About Polaroid
Polaroid was founded in 1937 by Edwin Land. In 2008, Polaroid produced its last pack of instant film, but a group of passionate fans refused to let instant photography disappear, starting The Impossible Project, which grew into a mission to preserve and reinvent analogue photography. 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.
