Enhance Photos and Videos with Polaroid Studio - WebProNews Video

Polaroid has a new online photo and video sharing service that allows users to upload photos and videos and share them all over the world. At CES 2010, WebProNews caught up with Polaroid’s VP of Product, Jessy Hanley, to learn more about the creative service...


With Polaroid Studio, users can completely customize their online experience. They can do this by adjusting the height and width at which the uploaded content is displayed, cropping, changing the colors, adding frames, as well as a variety of other editing options. Once the user finishes editing their photos, they can also put them on products such as mouse pads and coffee mugs.

In addition, the program includes numerous templates that users can use if they wish. There is no storage limit for photos and videos and users can upload as often as they want. Polaroid Studio also has a Facebook application that lets users copy photos from the program directly into the social network.

According to Hanley, Polaroid Studio is based upon user preference. She said the program can be as easy and quick as the user wants it to be, or as hard and creative as the user wants it to be.
