When you have created the perfect design for your photo book pages, you can save the layout in our offline creator tools. That way, you can easily use the same layout again. You can even export your saved layouts to another computer! We will show you how to do it.
App
Our app is an easy to use, simplified version of our software. For this reason, it is not possible to save your own layouts in our app (smartphone and tablet).
Windows - offline creator tool
1. Go to the page you want to save the layout from. You can simply click on it.
2. Go to "Layouts" in the left column and click on "My layouts".
3. Click on "Save layout" at the top.
Here you can also find all of your saved layouts. Just drag the layout to the page to use it again.
Please note:
- In our creator tool for Windows it is only possible to save your own page layout. This is not possible for photo cover layouts.
- You can save the layout per single page and not for the whole book all at once.
- Saved layouts will only be available for a new photo book with the same orientation. This means you cannot see and use layouts from a landscape photo book for a portrait photo book.
How can I export my layouts to another computer?
Please note: You can only transfer layouts to a computer with the same operating system (Windows to Windows and Mac to Mac).
