Features

Everything Memora Studio's editor and store do today. Nothing here is a planned feature: what does not exist yet is listed in the how-to guide, under limitations.

One or two places

The art can have a single map or two maps side by side, with a heart between them.

How it works: In the editor, choose "1 place" or "2 places". With two, a button swaps their order.
What it is for: Telling a story that involves two places, such as where a couple met and where they live.
Example: São Paulo and Lisbon, for a couple who met in Portugal.

Search for cities, neighborhoods and addresses

Anywhere in the world: a whole city, a neighborhood or an address.

How it works: Type in the location field and pick from the list. The search follows the site language, with English as a fallback.
What it is for: Getting to the exact place, not just the city.
Example: Copacabana, in Rio de Janeiro, rather than the whole city.

Map framing

The editor map is interactive.

How it works: Drag to move, and use the mouse wheel or a pinch to zoom in and out.
What it is for: Showing only the part of the city that matters: downtown, the waterfront, your street.
Example: Zooming in on the beach where the proposal happened.

Five styles

Silver, in color, with green parks and blue water; Dark, in navy and black; Sepia, in aged-paper tones; Gold, with gold lines on black; and Ink, in black and white.

How it works: Pick one of the five circles under "Style". The preview changes instantly.
What it is for: Matching the art to the wall, the furniture or the taste of the person receiving it.
Example: Ink, in black and white, for a room in neutral tones.

Full Solid

The whole sheet takes the map's background color, and the text takes the color of the streets.

How it works: Turn on the "Full Solid" switch below the styles.
What it is for: A single-color piece, without the light margin.
Example: Sepia in Full Solid, all in aged-paper tones.

Landscape or portrait

The print can be horizontal or vertical.

How it works: Click the rectangle icon next to "1 place / 2 places".
What it is for: Fitting the wall: landscape above a sofa, portrait on narrow walls.
Example: Two places in landscape, one place in portrait.

Automatic name and coordinates

Each place gets its name, a line with the state or country, and its coordinates.

How it works: The text comes from the place you picked in the search and is laid out as in the final file.
What it is for: A finished piece without having to write anything.
Example: "Rio de Janeiro" with the coordinates 22° 54′ S / 43° 12′ W.

Preview before you pay

You see the finished art before paying.

How it works: When you click "Checkout", the site builds the preview and opens the checkout. The preview has a watermark; the final file does not.
What it is for: Buying knowing exactly what you will get.
Example: Checking that the neighborhood name looks right before paying.

Digital file

A 4961 × 3508 pixel PNG (A3 at 300 DPI) and a print-ready PDF.

How it works: After payment, the download link arrives by email within a few minutes.
What it is for: Printing anywhere, including a local print shop, in high quality.
Example: Printing at A2 at a print shop the same day and framing it.

Framed print

The printed artwork, framed and ready to hang, delivered in Brazil, the US and Canada.

How it works: At checkout, choose the size and frame color, enter the address and see the shipping cost and delivery date. Tracking arrives by email.
What it is for: Getting the gift ready to give, without a print shop or a framer.
Example: A 12 × 16 in print in a black frame delivered in Chicago.

Six languages and local currency

The site in Brazilian and European Portuguese, English, Spanish, German and French. Prices in R$, US$, €, £ or A$.

How it works: The currency follows the country you visit from; the language is in the site address.
What it is for: Buying without currency conversion or text in another language.
Example: A visitor from Germany sees the site in German and prices in euros.

Discount coupons

The checkout accepts discount coupons.

How it works: Type the code in the coupon field at checkout. The discount shows in the total before you pay.
What it is for: Using promotions and partner codes.
Example: A code shared by a partner on Instagram.
