How do I take consistent bump photos?
BumpLapse's camera alignment guide overlays your
previous bump photo as a ghost image, so you can
match the same angle, distance, and position every
day. That consistency is what makes the final
pregnancy timelapse look smooth instead of shaky.
When should I start taking bump photos?
Most people start their bump photo journey as soon
as they get a positive pregnancy test or after
their first trimester, once the bump starts to
show. BumpLapse tracks your days and weeks
pregnant automatically, so it's easy to start
anytime and keep a full daily bump photo record
through your due date.
Does BumpLapse store my bump photos in the cloud?
No. Your bump photos never leave your phone. There
is no server and no account required — the only
optional sync is Apple's own iCloud backup, which
you control.
How does BumpLapse turn daily photos into a
timelapse video?
Every daily bump photo you capture is
automatically aligned and stitched together into
a high-quality timelapse video with smooth
transitions between photos, right on your phone,
ready to save or share whenever you like — no
editing required.
Is BumpLapse free?
Yes, BumpLapse is free to download on the App
Store for iOS 17.6 and later.
What happens if I miss a day of bump photos?
Nothing to worry about — BumpLapse doesn't lock
you out or reset your progress. Just open the app
and add a photo whenever you're ready, and your
gentle daily reminder will keep nudging you so
missed days stay rare instead of becoming a habit.
Can I start BumpLapse late in my pregnancy?
Yes. There's no wrong time to start — just enter
your due date and begin taking daily bump photos
from today. BumpLapse builds your timelapse from
whatever week you start through your due date, so
starting later just means a shorter (but still
meaningful) video.
Does the week-by-week fruit size comparison update
automatically?
Yes. Based on your due date, BumpLapse
automatically shows your baby's estimated size
each week with a fun fruit comparison, along with
development info and self-care tips — no manual
input needed beyond your due date.
Is there a watermark on my BumpLapse timelapse or
share cards?
No. Your timelapse videos and shareable progress
cards are yours to save or post anywhere — on
social media, in a group chat, or just for
yourself — without a BumpLapse watermark.
Is BumpLapse available for Android?
BumpLapse is currently available on the App Store
for iOS 17.6 and later. There's no Android version
yet.
What happens to my bump photos if I switch phones?
If you have iCloud backup turned on, your bump
photos and timelapse progress sync automatically,
so setting up BumpLapse on a new iPhone picks up
right where you left off.
Can I compare my bump photos side by side?
Yes. The Before & After tool lets you pick any two
photos—like week 8 and week 32—and compare them
with a simple, intuitive slider so you can see
your progress at a glance.
Can I create Instagram or TikTok-ready bump
photo collages?
Yes. BumpLapse includes collage formats and
examples sized specifically for sharing on
Instagram and TikTok, alongside customizable
progress cards and timelapse videos with smooth
transitions between photos.
What languages does BumpLapse support?
BumpLapse is available in English, Spanish,
French, and Portuguese, with translations
covering the full app experience.
