Published: 26.05.2020

Polaroid-style photos - the new product from Mapi7. Create charming square images with us. Give your photos individuality. And become the owner of unique Polaroid-style photos.

Polaroid photos are instantly recognizable. It is the only format in the world for instant printing of images. A print that you can hold in your hands immediately after pressing the camera's shutter button.

Before the advent of digital photography, Polaroids instantly gained popularity among millions of people.

However, the sudden surge in popularity, as it turned out, did not guarantee a constant presence at the peak of fame. Slower, from the print point of view, digital photos have pushed out this format from the photo production market.

After the decline in popularity of Polaroid, the love for this product led to the creation of many groups that fought for the revival of the format. However, unfortunately, they were unable to regain their former positions.

What's special about a Polaroid photo?

Polaroid is unique. It is currently the only way to capture fleeting reality. And you can do it just once and immediately get a photograph.

Square photos with white borders became the signature of Polaroid. In addition to the non-standard format, the images were distinguished by a special color rendition. Anyone who held a real Polaroid picture in their hands will confirm that the images appeared brighter and the colors more vivid.

Polaroids are not made in studios. These are real, live shots. Looking at a square photo, it's hard to say whose hands it is. A professional with years of experience or a child who was given a Polaroid. Such a shot is always intimate, personal. And because of that, it's somehow close and warm.

Therefore, people remember Polaroids with nostalgia. Some miss the instant snapshot. Others miss not having to visit a photo salon. And mostly, they long for the square cards with spaces for captions.

The younger generation, which has not experienced instant snapshots, is drawn to the unfamiliar format of Polaroid-style photos.
Square photos are popular among Instagram users and followers. Polaroid photos look as if they came straight from a feed or story.
