Hello. We're Polaroid. An iconic brand, built by passionate people

Polaroid was founded in 1937 by one of the 20th century's most influential innovators, Edwin Land, whose philosophy was: "Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible."

In 2008, Polaroid produced its last pack of instant film. But a group of passionate fans refused to let instant photography disappear. What started as The Impossible Project grew into a mission to preserve and reinvent analogue photography for a new generation. More than a decade later, that same startup acquired the Polaroid brand and continues to shape its future today.

At Polaroid, we create products and experiences that spark emotion, fuel creativity, and bring people closer together. At the intersection of art and technology, we believe in the power of analogue moments and genuine human connection in an increasingly digital world.

There is no other company on earth like this.
Polaroid is an iconic, world-famous brand, passionately reborn by a small group of misfits on a mission.

Our history is deeply rooted in science and art.
Edwin Land, a scientist, artist, and businessman, founded Polaroid in 1937. He used art and science to design the groundbreaking SX-70 instant camera. Decades later, artists like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring used Polaroid cameras and photography to express themselves, question labels, and challenge the status quo. In the past decade, a group of passionate people set out to save analog instant film with The Impossible Project, and unsurprisingly evolved into the modern Polaroid.

We are not your parents' Polaroid.
We honor our heritage, but look forward to how we can create a more human, meaningful world through creativity. That is our vision. We can make anything, but we push ourselves to make and do things that unleash creative energy. It is not what we say, but what we build and create that defines who we are.
