Daddy's Photobook

The team at Nowvel has almost 15 years of experience creating family themed photo books. In the spring of 2015, the Nowvel team made it their mission to make creating a photobook more user friendly. They built web tools and an iPhone app that allows users to easily load their photos from their computer, iDevices, Facebook and Instagram. The Nowvel software automatically places photos in the book of your choice and then you edit the collages to your liking.

I answered a Blogger Wanted post from the Nowvel team. I was asked to use their new software to create a photobook to my liking. I am now sharing the experience with you.

I went to www.nowvel.com (apple app)and chose the 11x11 Square Hard Cover Photo Book with Single Cover Photo. I clicked the Create Your Photobook button.

Here I was given the option to upload photos from my computer, Instagram, Dropbox, Facebook and Google. I first chose Facebook. I load any pictures I want to keep to Facebook and create albums that only I can see just for printing. However here I ran into a problem. I emailed the gentleman I was working with for this review and he told me that Facebook compresses photos when they are loaded. Therefore, the photobook software would not allow most of my photos because they were compressed to less than 850 pixels. The great news about this was this was fixable. I created a new folder on my desktop to download all the photos I wanted. I then resized them and easily loaded the entire folder with the Nowvel software.

This is where the software automatically loaded my photos into the photobook I chose. I was able to rearrange them into the arrangement I wanted. Some pages I placed one photo and others I placed six photos. I was able to choose from multiple collage options. I also wrote some sayings on a few pages.

As I reviewed the photobook, I was able to change the theme. From the numerous options, I chose “We heart Dad”. I was able to choose a picture for the cover and write a title. The title also prints on the binding.
