## What is Hanko?

Turn your favourite photos into super cute Layered Prints and Stamps.

Hanko is a custom stamp maker that transforms any photo into layered, carefully crafted art. Pick a photo, recolour each layer, and press your creation into your Eki Book — a personal travel stamp book that grows with every journey.   
  
Make custom stamps from any photo - every stamp starts as your image, decomposed into printable layers by AI. Adjust colours, reorder layers, scale and reposition them until your artistic stamp looks exactly right. No two stamps are alike.                                
                                                                                            
Build your Eki Book - your Eki Book is a living travel journal — a scrapbook app for the places you've been. Press stamps onto pages, arrange them freely, and build a visual travel diary one location at a time. Each stamp remembers where it was made.          
                                                                                            
Collect stamps from friends  - share your design stamps with anyone. Friends can collect your stamp into their own Eki Book — making HankoStamp a stamp collector experience built for the modern traveller. Send travel stamps as postcards, collect image stamps as souvenirs.

Once in a while, you come across an app that truly stands out from the crowd and makes you enjoy creating with time and purpose - and this app does just that. It’s not another boring “filter” app or gimmick. And it doesn’t merely copy your image either. It interprets images - with wonderful, authentic results. Simply amazing and addictive app!
