Start with the search for photos. They make up more than 50% of your project.

1 Review Your Photos

To properly choose your photos, we advise you to gather your favorites in a single folder. Then it will be easier to exclude some of them. Remove from your selection any blurry photos or those with too visible an Instagram-type filter.

If necessary, retouch your images. A few adjustments can make a difference and increase the final quality. For example, you could brighten some photos.

You could also ask your relatives for help. They undoubtedly have many photos of unique moments that deserve to be published.

You could choose a theme and select your photographs accordingly: for example, a book about your holidays or your birthday.

To personalize your creation, we advise you to favor photos of friends and family.

2 Favor Photographs of Your Loved Ones

A paper album usually contains memorable photos. These evoke unforgettable moments that you enjoy reliving.

Shared moments are always pleasant to reminisce about. Especially if you plan to give these as gifts, take care to choose evocative photos that awaken emotions in those who view them.

To help you create your books, try imagining the printed version.

3 Imagine the Final Version

A tip for designing a beautiful album: sketch the content layout.

For example, in the case of a recipe book, list the recipes and pair them with the corresponding photos. For a holiday book, make a list of the stages of your journey and organize your pictures by stage.

Once your top selection is ready, decide on the structure of your gift.

4 Choose an Optimal Structure

At this stage, it's about choosing a format and a cover. We offer landscape formats (ideal for panoramas), portrait, and square. You can also decide on the size of your composition.

Additionally, we offer a choice of covers that includes quilted, hard, and soft. You can opt for binding with a spiral, stapled, or glued.

All these options are available so that you can personalize your work to the fullest. Page setup is part of the customization step.

5 Personalize Your Layouts

Depending on the subject of your photos, adopt a theme from our range. We have a variety of baby photo albums as well as albums for celebrations (birthday, wedding, family reunion). You might also prefer a classic design that suits any type of photos.

Keep in mind that all themes are modifiable. You can adapt a theme to fit your photos.

When importing photos, choose to position them manually or let the software do it for you. Then have fun with our tool! Move your images, text, and colors as you wish.

One last piece of advice, compose personal messages to share.

6 Craft Your Messages Carefully

Little notes or captions are always welcome, especially in the case of a gift. In a personalized baby photo album, you might add details on the size, weight, birth date, and preferences of your newborn.

Why not tell a story? or write a lovely letter to your baby? Don't hesitate to share your thoughts. When your child is older, they will be touched to read your messages.

Quotes or proverbs are also a nice touch to personalize the pages.
