What it is

PrestoPhoto helps customers create and order printed photo books, wall art, calendars, cards, prints, gifts, and other products. Its free web designer provides drag-and-drop placement in user-created templates, and customers can upload a completed PDF for photo book printing. On macOS, an Apple Photos extension uses an Apple Photos library to create books, prints, wall art, mugs, and other products. The Mac app can also access Lightroom images for custom photo books; listed version 5.0 features include image organization, low-resolution warnings, template styling, calendar image placement, and holiday and birthday support. It offers 24 book sizes in landscape, square, and portrait orientations, with hardcover, dust-jacket hardcover, softcover, and layflat options. The Mac app also offers 350 DPI digital export for backup or printing elsewhere. Professional members can use exclusive branding and private client previews for feedback. The web designer, macOS Photos extension, and iPhone and iPad app are free, while printed products are purchased separately. A 20-page perfect-bound softcover example costs $14.99, paid once. PrestoPhoto says it may not reprint or refund an order when a concern is caused by the customer's uploaded file.
