The assistant sorts the images either by date taken or by file name, and you set the page number and how many photos per page you'd like to have. Within minutes, you get a neat book draft that you can now make perfect. Read more on how to save time while making a photo book.

Software Version for Your Country

Pixum products delivered to your home

Make sure to be surfing on our homepage for your delivery country - each version of the photo book maker allows to submit an order to a particular delivery country. There are two versions of the app in the English language: one for the UK and an international one. Check whether your delivery country is on our list.

Should you have made your book in a wrong version of the app, simply save the project to your computer and install the matching software version to submit the order.

The first steps of making a photo book

Run the Pixum Photo World software and navigate with the mouse to the photo books section.

  1. Choose the book shape & size. Take a glance at your selected photos - are these mostly portrait or landscape shots? Landscape and square books give you more options to combine several pictures per page, while portrait-shaped books looks like a classic book from a bookshelf. You can change the size afterwards, too, but not the book shape.
  2. Select the book paper type. Matt surface makes the colours look muted and noble while glossy paper finish enhances contrasts and vividness. You can switch to a different paper type while you work as well.
  3. Now, decide whether you'd like to get a book draft made by our smart book assistant, or create your artwork completely by yourself. The book assistant is of a great help if your photos can be sorted either by file name or date taken. In case you've got scanned photos or have just created photo collages, or already know what the pages will look like, it's easier if you design the book by yourself. Click here for further information on working with the assistant.
  4. Hard back photo books, softcover or booklets? Change the cover type first in the editor mode, when you see the separate spreads in the book maker. Click on "Change product details" to switch to a different cover, paper type or to change the book size.
  5. Save your book draft by clicking on "Open" > "Save" and get back to it later by loading it from the "Open" section.
