From camera roll to a printed book at your door.
MakeAlbum is an automatic photo album maker with a human checkpoint. The AI does the sorting and the first draft; you make the calls that matter. Six steps, and nothing is printed until you say so.
Steps one to five are free. You pay at step six, only if you order.
Upload the whole camera roll
Drag in the full set straight from your phone, laptop or camera card — JPEG, HEIC / HEIF, PNG, WebP, AVIF, up to 50 MB each. Bursts, near-misses and screenshots are fine; the filter is built for them. Add a two-line brief with names, places and dates if you like.
Our AI pre-filters and curates
Each photo is read for sharpness, exposure, duplicates, faces and content, together with its EXIF time, GPS and camera data. Weak and repeated frames are set aside, the strongest frames are chosen to fill your page count, and each moment is kept together, in the order it happened.
The layout engine builds the book
In the same run, spreads are generated for the square format from a library of templates, mixing full-bleed pages, pairs and grids so the pacing follows the story. The album title is drafted from your brief. You open a finished book, not a to-do list.
Edit, then approve
Swap photos from the tray, move them between spreads, move a photo inside its frame, rename the album, re-roll a title or a layout, switch the look, pick the cover and the page count. The price updates as you add pages. Nothing goes to print until you approve.
Print and delivery
We render print-ready PDFs and send them to our print partner. Production typically takes 4–6 working days, EU delivery 2–4 more; you get tracking by email.
What the AI does — and does not — do
- It scores sharpness, exposure and duplicates, reads EXIF time and GPS, and labels what is in the frame.
- It keeps each moment together, in the order it happened, and drafts the album title, grounded in the brief you write.
- It never publishes, shares or trains on your photos. Curation runs on a licensed corpus, not on customers’ uploads.
- It never prints anything. The approve button is yours.
Or let us do steps two to five
Choose Done-for-you (+€59) when you order and our team curates, designs and captions the album from your upload and brief. You get a preview by email, typically within 2–4 business days, ask for changes if you like, and approve when it is right. Two things on your side: pay, then approve. Details on the pricing page.
