Pinkas Studio

Pinkas Studio turns material already in the archive into things a family can watch, share, print, or use at a gathering—without rebuilding the archive for each project.

What lives in Studio

  • Photo Stories identify people and details while keeping evidence review separate from the clean viewing experience.
  • Recording Studio helps review recordings and confirmed transcripts.
  • Slideshow Studio arranges selected family media into a private video output.
  • Mosaic, Invitation, and Logo tools create visual family artifacts from approved material.

Start from the archive

Choose archive material first, then start a project. A Studio project refers back to source people and media. Generated images, PDFs, and videos are outputs; they do not replace the archive originals.

Review before making

Review names, visibility, consent, and captions before rendering. A beautiful output can still reveal something private if the source selection was careless.

Access and output allowances

Pinkas Family and Pinkas Archive include Studio access; Pinkas Start and Pinkas Complete do not. Studio includes photo stories and recording review. Optional video, slideshow, invitation, and logo tools still require the corresponding feature to be enabled. A purchase does not enable a disabled tool.

Your plan determines the available tools, storage, and shared generated-output allowance. The allowance is for creating supported outputs, not downloading the same file again. Current calendar PDFs do not consume it.

The plan does not include finished-film services, automatic transcription, AI generation, physical printing, shipping, or human production services.

Download and share

Output download links are private and time-limited. Once a family downloads or shares a file elsewhere, that copy is outside Pinkas permissions. Share it with the same care as an exported archive.
