Can one photo make a difference? Johnson and Johnson thinks so — for every photo shared through the Donate a Photo app, the company donates $1 to a non-profit.
The Donate a Photo app, which launched in 2013, hit a million photos earlier this year. Last week, Johnson and Johnson released a performance update for both iOS and Android versions.
Not only will J&J make this contribution for each shared photo, it allows users to choose from a selection of causes — currently, there are 46 different non-profit projects listed. The list of projects ranges from newborn resuscitation devices to help newborns breath, implemented through Save the Children, to assisting the victims of the Tennessee fires through Americares. The program donates to charities in eight different categories: women and children’s health, healthy families, health care workforce, environmental health, global disease challenges, essential surgery, education and equality, and emergency relief.
Donations are limited to $1 per day per user. Each cause also has a deadline and cannot earn more than the project’s goal.
So how does it work? Images shared through the Donate a Photo app are branded with Johnson and Johnson’s logo, as well as the Donate a Photo logo. Essentially, that means Johnson & Johnson appears to be paying for social media exposure — only instead of paying a marketing group or individuals with a large number of followers, they’re donating to charity.
Johnson and Johnson says users can select any photo from their camera roll to share to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Along with being shared to social media, the photos are uploaded to a gallery for other Donate a Photo users to explore.
The app has already received images from over 180,000 users, and has assisted 109 different causes. The app is currently available to users in the U.S., the U.K., Japan and Canada.
Donate a Photo is available via a free download from both the App Store and Google Play.
Fujifilm just gave its most popular instant camera a serious digital upgrade. The Instax Mini Evo 2 now comes with a touchscreen, larger sensor, and a video feature that captures four seconds before each photo. It is set to arrive by the end of November for $289.95.

Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.
Sigma FP2 brings faster shooting and 6K video
A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
