Snapfish Photo Book Review

One of the easier photo book printers, Snapfish does a great job making their site user friendly. If you’ve never done a photo book before, this would be a good place to start. They now have an upload process that makes the uploading of pictures a lot easier than it used to be. This is one of the easiest, fastest sites to use.

They try and make it so easy they even have more ways to upload photos than you doing it yourself via your computer. You can add photos straight from your phone or you can send a roll of film and they will upload the digital pix to your site along with sending you any prints you order.

This photo book printer is also reasonably priced with a nice range of photo book sizes and options.

There have been some changes in the software that they offer. They now have "magic pages". Magic pages allow you to flexibly create a layout just by dragging pictures onto the page. You can go from 3 pix to 5 pix and the layout will adjust accordingly. Very cool. They now have a storyboard view that lets you see the whole book and allows you to rearrange the order of the pages. You can even change pictures in this view -- but it is a little hard to see what you are doing since the pages are in thumbnail size. They have a few borders and corners now, but you’re still not able to use a picture as a background and place other pictures on top.

Besides photo books, this photo book printer also offers calendars, stationery, prints and a very long list of photo gifts. Their newest offering is called Snapfish Home Video. This Home Video allows you to store an unlimited number of home videos for the subscription price of $2.99 a month or $24.99 a year. These are great for videos you don't want on You Tube.

Snapfish is the first photo-sharing website to offer SkinIt custom photo skins. These “skins” can go over most models of cell phones, laptops and even MP3 players. SkinIt skins are removable and scratch resistant. They start at $19.99.

The photo books are hand-stitched, professionally-bound, and printed on acid-free paper.

If you have questions or need help, there’s email customer support.
