Album designer
From selection to print-ready spreads.
The photos the client picked flow straight into the album designer. Lay out spreads, drop in freeform text, choose lay-flat or booklet binding, share a proofing link for approval, and export print-ready pages — as a PDF or a layered PSD pack for your lab. No signal at the venue? The same designer works fully offline from a local folder.

Layouts
Spreads that respect the photos
Choose layouts for each spread and place the client's selection into them. Templates are built around how many photos a spread holds, so a 40-page album takes shape from 120 selections in minutes. Drop in freeform text boxes anywhere on a spread for captions, dates or a quote — pick the size, alignment and font — and choose lay-flat or booklet binding per album.
- Layout templates sized to photo counts per spread
- Drag, swap and reorder photos across spreads
- Freeform text boxes — size, alignment and font, placed anywhere on the spread
- Lay-flat (one continuous spread) or booklet (splits at the fold) binding, set per album
Proofing
Approvals without printing a draft
Share a proofing link. The client flips through the spreads in their browser, comments on what to change, and approves — the record of what was approved lives with the album.
- Online proofing link per album
- Comments and approvals tracked
- PDF proof export for offline review
No signal, no problem
The same designer, fully offline
Open the offline studio in your browser and pick a local folder as the project — no sign-in, no internet. Design spreads from the venue or on a flight, then sync back to your account when you're online again.
- Works from a local photo folder — no backend or account needed while offline
- The same spread editor as the online designer
- Sync back to your PixaConnect account when you're back online
Export
Take the spreads to your lab
Export the spreads as a print-ready PDF, or as a layered PSD pack your lab can open and adjust sheet by sheet. A live low-resolution warning flags any photo that won't print sharp at its current size before you export — not after the album comes back from the printer.
- PDF or layered PSD pack export, per sheet
- Live low-resolution warning before you export
- The approved design stays in your account
- Reopen and revise without rebuilding

FAQ
Questions photographers ask
Does the album designer use the client's selection?
Yes. Photos the client selected for the album in the gallery flow directly into the designer.
Can the client approve the album online?
Yes. Each album has a proofing link where the client reviews spreads, comments and approves in the browser.
What binding styles are supported?
Lay-flat, where a spread prints as one continuous image across both pages, or booklet, which splits at the fold. Set per album; booklet applies to two-page spreads.
Can I export the album as something other than PDF?
Yes. Export a print-ready PDF or a layered PSD pack, sheet by sheet, for a lab that wants to make its own adjustments.
Can I design an album without internet at the venue?
Yes. The offline studio runs from a local folder on your device — no sign-in or connection needed — and syncs back to your account once you're online.
Is the album designer included?
The album designer is part of PixaConnect galleries; AI-assisted layout is available on eligible plans. See pricing for details.
