In their own words
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.
