In their own words
Albelli
Albelli makes personalised photo books, wall decor, calendars, cards and gifts. Projects can be created in its iOS and Android app, online editor, or downloadable photo book software for Mac and Windows. The Smart Assistant uses uploaded photos or an album to draft an editable photo book layout; an AI Resolution Upscaler can improve low-resolution images for wall decor. The app’s 3D Preview gives an impression of wall decor size, thickness and finishes. In its photo book selection flow, photos can be imported from Google Photos, Facebook, Instagram and Dropbox. App and web projects sync, but desktop editor projects do not. Desktop software supports offline project saving, while online projects can be saved online. Photo books start at €9.99: the Vierkant S softcover costs €9.99 per once and has 24–60 pages; the Liggend S hardcover costs €15.99 per once and has 24–120 pages. Shipping is excluded, and extra-page charges apply. Albelli offers web, Windows, macOS, iOS and Android access, with a maximum of 120 pages per book.
Hofmann
Hofmann lets customers make personalized photo books and other photo products using an app, an offline desktop editor or an online editor. The app can import images from a device gallery, Google Photos, Facebook, Instagram or Dropbox. Album customization includes layouts, text, backgrounds, masks, frames and stickers. Online projects can be saved to an account, and a named project can be set to save automatically every two minutes. Before ordering, the online editor can flag issues such as blank pages or missing spine text. Listed hardcover albums range from 24 to 120 pages, with extra-page charges that vary by album. The Apaisado S hardcover album is listed at €13.99, paid once; extra pages cost 0.87 EUR each and shipping is excluded. Other listed options include hardcover albums priced at €29.99, paid once and €48.99, paid once. The offline editor is available for Mac and Windows, alongside mobile and web access. Hofmann says it processes uploaded photos to create personalized products, and its help center covers delivery, orders, payments, product creation and accounts.
