Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mail photos to multiple recipients?
Yes! At this time, a plan (e.g. 5 or 10 photos) cannot be split routed to multiple recipients. For example, you can't split the 25 photo plan between 5 recipients. However, you can subscribe multiple people to a 5-photo plan under one login.

If you want to send slightly different photos to multiple people, you can create separate accounts (each gets its own unique NanaGram email and phone number, if applicable) under one login.

If you're using a phone-number-powered account (US and Canada only) you can get $1 off additional recipient as these accounts are powered by the same phone number.
What will my loved one get?
We ship classic printed photos on Kodak and Fuji paper, perfect for framing, albums, and the fridge. We print using a Lustre finish, which is just between matte and glossy. The prints are 4"x6" and 4"x4" (for square images). Your loved one doesn't need any technology. They just receive a plain, white envelope each month with your photos inside. We include a free cover photo which lists out the names and, phone numbers, and mailing addresses of everyone on the account. (We hope to spark more letters and packages in the mail from your loved one.)
What if a family member sends in a photo I don't like?
You have total control over which photos go to print on our website. We send a text message reminder 3 days before print with a reminder to review.
What happens if I send more than 10 photos?
If and when you go over your account's limit, we still save every photo sent in. We ship the first 10 photos (or whatever your account limit) and the remaining photos roll over to next month. You can also get bonus photos in our referral program or upgrade your account in a jiffy.
I'm a grandparent. Can I buy an account to give to my grandkids?
Totally. We offer gift cards, which you can pass on to your grandkids. They'll handle setting up the account.
What if I don't want to text photos?
We also support email. After signing up, we'll give you a unique NanaGram email to send your photos.
How do captions work?
When you send text along with your photo, we'll layer it on top of the photo as a caption. See an example. On our website, you'll have the option to move caption to the top or bottom of your photos. When emailing photos, set the caption in the subject line.
Is your service like a photo book for grandparents?
Right now we offer classic, 4x6 and 4x4 (square) printed photos only. While we don't offer a binded photo book, our photos can be inserted into a photo album to make for an awesome photo book for grandparents. Check out our guide on photo gifts for grandparents which includes of favorite photo album from Amazon which pairs well with NanaGram.
Do you ship internationally?
We ship to nearly every country around the globe. If you don't see your country listed, please reach out and we'll do what we can to support you.
We guarantee they'll love it or we'll give you a full refund.

Our Story

I’m Alex Cook and together with my brother Andy, we built NanaGram as a gift to our late grandfather Tirrell Cook (Grandpa to us) for his 94th birthday.

Celebrating Grandpa Cook's 94th birthday

When Grandpa stopped driving at 93, I started making more of an effort to visit. It started with errands to the grocery store and bank and quickly morphed into adventures with Grandpa. After breakfast or errands, Grandpa would detour me all around Boston’s South Shore to talk history, geneology and marvel at everything, big and small. As he grew older, the blood thinning medicine made it too dangerous to shave and the arthritis in his hands made it too hard to hold a beard trimmer. I became his "barber" — hands-down the most rewarding title of my lifetime.

Grandpa and Grandma Cook lived in their home together for over 60 years. Over the years, my siblings and I would visit our grandparents as often as possible. Grandma and Grandpa loved going through videos and photos on our phones. We tried countless times to set them up with computers, iPads, and other screens but nothing stuck. If we had the time, sometimes we’d send a batch of photos to print a local 1-hour photo but it was challenging to be consistent. So often when we’d go home, our photos and videos went with us.

Grandpa loved lobster rolls.

At Grandpa Cook’s 94th birthday, I bought a couple twin live lobsters (Grandpa loved his lobster rolls) thinking there’s no way any of my siblings could top my gift. Sure enough, my brother Andy unveiled a prototype for a text-to-print service he started building the night before. When Andy asked me to help him finish building it, I instantly said "Hell yes!" We decided to name the product NanaGram, after our our mom (Nana) and our grandmother: An ode to the telegram and her career in the communication industry as a life telephone operator. A few weeks later we blew up on Reddit. Now thousands of NanaGrammers are delivering photos to hundreds of grandparents across the the world every month. Our regular photo deliveries spark an increase in phone calls and visits, bringing families closer together. In the words of Grandpa Cook, “Isn’t that wonderful!”
