For Seesaw parents

Your kid's Seesaw photos are stuck in a zip file. Let's fix that.

Little Archive moves your child's Seesaw school photos into Google Photos in minutes — with the teacher's captions preserved.

Coming Soon One-time purchase. No account needed. Takes about 5 minutes.

How it works

1

Export from Seesaw

Download your child's journal from the Seesaw app as a zip file. Not sure how? We'll walk you through it.

2

Upload to Little Archive

Drop your zip file here. We'll find every video & photo and pull out the teacher's caption for each one.

3

Preview what we found

See your photos with captions before anything gets uploaded. Make sure everything looks right.

4

Send to Google Photos

Connect your Google account and we'll upload everything into a new album — like "Seesaw — Emma — 2025". Done.

The captions come with them

When you manually upload Seesaw photos, the teacher's words get left behind. Little Archive embeds them as metadata so they show up right in Google Photos.

Your photos, your control

Nothing stored

Your files are deleted from our servers the moment they're uploaded to Google Photos.

Minimal permissions

We can only add new photos and check album names. We can't see, change, or delete your existing library.

No account needed

Upload, preview, pay, done. We don't create an account for you or store your email.

Revoke anytime

Disconnect Little Archive from your Google account whenever you want from your Google settings.

Common questions

How do I export my child's photos from Seesaw?

Open the Seesaw Family app, go to your child's journal, and look for the download or export option. Seesaw will create a zip file with all the photos, videos, and captions. If your school's Seesaw subscription supports it, you'll get the full archive. We have a step-by-step guide to help.

How much does it cost?

It's a one-time payment per journal — not a subscription. You'll see the price after we preview your photos, before you pay anything.

What Google permissions do you need?

Two things: permission to upload new photos to your library, and permission to read your album names (so we don't create a duplicate). We cannot see, download, modify, or delete your existing photos.

Does it work with iCloud Photos?

Not yet — Little Archive currently supports Google Photos only. We're evaluating iCloud support for a future update.

What if my school uses the free version of Seesaw?

Export availability depends on your school's Seesaw plan. Some free-tier schools have limited export options. If your school recently archived a class, you may have a 60-day window to download your child's journal.
