Picture Book: Photos for Kids

Only Your Photos & Videos

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Turn waiting time into memory time: your child explores your photos and videos – no feed, no ads, and no buttons to delete or share. At a restaurant, in the car or in a waiting room, a quiet moment can go a long way. Picture Book gives your child something familiar to explore: your own photos and videos. YOU CHOOSE WHAT THEY SEE Picture Book shows media that is already on your device. No feed, no recommendations, no ads and no swiping into unfamiliar content. The free version shows your newest 150 photos and videos. With Premium you open your whole library – or narrow it down to a single album, so your child sees only the photos and videos you picked for them. YOUR LIBRARY STAYS SAFE Picture Book only looks. It cannot delete, edit, share or move your photos and videos. There are no buttons for any of that – even for small, curious hands. This protection is always included for free. FREE • View your newest 150 photos and videos full screen and swipe through them – Live Photos play by themselves • Switch between all media, photos and videos • Protect settings with a parent passcode, with Face ID or Touch ID as an optional extra layer • Set a time limit from 5 to 120 minutes; the app locks when time is up • Use the illustrated iOS Guided Access guide to keep the device in Picture Book • Works on iPhone and iPad PREMIUM: PAY ONCE, KEEP FOREVER For a one-time purchase, unlock the features that make Picture Book your own family album. No subscription, no recurring costs, with Family Sharing included. • Open your whole library – without the 150-item limit • Choose one album – your child sees only the photos and videos you deliberately allow • Show favourites only – everything you marked with the heart in the Photos app; quicker to set up than a dedicated album • Hide screenshots – chats, receipts and screen recordings stay out of sight • Hide albums – media from the albums you pick never appear, such as the album where a messaging app stores the pictures you receive • Start a slideshow – photos advance automatically; set the timing from 3 to 10 seconds while videos play to the end • Shuffle the order – so even a small album feels fresh • Mute videos – perfect for travel, waiting rooms and quiet evenings • Repeat videos or let them stop at the end – you decide whether a video starts over SET UP AN ALBUM IN MINUTES Create an album in Apple's Photos app with the photos and videos your child may see. Then select that album in Picture Book. The app imports, copies and moves nothing – it simply shows what is already there. YOUR MEMORIES STAY PRIVATE No account, no sign-in, no tracking and no ads. Picture Book works without an internet connection and collects no data. Your photos stay in the Photos app, right where they belong. Picture Book is not endless distraction. It is a little family album for meaningful memories – made for looking, talking and turning the next page together.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Live Photos now play by themselves: swipe to one in full screen and it runs once – no press and hold. Plus two new filters for Premium: show favourites only, for which the heart from the Photos app is all it takes, and hide whole albums – such as the one where your messaging app stores incoming pictures, because iOS doesn't recognise a screenshot someone sends you as one. Videos can now play once instead of looping. Fixed: when the filters hid everything, the view kept loading instead of saying so.
