Send the link
Change anything you like, set a password, and share it on WhatsApp.
What they'll open
A "Who's watching?" opening
They tap the link and find their own name waiting on the screen.
Seasons and episodes
College days. The Goa trip. That one Diwali. Your memories, arranged like a series.
A mood for every season
Each season plays with its own track from our cleared music library.
A private link
Password protection available. Every link is a long random code that can't be guessed or searched.
Yours to change

Questions
What exactly do I get?
A private Netflix-style website made from your photos: a "Who's watching?" screen, seasons, episodes and music. You send one link, and it plays on any phone.
Is this connected to any streaming service?
Placeholder Cinema is an independent product. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Netflix.
Do I need an account?
No. You pay as a guest with your phone number and email. To come back from another device, sign in with a WhatsApp code, or with Google if you linked it.
How long does it take?
Once your photos are in, we build the first draft and check it. We'll message you on WhatsApp the moment it's ready, and you can follow along on your order page.
Do iPhone photos work?
Yes. HEIC photos are converted in your browser before they upload, so there's nothing for you to do.
Can I add videos?
On plans that include clips. MP4 and MOV files work, up to 500 MB each.
