Dedicated Polaroid Originals app

Working in conjunction with the Polaroid Lab is the dedicated Polaroid Originals app, which will format your mobile photos for printing on the lab as well as enable some more creative options for your prints.

A Collage mode lets you split up your digital file in up to nine different frames, which can then be seamlessly printed onto multiple sheets of film for a unique look. Additionally, reaping the benefits of the digital capture, an Augmented Reality tool lets you assign video playback to recognized still images for dynamic multimedia playback. Compiled through the app, this tool layers still images with motion, which can be seen when viewing a finished print using the camera of select smartphones.

Polaroid Photo Lab | Classic Design with Retro Looks

The Polaroid Lab’s industrial design eschews basic black and angled edges for a design that rounds out the sides and is mostly finished in white plastic. The rainbow Polaroid logo is prominent on the front. The pedestal, which houses the optics, is black to minimize internal reflections.
