Crayon Press
Their art becomes real books.
About
Crayon Press turns children's artwork into keepsake books without any of it leaving your computer. Photograph the drawings with the phone you already have and drop the photos into a watched folder; the app files each piece by artist and date, keeps every original untouched, and works from copies. Choose the keepers, compose captioned spreads and contact sheets, and a print-ready PDF comes out — take it to any printer, or print it at home. One service book runs about $75 for roughly twenty-five pieces and means mailing the originals away. Crayon Press is $24.99 once, for every book you will ever make, for every artist in the house, with no account, no upload and no telemetry.
