What it is

Bob Books lets customers create personalised photo books for printing, as well as calendars and wall art. Books can be designed with Bob Designer desktop software, an online creator, the mobile app, or PDF-to-Book. Bob Designer is free to download and allows offline editing; it includes layouts, photo editing tools, unlimited photos and text, fonts, and QR codes linking to videos. The online creator works from any computer but requires a good internet connection. The app imports photos from iPhone, iPad, or Android devices, though it allows only one photo book per order. Bob Designer, Online Creator, and PDF-to-Book support multiple books in one order. PDF-to-Book uses Adobe InDesign templates and exported PDFs. Square books come in small, standard, and large sizes, with up to six paper types and 26 to 202 pages. Digital-paper books are perfect bound; photographic-paper books use lay-flat binding. The listed Small Square option is $12.99, paid once (15 × 15 cm; price starts at £12.99; page count and options vary).
