of frames you can reorder, edit, or leave exactly as it came out.
Share it back
Send the finished recap to the same group chat, or post it. Anyone can open it in a browser. Wrap+ adds video export so it can go straight to a story.
Do it while the trip is still on
The single thing that makes this work is sending the album link on day one instead of the week after. People upload as they shoot. Ask a month later and you are negotiating with someone’s full storage and their vague intention to get to it.
What to do if people are slow
Generate the recap anyway. It is built from whatever is in the album, and when someone finally adds forty more photos you regenerate it. Waiting for the last person is how these never get made.
The short version
- Contributors need an account
- No. Anyone with the link can add photos.
- Contributors need the app
- No. It runs in a phone browser.
- Works across iPhone and Android
- Yes. It is a web app, so the group does not have to be on one platform.
- Who the recap is built from
- Every photo in the shared album, not just the organiser’s camera roll.
- Cost
- Free to create an album and a recap. Wrap+ is $3.99/mo and adds video export, private recaps, and recaps that never expire.
Questions people actually ask
How do I make a recap video from everyone’s vacation photos?
Create a shared album, send the link to everyone on the trip, let them upload their photos into it, then generate the recap. MyWrap builds it from every photo in the album and can export it as a video.
How long does it take?
Creating the album takes under a minute. Generating the recap takes a few moments once the photos are in. The slow part is always waiting for the group to upload.
Can I edit the recap after it is generated?
Yes. Every frame can be reordered, swapped, retitled, or replaced, and you can regenerate it after more photos arrive.
What if some people never send their photos?
Generate it with what you have and regenerate later. The recap is rebuilt from the album, so late arrivals are not a problem.
What MyWrap is
MyWrap is a shared photo album app that turns a group’s photos into an automatic recap. One person starts an album for a trip, a party, or an event and shares a link. Friends upload photos together, with no app to install and no account needed to contribute. Once the photos are in, MyWrap generates a recap from the album: a designed, swipeable set of frames built from the group’s own photos, which anyone can watch, download, or share as a video.
