## What is Photrek?

Photrek – Travel Memories, Hand-drawn into Poetry

Turn your photos into unique hand-drawn travel route maps and cherish every journey.

Description

Mantu Photrek is an intelligent album management and route creation tool designed for travel enthusiasts. It not only automatically organizes your travel photos, but also connects your visited spots into smooth, hand-drawn curves, generating a personal "travel journal" just for you.

With a force-directed smart anti-overlap layout, you can freely drag points, adjust labels, customize theme colors and background images, making every route look like a hand-painted work of art.

Five immersive viewing modes — Hand-drawn Sketch, Magazine Photo Wall, Elegant Timeline, Interactive Map, and List Cards — satisfy different ways of reliving your memories. You can also export high-definition cards, generate animated route videos, and securely share them on social platforms with a single tap.

Core functionality is built on a local database and the system photo library. No photos or location information is ever uploaded, fully protecting your privacy.
