Make Your Own Photobooks

Mixbook Photo Book Review

Mixbook specializes in creating a collaborative environment to design your photo books. In fact, they call their photo book software a "collaborative scrapbook editor". That is how committed they are to collaboration.

Uploading pictures is quite easy and fast. The picture uploader also connects to several social networking, photo storage, and search engines. I was able to connect to Facebook and add pictures from my albums without a problem. The only issue with importing pix from other sites is that the pictures tend to be lower resolution and only good for smaller pictures on the page.

The Automix will make a book for you and it does a really nice job. You can change some pictures and add your own text so there is still a nice degree of flexibility with this option. Although there are specific backgrounds, stickers, and layouts loaded with each theme, you can add backgrounds and stickers from other themes or even upload some if you have them from another program. Layouts can be altered, and you can add a picture to any page, so you can really make your own layouts.
