Create your Photobook in less than 10 Minutes

Imagine creating a beautiful, personalized photobook in under 10 minutes. No need to spend hours manually placing each photo on a page—just choose your favorite moments from your photo gallery, and let the app handle the rest. Sound amazing? In this post we explain how the byPaper app makes it this easy, turning your photos into a photobook in just a few taps.

How it Works: Easily create your Photobook

With the byPaper app, you have two ways to create your photobook: Automatic or Manual. Here’s how each approach works, so you can choose the one that best fits your style and schedule.

Manual Mode: For the Detail-Oriented Creator

In Manual Mode, you’re in control from start to finish. You’ll create each page from scratch, adding photos, selecting the perfect layout, and deciding the order of every page. This traditional approach gives you the freedom to customize each spread exactly as you envision it. However, it’s a process that requires time—most of our customers spend at least one to two hours crafting their photobook this way. For some, it’s an enjoyable creative outlet; for others, the time commitment can feel a bit overwhelming.

Automatic Mode: For a Quick and Effortless Experience

If speed and convenience are what you’re after, Automatic Mode is your best friend. With this option, we’ve developed a unique algorithm to take the heavy lifting out of photobook creation. Here’s how it works:

Select Your Photos: Simply choose the images you want to include in your photobook from your gallery. No need to worry about arranging them—the algorithm will handle that.
Smart Grouping and Layout: Our algorithm analyzes your selection, grouping photos into logical spreads, selecting a balanced layout, and even arranging the order. It’s like having a personal designer working behind the scenes to showcase your memories in the best possible way.
Preview and Tweak: After the initial version is ready, you’ll get a full preview. This offers the possibility to make quick adjustments: change the order of spreads or remove any that don’t fit.
Finalize and Edit: Once you’re satisfied with the draft, you can proceed with this version as the base of your photobook. From there, you can edit it as much as you’d like—adding captions, refining layouts, or making any additional changes.

The result? In as little as 5-10 minutes, you’ll have a polished photobook ready to go, saving you hours compared to the manual process. You can either finalize it as-is or continue to fine-tune your creation if you’re feeling inspired.

Automatic Mode vs. Manual Mode: Which should you choose?

While both options have their perks, Automatic Mode is a game-changer for anyone looking to preserve their memories without investing too much time. It’s a perfect choice if you want to spend less time creating a photobook, need a quick gift, or just prefer a streamlined experience. For those who enjoy taking a more hands-on approach, Manual Mode will always be there, offering full creative control for a fully customized photobook.

Best of all, you don’t have to choose just one. Start with Automatic Mode to create a beautiful draft in minutes, then switch to Manual Mode to make final adjustments or add personal touches for a photobook that’s truly yours.
