Zinel

Zinel is a social app for creating, publishing, reading, and collecting digital ZINEs. The things you love. A place you want to remember. The photographs you keep returning to. Words, sketches, references, and fragments you have collected. A small world you want someone else to see. Choose them. Arrange them. Give them a sequence. Turn them into pages. Combine photos, writing, sketches, screenshots, poetry, and visual ideas to shape your perspective into a digital ZINE of your own. A collection of everything you love. A record of a particular place or time. A story told through photographs. A personal archive. A book of poetry, comics, fashion, travel, or experimental work. There is no single way to make a ZINE. Zinel is a place to edit your interests and ideas into a book, then publish it for the world to discover. CREATE YOUR OWN ZINE Build multi-page digital ZINEs with a freeform canvas editor. Add photos, text, shapes, sketches, and other visual elements. Move, resize, rotate, layer, and adjust the opacity of anything on the page. Design every page around the way you want it to look and feel. Create photo books, visual diaries, poetry collections, comics, moodboards, travel journals, art books, fashion stories, personal collections, and anything else you want to bring together in one book. PUBLISH IT AS A BOOK Give your finished ZINE a title, description, category, and tags. Publish it to a global creative community, keep it private, or save it as a draft until it is ready. Your work is presented as a digital ZINE to be experienced page by page — as a complete publication with its own sequence, rhythm, and point of view. SHARE IT WITH A LINK Every published ZINE can be shared as a browser link. People can open and read your ZINE even if they do not have the Zinel app. Add it to your social profile. Send it directly to someone. Feature it in your portfolio or on your website. Your ZINE can travel anywhere a link can. CREATE ON MOBILE OR THE WEB Use Zinel on your phone, tablet, or in a web browser. Start building pages while you are away from your desk, then refine the details on a larger computer screen. Create in the environment that works for you, without being limited to a single device. READ ZINES FROM AROUND THE WORLD Discover independent publications from photographers, artists, writers, designers, poets, and creators around the world. Explore photography, art, poetry, fiction, comics, fashion, culture, music, and more. Search by title or tag and find new work, ideas, and perspectives. A book shaped by someone’s obsession. A personal record of a memory or place. A collection devoted to one specific subject. Read the worlds that cannot be understood through a single image alone. COLLECT THE ZINES YOU LOVE Save memorable ZINEs into your own collections. Keep your collections private, or publish them as a curated shelf of work selected by you. Follow creators whose work resonates with you, discover their latest ZINEs, and connect through reactions to their work. EXPORT, ARCHIVE, AND PRINT Export your ZINEs as high-quality PDFs or image sequences. Save them. Send them to someone. Build a personal archive. Print and bind them as physical ZINEs. Take a book created digitally and bring it beyond the screen. PDF export is available with Plus or Pro. FREE TO START Zinel is free to start.
