    Put your selected photos into a folder on your computer. Open a new photo book in ifolor Designer for Windows and you can activate the "Photo Book Assistant" via the toolbar at the top by clicking on the little magic wand. Here you’ll find finished photo book templates for any topic. Next, select your photos, design the cover, and the assistant will fill the chosen template with your photos. Afterwards, you can personalise your photo book with text, clip art, frames and speech bubbles.

    Add Designs to Your Photo book

    When the standard design options aren’t exactly what you’re looking for and you need additional clip art and backgrounds, the ifolor Designer for Windows offers you a wide range of options. By clicking the tiny marker under ‘Design’ in the menu you can find additional designs for various themes and add them to your collection. Simply tick the box "Always show" and the corresponding design elements will appear on the selection menu.

    Using photos from iCloud and other saved locations

    We’re all familiar with having too many photos all over the place. Your holiday pictures, wedding photos or pictures of your children are saved on the Cloud or in other files or drives. In order to save time you can use the ifolor Designer for Windows to access iCloud or online storage accounts to get your photos. This can be done by selecting ‘My Photos’ on the menu and then choosing where your photos have been saved.

    Design Multiple Pages with Just One Click

    In ifolor Designer for Windows you can find a wide variety of borders for your photos. For example, the jagged white retro frames will remind you of old black and white photos. If you would like to use this retro style for your entire photo book you don’t have to apply this to every photo individually. By right-clicking on the first photo with the frame, you can either apply the same border to certain pages or to the whole of your photo book.

    Leaving empty spaces in your Photo Book

    You don’t have to fill every page with photos and text. Gaps and empty spaces are ideal for adding handwritten notes in your printed photo book. This makes a great wedding guestbook or why not create a photo love story by keeping your cinema tickets from your first date.

    To ensure that you leave enough space to add notes or personal keepsakes in your photo book, you can either delete placeholders or specifically add textboxes to the pages. Make sure to preview your photo book before ordering. You can view your finished photo book via the preview option. Here you can review the final result before it is printed, bound and delivered to your home
