Familink for developers: the API to easily order your photo prints online and ship them worldwide

Introduction

Familink is an innovative company that has developed a complete solution for individuals to share photos, in digital or paper format.

In 2023, we decided to open an API allowing developers to order prints of photos in 2 formats: 10x15 cm (4x6') and 15x20 cm (6x8') with ease. Familink can make life easier for developers and end-users by offering a fast and efficient solution for ordering photo prints, with worldwide shipping and fast photo printing and shipping time.
