Free professional album design service

Design experience without a price tag
By harnessing our wealth of experience in creating bespoke wedding album and family album designs, alongside numerous other projects that have seen the creation of thousands of one-of-a-kind designs, our expert designers have the ability to craft truly exceptional keepsake albums customised to your specific vision.

Simply upload your photos to our web-based Folio Albums Designer, and request that we design the album. For our free service, we recommend an average of four images per spread, meaning that for a 15-spread album, you can showcase 60 images; this design style allows the brilliance of your photography to shine through. We’ll send you the initial design, and if you’d like to make any changes, we even include one round of edits for free! Once you show your clients and you’re happy with the final design, you simply export it, and your files will come straight to us, ready to print your book or album.
Streamlined proofing and revisions
Once we’ve completed your album design, it will be accessible in your Folio Albums Designer account. This allows you to review it and make adjustments easily or request us to make them on your behalf. Additionally, you can provide your clients with a free digital flipbook to review the design and add comments to each page.

We provide one round of complimentary changes on your behalf, either before or after presenting it to your client. Should you require further alterations, we will inform you of any associated charges beforehand. This approach ensures a professionally designed album that is not only expertly crafted but also exceptionally beautiful.

Feedback we love to share

I’ve worked with Folio for years and have always had exceptional service. They’ve not once made an error (had have picked up on my own errors!) and are always available at the end of the phone). Oh, and their products are incredible. Thanks Becky and team!

I moved all my album sales to Folio. I now only offer them as their albums are just simply the best. Incredible customer service and quality. I’ve tried others and no one else compares.

The staff and service at Folio have been fantastic since I started to use them for album printing in early 2024. They were on hand extremely quickly to help me through the design and creation of my first studio albums, I couldn’t be happier with the standard of printing and quality of the product. I definitely recommend to anyone thinking about adding albums to their services. Thank you.
