How Kids Create Works
Kids Create turns your child's drawings into keepsakes you'll actually keep — with their own voice telling the story. Here's the whole thing, start to finish, in about a minute.
- 1
Snap or draw the artwork
Photograph a drawing your child made on paper, or let them draw something new right in the app — either way it becomes a picture you can keep.
- 2
Add your child's voice
Tap record and let them tell the story behind it — what it is, who's in it, why the dragon is purple. One spoken message is all a keepsake needs.
- 3
Save it to a private gallery
Each picture and its voice are saved together in your own private gallery. Only you can see it — nothing is shared unless you choose to share it.
- 4
Share with family
Send a voice card link to grandparents and family. They open it anywhere and hear your child's voice — no app and no account needed on their end.

Make a voice card right now: upload a drawing (or draw a new one), record a short message, and share the link. No account needed to open it.
Why it's worth a minute
- Their voice changes every year — a voice card keeps the one they have right now
- The paper fades and gets recycled; the digitized picture and story don't
- Grandparents far away get to hear the story, not just see the drawing
- It takes about a minute, start to finish
Frequently asked questions
Is Kids Create free?
Yes. The Kids Create app is free on iOS and Android, and you can make and send a voice card from the web for free without installing anything.
Do grandparents need the app to see a voice card?
No. A voice card opens as a link in any browser, so family can see the drawing and hear your child's voice with no app and no account.
Who can see my child's artwork?
Only you. Your saved artwork stays in your private gallery and is never shared with anyone unless you decide to share a specific piece or card.
What do I need to get started?
Just a phone or computer. Snap a photo of an existing drawing (or draw in the app), record a short voice note, and you have a keepsake to save and share.
Can I use art my child drew on paper?
Yes — that's the most common way. Take a photo of the paper drawing, then add the voice note to the photo. You can also tidy up a photo of a drawing first with our free Magic Art Scanner.
