When it comes to photo book software, there are tons of options out there. Some have more bells and whistles than others, but all can help you bring your memories to life. To make the process of photo book designing as painless as possible, many providers offer pre-made layouts so that you don’t have to rack your brains trying to think of a creative design for your project. Some even support adding a video slideshow to relive your precious memories in a more immersive way.

The most important thing to look for in a photo book-making service is quality. It should be able to produce prints with high-resolution and accurate colors, especially if you’re uploading photos from social media. It should also be able to print in landscape and square shapes, with a variety of cover and binding options. Lastly, it should be able to save your photos, layouts, and projects so that you can revisit them at any time.
