How OhMyAlbum works
OhMyAlbum turns your photos into a real printed hardcover photo book. You bring your photos from your phone, a Google Drive folder, a Polarsteps trip or a Tinybeans journal, OhMyAlbum lays out the book by date and place, and you change anything by saying it. Making the book is free; a printed book starts from 31.90 EUR (hardcover from 39.90 EUR), with the full price shown before you pay.
The five steps
1. Import your photos
Add photos from your phone or computer, from a Google Drive folder, from a Polarsteps trip (paste the link or add your export file), or from a Tinybeans journal (add your monthly export zips). Google Photos is coming soon. Importing takes a few minutes, depending on how many photos you have.
2. OhMyAlbum lays out the book
Every picture finds its place by date and by place, in the order you lived it. You get real page layouts, a cover, maps and your own words. It is a first version to react to, not a template to fill.
3. Change anything by saying it
Tell OhMyAlbum what you want in your own words, in English or French: put the photo of the lake on the cover, make the title smaller, add a page with the sunset. You can also open any page and edit it yourself, or undo a change.
4. Preview it in 3D and check
Preview every page, and the whole book as a 3D hardcover, before you order. Previewing and editing are free, as often as you like.
5. Order, we print and deliver
Choose the size and the number of copies. Price, tax and delivery are shown before you pay, and you pay by card. Professional photo-book printers print your book and ship it to Europe, the UK and the US, with tracking.
