SmartAlbums is album design software for professional photographers. Known for years as Pixellu, we have been building tools for wedding, portrait, and family photographers since 2010. SmartAlbums turns a folder of images into a finished, print-ready album design in minutes using intelligent layout technology and thousands of handcrafted templates. Drop your photos in, make cuts in the timeline, and watch the spreads build themselves, then customize layouts, colors, fonts, text, and backgrounds however you like. Every major print lab's specifications are built into SmartAlbums, so bleeds, margins, and safe zones are handled automatically, and built-in safety checks catch problems before files reach the lab. Our proofing feature lets you easily publish a draft, collect client feedback, and make revisions. Alongside SmartAlbums, we make SmartGalleries for delivering and proofing client photos online, and SmartSlides for creating cinematic photo slideshows set to music. The three work together: client favorites flow from a gallery straight into an album design, and slideshows embed directly into the gallery your client is already viewing. Photographers in more than 100 countries use SmartAlbums, SmartGalleries, and SmartSlides, supported by a distributed team spanning four continents. Both Mac and Windows are supported, with a free 14-day trial and no credit card required. Learn more here: https://www.smartalbums.com/

I'm a professional photographer who have been using album design softwares over the past 14 years and I have to say that Pixellu checks all the boxes when it comes to speed, ease of use, price, support and overall asethetic quality.
The most impressive feature is that it, unlike most of its competitors, the software dynamically changes the layout if you add more images to the spread. And instead of prowling through dozens of blank templates, you can actively preview the layouts and different versions of it by toggling the UP or DOWN cursor.
Very importantly, it is vector-based and provides easy scaling when it comes to the output stage. This saves storage space (imagine your unflattened layers while working in Bitmap for Photoshop) and takes away the headache when your client decides to upgrade to a bigger album while you're halfway working on the layout.

I have been using both SmartAlbums and SmartSlides for years and I LOVE them! SmartAlbums allows me to design beautiful albums for my clients in minutes and with SmartSlides I create the gorgeous slideshows that wow my clients and I can use in social media to promote my brand and connect with future clients.
Their customer service is impeccable and they are always improving their products!
I have used Smart Albums for all of my wedding and boudoir clients albums for the last four or five years and honestly, love it! It's so simple, easy to use, effective and makes a normally mundane job of designing books really fun! You just drag and drop and it's easy as pie!
I'm absolutely in love with Smartalbums and smartslides. Both programs save me a lot of time and allows me to share the work with my clients in an easy and beautiful way. I totally recommend it.
Exceptional platform and exceptional customer support. I've recommended Pixellu products to colleagues for years and every single one of them continues to praise the product the same way I do. If you are designing albums any other way, you're spending your valuable time on the wrong platform. SmartAlbums changed my workflow for the better, in the best possible way!
SoundSlides and SmartAlbums are central to my workflow. I'm always impressed by Pixellu's continual refinement of these already-excellent products. They make creating slideshows and album designs so much more convenient. These are tasks that I used to dread because they were so time consuming. Not any more!
I'm using SmartAlbums and SmartSlides in my post production wedding workflow. Excellent tools to save time!
Since using Pixellu my turnover and profit margins have increased dramatically. being able to design multiple unique albums for my clients in such a short space of time means lots of up spell album sales. My record so far is 15 albums to one client. These would be personalized albums for bridesmaids, groomsmen and family. Incredible product!
Pixellu company provides a great service for their personalized attention, also offer a quality product, I recommend and recommend the products they have in the market.
I use both SmartAlbums and SmartSlides for my wedding photography business, both have been complete game changers in terms of my workflow.
They are super easy to use, help me create albums or slideshows in an unbelievably quick time, and most importantly both can be shared online which makes album proofing by the client quick and easy for both parties, and slideshows shareable with other guests and family from a wedding.
I love Pixellu's products and wouldn't even consider changing them for anything else on the market.
