Easy to Use
Creating your photo book is super easy. Just drag and drop images from your asset menu at the bottom of the window on to the page you are editing, and edit their cropping and size on the fly. Use our Time Filter feature to sort your photos by date and time, making it easier to find those special moments.
Fully Editable Templates
Using our Edit Layout mode, inspired by Apple Aperture®, take any template and customize it to your needs by adding, arranging, and resizing images and text. If you can think it, you can do it in the PrestoPhoto App.
Dark Mode Support
We love Dark Mode just as much as you do. Our app supports Dark Mode on all Mac systems running macOS 10.14 and above, all you have to do is have your system set to Dark Mode in your system settings.
Support for Legacy Projects in Apple Photos, Aperture®, and iPhoto®
As of macOS 10.14, users can no longer edit their Photos project, and as of 10.15, Aperture and iPhoto will not run. As of macOS 10.13, users can convert Photos projects to the PrestoPhoto extension where they will be fully editable again. For older projects, you can export a PDF as detailed below.
Need to print an Apple Photo Book you've already created in Apple Photos, Aperture®, or iPhoto®? Visit our Apple Photo Books page to find more information about printing legacy Apple Photo Book projects exported to PDF that are printed nearly identical to Apple's Photo Books.

Layflat Photo Books
We offer printing options for our Layflat Photo Books with our PrestoPhoto for Mac in two different binding options: Seamless Layflats available in 4 sizes for a premium, edge to edge uninterrupted image and Hinged Layflats, available in 6 sizes, and are a more economical solution featuring a hinge insert to help the pages lay flat.
Smart Placement with CoreML
When creating your photo book, our new Smart Placement technology uses Apple's CoreML technology to select the best photos automatically. Instead of making a series of pages with nearly the same photos, it will automatically choose the best images from the set and move on. Photo books made smart.
Autoscale
Create your photo book and order it in the same orientation at the size you need with our Autoscale technology. Make a 14"x11" Hardcover Photo Book and order a extra copy as a 11"x8.5" Softcover Photo Book quickly and easily, all in the same cart.
Photo Book Export
Print your photo book anywhere with our Photo Book Export, available in PDF, JPG, PNG, and TIFF file formats at 350 DPI of your initial selected project size. Quickly and easily back up your photo books, prints, and more, or print them with any company you like with our full project export
