Do you remember how fun it was to take a Polaroid? The camera would make that noise, there would be that smell of fresh ink and with a few shakes - voila! Not only was it a cool process, but the images always had a unique look about them. Well, you gotta love technology, because a technical genius built a FREE (yes, we love that) desktop  application into which you can drag and drop any picture, which it then converts it into a real, printable Polaroid. Fittingly, he named it “Poladroid.” It is super easy to use - when you launch the application, you will see a little, floating camera appear on your desktop. Drag in a picture and it will spit out a Polaroid that you can shake around with your mouse to help it develop. When it’s done, it saves a hi-res copy of it to your desktop.

If you like that Polaroid vintage look, you’ll love this, and your kids will have fun doing this with you if they are old enough. The family pics (and baby pics) look especially great. You’ll have trouble figuring out which ones to frame.

Download the Poladroid application and let the fun begin.
