polaroin

Polaroin is a simple website that brings the magic of Polaroid pictures into the 21st century by allowing users to easily convert and share digital photos online without the need for extra software or equipment. Take any digital jpeg that is at least 430 pixels wide and 440 pixels tall, upload it to Polaroin, decide where to crop it, hit the "Polarize it!" button and few seconds later...voila, your photo is transported back to time when instant photography meant something other then taking a picture with your cell phone.

Then you have the option to download your newly created digital Polaroid, share it on Facebook or make another one with absolutely no cost to you. And although Polaroin is in the Beta stage of development it still worked with out a hitch.

Check out one of our conversions below.
