What is OLDPIK?

Oldpik is a bridge to the past, a place where old photographs come to life and allow us to travel back in time. Each image is a window into a world that once existed, a captured moment that speaks to us of customs, streets, gazes, and moments that might otherwise be lost forever.

Think of those shoeboxes full of black-and-white photos, the forgotten albums on a shelf, those images that witnessed an era and are now waiting to be rediscovered. They might be family portraits, urban landscapes that have changed, local festivals, afternoons in the town square, or shops that no longer exist. These are small individual stories, but when brought together, they form something greater: the story of us all.

Oldpik invites you to share those photos and join them to a global collection of memories. Each image can be placed in any of the millions of locations, regions, or countries around the world, allowing others to discover what their streets, cities, and people looked like in another time. And the most beautiful thing is that what may be a personal memory for you could be a key piece in someone else’s reconstruction of their own history.

The value of each individual collection multiplies when combined with the contributions of other users. Together, we can create a unique visual archive, where every photograph adds one more piece to the puzzle of the past. What alone is just an image becomes, in community, a collective chronicle of humanity.

Every photo that isn’t shared is a fragment of history that fades away. Let’s not let that happen. Upload it to Oldpik and help the past keep speaking through our images. 📸✨
