What Is an Online Photo Album
An online photo album is a series of collages, each one acting as a "page" with several photos. You create pages one at a time, download them, and assemble a finished album.
Our editor lets you:
- Place 1 to 9 photos on each "page"
- Choose format: A4 (print), square (digital album), vertical (Stories)
- Add themed frames to each page
- Download as PDF for a print shop or JPG for a digital album
How to Create a Photo Album Online — Step by Step
Step 1 — Choose Page Format
Open the editor. On the "Canvas" tab, pick the format that fits your album:
- A4 Portrait — classic printed album
- A4 Landscape — wide album for landscape shots
- Square 1:1 — digital album for social media
Step 2 — Compose the First Page
On the "Layout" tab, choose a grid — how many photos per page:
- 1×1 — one large photo, like a cover
- 2×2 — four photos, classic album page
- 2×3 — six photos for a rich spread
- 3×3 — nine photos for a reportage page
Upload photos: tap a cell or drag images into the browser. The editor distributes photos across cells automatically.
Step 3 — Crop Each Photo
Double-click a photo in a cell to enter crop mode. Move and scale until the right part is in frame. Click "Done" or tap outside the cell.
Step 4 — Add Styling
Open the "Frames" tab and choose a page style:
- Neutral frames from "Decor" — for a clean album
- Themed frames — "Wedding", "Holiday", "Love"
- "No Frame" — minimalist look
Step 5 — Download the Page
Click "Export". For a printed album choose:
- PDF — for a print shop or home printing
- PNG / Print — maximum resolution (~4800 px on the long side)
Repeat steps 2–5 for each album page.

Photo Album for Printing (A4 and PDF)
For a printed album use A4 and export to PDF — the standard for print shops.
Tips:
- Choose Print quality in the export dialog — ~4800 px on the long side, enough for 300 DPI
- The editor shows final resolution and approximate file size before download
- One PDF = one album page. Merge several PDFs in a standard PDF editor (Adobe Acrobat, Preview on Mac)
Birthday Photo Album
Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations — great reasons for a photo album.
Anniversary idea: album "N years in photos." Each page = one year or life period. 2×2 or 1×1 grid, frame from "Holiday".
Kids' album: one page per year — from birth to now. Use "Decor" frames for a consistent style.
Wedding Photo Album
A wedding album is one of the most popular uses. We recommend:
- A4 Landscape — wide shots look great
- 2×1 or 2×2 grid — don't overcrowd the page
- Frames from "Wedding" — soft and elegant
- Cover — one large photo in 1×1 with a beautiful frame
Digital Photo Album Online
For digital albums (social posts, messengers):
- Square 1:1 works on all platforms
- Export as JPG for quick sharing
- Share via share link from the editor — no download needed
Tips for a Beautiful Photo Album
Keep one style. One frame or look for all pages — the album feels cohesive.
Follow chronology. Photos in order — from start to end — read much better.
Don't overcrowd pages. For meaningful shots, 1×1 or 2×2 beats 3×3.
Pick a strong cover photo. The first page sets the tone.
