Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Collect what you love, shape it into pages, and publish it as a digital ZINE. Create on mobile or the web, then share it anywhere with a link.
Zinel is a social app for creating, publishing, reading, and collecting digital ZINEs.
The things you love.
A place you want to remember.
The photographs you keep returning to.
Words, sketches, references, and fragments you have collected.
A small world you want someone else to see.
Choose them.
Arrange them.
Give them a sequence.
Turn them into pages.
Combine photos, writing, sketches, screenshots, poetry, and visual ideas to shape your perspective into a digital ZINE of your own.
A collection of everything you love.
A record of a particular place or time.
A story told through photographs.
A personal archive.
A book of poetry, comics, fashion, travel, or experimental work.
There is no single way to make a ZINE.
Zinel is a place to edit your interests and ideas into a book, then publish it for the world to discover.
CREATE YOUR OWN ZINE
Build multi-page digital ZINEs with a freeform canvas editor.
Add photos, text, shapes, sketches, and other visual elements. Move, resize, rotate, layer, and adjust the opacity of anything on the page.
Design every page around the way you want it to look and feel.
Create photo books, visual diaries, poetry collections, comics, moodboards, travel journals, art books, fashion stories, personal collections, and anything else you want to bring together in one book.
PUBLISH IT AS A BOOK
Give your finished ZINE a title, description, category, and tags.
Publish it to a global creative community, keep it private, or save it as a draft until it is ready.
Your work is presented as a digital ZINE to be experienced page by page — as a complete publication with its own sequence, rhythm, and point of view.
SHARE IT WITH A LINK
Every published ZINE can be shared as a browser link.
People can open and read your ZINE even if they do not have the Zinel app.
Add it to your social profile.
Send it directly to someone.
Feature it in your portfolio or on your website.
Your ZINE can travel anywhere a link can.
CREATE ON MOBILE OR THE WEB
Use Zinel on your phone, tablet, or in a web browser.
Start building pages while you are away from your desk, then refine the details on a larger computer screen.
Create in the environment that works for you, without being limited to a single device.
READ ZINES FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Discover independent publications from photographers, artists, writers, designers, poets, and creators around the world.
Explore photography, art, poetry, fiction, comics, fashion, culture, music, and more.
Search by title or tag and find new work, ideas, and perspectives.
A book shaped by someone’s obsession.
A personal record of a memory or place.
A collection devoted to one specific subject.
Read the worlds that cannot be understood through a single image alone.
COLLECT THE ZINES YOU LOVE
Save memorable ZINEs into your own collections.
Keep your collections private, or publish them as a curated shelf of work selected by you.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Faster, smoother, and a few things you asked for.
・ Preview before you publish. Tap the new book icon in the editor to flip through your ZINE exactly as readers will see it —Book, Slide, and Tilt — before you commit.
・ Duplicate a page. Long-press any page thumbnail in the editor to copy it, images and all. Perfect for building on a layout you already love.
・ ZINEs open faster. Opening a ZINE is now noticeably quicker, and pages you've already seen appear instantly.
・ A steadier canvas. Pinching, snapping, and auto-save no longer nudge the editor around — everything stays put while you work.
・ Tabs feel instant. Your profile, feed, and library now show the moment you open them instead of flashing empty first.
・ Little touches. A gentle tap when you like or save, search that updates as you type, and clearer prompts when something can't load.
Plus a batch of reliability fixes — including a bug where an edited ZINE could keep showing its old image. Thanks to everyone sending feedback.
