Step 1: Making your Photo Book (Guess what: it’s fast!)
First, let's talk about the fun part: how you make a Photo Book.
With some online Photo Book makers, this can be a long process. You spend hours choosing photos, uploading them, dragging them into layouts, and getting everything just right.
With Journi, it's a different story.
Our smart AI is the best Photo Book maker app for a reason: it does the hard work for you.
Just upload your photos from your phone, desktop, or Google Photos, and our AI will:
- Arrange over 1,200 photos in chronological order.
- Adjust the exposure and colors of your images to enhance them automatically.
- Create a beautiful timeline with maps and headlines.
The result? You can make your own Photo Book online in seconds!
That’s how easy it is to have a complete, ready-to-print draft. All you need to do is add your final personal touches to make it uniquely yours.
Step 2: Printing & production time
Once you’ve perfected your design and placed your order, our local printing partners get to work.
We don't mess around with quality. Your memories deserve the best. Every Journi Photo Book is printed on premium, FSC-certified paper sourced from sustainable forests. We’re passionate about creating beautiful products responsibly.
This quality-focused production step typically takes 2-5 business days. During this time, we're carefully printing, binding, and preparing your custom Photo Book for its journey to you
Step 3: Shipping times & costs for your location
Your Photo Book has reached the final stretch! The shipping time depends on where you are in the world.
