From Pixels to Paper
The Beginning
Shapify started with a simple observation: we take thousands of photos, yet most of them never leave our phones. They sit in cloud storage, occasionally scrolled past, rarely printed, and almost never truly appreciated.
We wanted to change that. Not by creating another photo printing service, but by reimagining what a printed image could be.
The Breakthrough
When we discovered the potential of AI-generated heightmaps, everything clicked. We could take any image and transform it into something that existed in three dimensions - not as a flat print, but as a sculptural object with depth and texture.
A notebook seemed like the perfect canvas. Something you use every day, carry with you, and form a connection with. Your image wouldn't just hang on a wall - it would become part of your daily life.
Today
Now, anyone can turn their favourite photo into a stunning 3D notebook cover in minutes. Our AI handles the complex work of generating heightmaps and optimising for print, while you focus on what matters: choosing the perfect image and making it yours.
Our Mission
To bridge the gap between digital and physical, giving your most meaningful images a form you can touch, hold, and treasure.
What Drives Us
Make It Personal
Mass production has its place, but we believe the things closest to us should reflect who we are. Every Shapify notebook is unique because every customer is unique.
Embrace Technology
AI isn't replacing creativity - it's amplifying it. We use the latest machine learning models to do things that would be impossible by hand, while keeping humans at the centre of every decision.
Craft With Care
From the paper we source to the packaging we ship in, every detail matters. We review every custom design personally because quality isn't just a feature - it's a promise.
Keep Improving
We're constantly refining our AI models, adding new features, and listening to feedback. The Shapify you see today is just the beginning.
Looking Ahead
We're just getting started. Our vision extends beyond notebooks to a world where any image can become any object - where the boundary between digital and physical dissolves entirely.
We're exploring new materials, new printing techniques, and new AI capabilities. We're building partnerships with artists and creators who share our vision. And we're committed to doing it all sustainably.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
