What a spread looks like, before you upload anything.

Three example albums, shown as the 300 × 300 mm spreads you would hold: two square pages, the fold in the middle. In the printed book that fold is a layflat binding, so a spread opens fully and a photo can cross it. The photos are from a MakeAlbum test shoot in Caparica and Lisbon, Portugal; your album will look like your photos, not these. Uploading and seeing your own spreads is free — you pay only when you order.

How these were made

Each page is one of the page types the layout engine uses: full-bleed photo, inset photo with margins, a pair, or text. The engine mixes them so the pacing follows the story; you can re-roll any spread.
The title and the italic line under it are set in the album typeface exactly as they print. Our AI drafts the title from your brief, and you can rewrite it; the pages carry the photographs, in the order they were taken.
Any even page count from 26 to 80: €199 to €349, shipping included. Done-for-you album design is available for +€59 if you would rather we built it.
