Your own magazine, free
Travel, family, club, hobby: stories as a digital magazine instead of a photo stream. No prior knowledge, no cost.
Over 100 teams publish with Novamag
Why Novamag for individuals?
Photos end up in a chat and the stories get lost. A digital magazine keeps them: the journey as an issue with a map and a photo series, the family chronicle, the club year, the wedding. Nova AI builds the pages from photos and texts, the editor leaves room for your own ideas. Publishing is free, sharing is a link, and a password keeps it private if you want.

Digital magazines for individuals: what's behind it
The most important terms, figures and workflows, gathered on one page.
What is a private digital magazine?
A digital magazine for private stories: the journey, the family year, the wedding, the club anniversary. Instead of photos in a chat, an issue takes shape with pages, photo series, maps, videos and text, readable on any device. Novamag provides the editor, Nova AI and the hosting for it, free of charge.
How does the magazine come about without prior knowledge?
Upload photos and texts, describe in one sentence what should come out of it. Nova AI builds the issue: the cover, the chapters, the photo series. The editor lets you change things with a click, without layout software. Templates for travel, family and club life provide the structure.
Who can read the magazine?
Whoever the link reaches. A password can protect the issue, so that only family and friends read and search engines stay out. Public issues can be shared in social media and are found in Google.
What does a private digital magazine cost?
Starting is free: an account, the editor, Nova AI within limits, hosting in the EU. Anyone who needs their own domain or more storage moves to Starter. A photo book costs more and takes weeks.
How safe are private photos at Novamag?
Every media file sits on servers in the EU with SSL, and backups run hourly and only in the EU. Password-protected issues are invisible to search engines. Tracking works without cookies and without personal data.
Which formats suit a private magazine?
A travel diary with a map and stages, a family chronicle as a yearly issue, a wedding magazine with video, a club year with results and photos, a recipe collection, a graduating class. Every issue can be duplicated and carried on.
