Every masterpiece has a story

Remember what they said,
not just what they drew

KidCanvas helps you capture and share the stories behind your children's artwork. Remember what they said, share the moment with family, and keep those memories alive. Free for up to 50 artworks.

Instagram for kids' art—but private, meaningful, and story-first.

Capture the stories behind your kids' art. Share magical moments with family. Because the story matters more than the drawing.

No credit card required
Private & secure
Stories, not just storage

Your kids' artwork is never used for AI training

iOS app (iPhone & iPad) available via request — use our contact form to request a TestFlight invite

Your kid brings home artwork and says "It's a rainbow dinosaur that eats sunshine!"

You think you'll remember. But by next week, the story is forgotten. The artwork becomes just another drawing in a pile.

KidCanvas captures both. The artwork AND the story. Share the moment with grandma. She sees what your child said, not just the drawing. Years later, you remember why it mattered.

Instagram for Kids' Art (But Actually Better)

You know Instagram? It made photos social. But for kids' artwork? You need something different.

Instagram

  • Public feeds, algorithm-driven
  • Photos are everything, captions optional
  • Ads, influencers, noise
  • Optimized for engagement, not meaning
  • Lost in thousands of random photos

KidCanvas

  • Private to your family only — no strangers, no algorithm
  • Stories are required — no story, no upload
  • No ads, ever — just your family, just your memories
  • Built for preserving memories — not maximizing engagement
  • Purpose-built for artwork — never gets lost in photo clutter

The key difference? On Instagram, photos are everything. On KidCanvas, stories are everything.

Because the artwork is just paper. The story is what makes it precious.

The KidCanvas Difference: Stories, Not Just Storage

Other apps treat kids' art like files in a folder. We treat them like memories. Every artwork gets a story, every moment gets captured, and every family member can celebrate together.

Yes! The free plan includes 50 artworks, 1 child, and all core features. No credit card required. You only pay if you need more artworks or multiple children.

What happens to my photos?

Your artwork photos are stored securely in the cloud. You own your data and can export everything anytime. We never share your photos with anyone.
