Checkpoint is an interactive photo experience that prints on (BPA-free) thermal paper, allowing people to capture memories in physical spaces in a whole new way. We want the future of social connection to happen IRL, not just through our personal devices. The Checkpoint network consists of highly curated spots from all corners of culture. We're like your Michelin Guide for the coolest places in a city, as written by the next generation - get out there and explore! You can read our story at checkpoint.pictures/about.

A Gallery is a page dedicated to our locations where you can see the latest photos submitted by people who were in the space.

Stories are printed on the bottom of other people’s receipt photos. Simply tap the “print a story” button and write your story (1000 chars max). The Story is automatically printed on other receipts at the location you left it. More details here.
