Album
Create beautiful photo albums with customizable layouts, hard covers, and automatic page composition. Upload your photos and the system arranges them into a 3D flipbook.
Create an AlbumWhat is an Album?
An Album project turns a set of photos into a 3D photo book. You upload the photos, and the album lays them out on its pages for you, behind a hard cover that carries your title.
- Photos laid out automatically, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6 to a page
- A hard cover that is always on: a colour, a gradient or your own image, plus a pattern
- A cover title with 12 fonts, its own size, colour and outline
- Hotspots on any photo: links, jumps to another photo, tooltips and pop-ups
- Drag to reorder the photos at any time

Files and limits
- Photos only, in any image format your browser opens, such as JPG, PNG or WebP. A PDF is not accepted.
- Upload many at once and drag them into the order you want.
- The cover is not one of your photos: the album builds it from the Cover settings, where you can also upload a cover image.
- Uploads count toward your workspace storage: 50 MB on Free, 10 GB on Pro, 25 GB on Business.
Create an album
1. Upload your photos
Open the Content tab and drop in your photos.
2. Put them in order
Drag a photo to move it, remove the ones you don't want, and add more at any time. The order is the order of the pages.
3. Choose the layout
In Settings, under General, pick how many photos go on each page and the colour of the pages.
4. Design the cover
In the Cover section, pick the cover's colour, gradient or image, then write the title and choose its font, size and colours.
5. Share it
Save, then copy the link or the embed code from the Share tab.
Settings
Everything below is in the editor's Settings tab, listed under the sub-tab where you find it: General, Scene or Camera.
General
Basic info (the project title and description) sits at the top for every type. Below it come the settings for the object itself.
Appearance
Photos per page: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6 (4 by default). Fewer photos per page means bigger photos. Page color is the paper the photos sit on.
Cover
The cover is a solid colour, a gradient or an image you upload, with an optional pattern on top. When it is not a solid colour, Spine and cover edge sets the colour of the spine and the cover's rim. Cover title is the text on the front (empty, it uses the project title), with a choice of 12 fonts (Georgia by default), a font size from 24 to 96 (48), a text colour, and a text stroke from 0 to 12 with its own colour.
Scene
What surrounds the object, and the Realism finish over the whole frame.
Background
A solid colour, a gradient or an image of your own (with an optional blur), plus an optional pattern on top.
Realism
Film grain over the frame (0 to 100, 15 by default), how much of it lands on the pages, still or animated grain, a vignette, and the shadow the album leaves on its surface, with how dark it is.
Camera
Where the view starts and how much visitors can move it.
Playback
Auto-rotate pages turns the pages on its own and goes back to the start after the last one. Interval sets the seconds between turns, from 1 to 30 (3 by default).
Camera
Page flip speed is how long a page takes to turn, from 0.15 to 5 seconds (0.8 by default). Initial zoom (50 to 200%), Min zoom (50 to 100%) and Max zoom (100 to 200%) set where the view starts and how far it goes. Horizontal rotation (up to 30 degrees each way) and Vertical tilt (up to 45) aim the camera. Drag to rotate, on by default, lets visitors turn the album by dragging the background; it springs back when they let go, and it replaces swiping to turn pages. Reset to default puts the page flip speed, the zoom and the angles back, and leaves Drag to rotate as it is.
On a phone, the editor's Camera section has no Horizontal rotation or Vertical tilt sliders. Set the camera angle from a computer.
Hotspots, menu and sounds
Next to Files, the Content tab has three more sub-tabs: Hotspots, Menu and Sounds.
Hotspots
Hotspots go on the photos: each one belongs to a photo, and Go to Photo jumps to another photo of the album.
A hotspot can go to another page, open a link, show a tooltip or open a pop-up. How hotspots work
Sounds
Every project type can have background music. Add tracks as MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG or FLAC, up to 20 minutes each. They are compressed to about 1 MB per minute and count toward your workspace storage. You can loop the playlist, set the volume and show a small player next to the dock. Autoplay starts with the visitor's first tap or key press, because browsers block sound until then.
Film it in Studio
Every project type can be filmed in Studio. Open the project's Studio tab, pick camera moves made for this type, and turn the project into a video, a GIF, a still image or a page of its own to share. Studio reads this project's files and settings, so what you set here carries over. Read the Studio docs · See the camera moves for each type
Current limits
- One layout for the whole album: every page has the same number of photos.
- The cover is always hard. There is no soft cover option.
- There is no links dock on an album. To link out, put a hotspot on a photo.
- Auto-rotate pages does not run on phones, or for visitors who ask their system for reduced motion.
Tips
- Order the photos as a story: the order you set is the order of the pages.
- Use 1 or 2 photos per page for portraits and big moments, 4 or 6 for a busy day.
- Keep the cover title short. It has to read at the size of a thumbnail.
- A neutral page colour, like cream or light grey, lets the photos stand out.
- Add a text stroke to the title when the cover is a busy image.
