【5 Key Features of the Photobook App✨】
① Automatic Saving of Editing Data
The save button has been removed, and it now automatically saves.
It automatically saves every time you operate, so you can concentrate on editing your photobook with peace of mind.
If you register as a member, you can also save your work in progress, so you can proceed at your own pace.
② Easy Creation with Comfortable Operation
Supports automatic photo placement and batch layout changes. Photo selection is also easier.
You can easily create photobooks in short bursts of free time, such as before bed, during childcare breaks, or while commuting.
By registering as a member, you can save your work in progress, allowing you to create your album at your own pace.
③ Over 150 Abundant Cover Designs
We offer a wide variety of cover designs, from simple single-color designs to those themed around growth records, seasonal events, travel, and more.
With over 150 designs to choose from, you're sure to find your favorite.
Some cover designs are part of a series, making photobook collections a great idea.
Photobook cover designs are updated regularly, allowing you to choose according to your purpose and the season.
④ Increased Customization Options
We've added various layouts, including a comment-free layout that allows for larger photos, and layouts optimized for photos taken with smartphones.
You can now also choose the font type, size, boldness, and color of the text. The number of characters you can enter has also increased.
And what's more, we've added a "stamp function" to decorate your pages to your liking!
Enjoy creating a one-of-a-kind album using these enhanced features.
⑤ Three Finishes to Choose From
"Light," with a wrap-around cover, is recommended for those creating a photobook for the first time.
"Standard," featuring high-quality 6-color printing and a slightly glossy finish, is perfect for gifts.
"Premium Hard," preserves memories you want to cherish forever with a hard cover.
Choose from three finishes to suit your needs!
【How it's Used📚】
◆Photo Album Compiling Photos Taken with Your Smartphone
Turn photos from your smartphone—pictures of your growing children, casual everyday shots—that have accumulated into a photobook.
The operation is simple, making album creation a breeze.
And actually, creating a photobook isn't just about organizing your photos.
By regularly creating photobooks to prepare for data loss, which can happen at any time, you can keep your memories forever even if your data is lost.
◆Children's Growth Records & Family Albums
It's used not only for recording daily life, but also for compiling children's artwork, monthly milestone photobooks, and event photos such as shrine visits and Shichi-Go-San celebrations. Creating a photo book of your child's precious memories as they grow up will double your love for them.
Looking at the photo book together, or reminiscing about memories when your child is older, expands the ways you can enjoy it.
◆As an Anniversary Gift for Your Lover
To mark important milestones with your loved one, compile all the photos you've taken together into a photo book.
As a one-of-a-kind, handmade family album, putting the memories you've created together into a tangible form will be even more touching.
It's also recommended to give it along with a gift.
◆Wedding Photo Book
Perfect for compiling photos from pre-wedding, post-wedding, and wedding day shoots.
By putting special and important memories into an album, you can look back on them anytime.
It's also a popular gift for parents and relatives.
◆Graduation Album/Preschool Graduation Album/Team Graduation Album
From preschool/school to students, from parents to teachers, from juniors to seniors, as a commemorative gift compiling photos from the past. Express your gratitude by compiling your accumulated photos into a single album.
It will surely become a lifelong treasure for both the recipient and the creator.
◆Recording Ultrasound Photos During Pregnancy
Ultrasound photos are printed on thermal paper, so like receipts, they fade after a while.
By taking ultrasound photos with your smartphone and creating a photo book, you can beautifully preserve your pregnancy memories for a long time!
Recording memories from your maternity period, not just photos after your child is born, will make the experience even more meaningful.
◆Photo Album of Your Beloved Pet
We often find ourselves taking countless photos of our precious family. Many people probably find their camera rolls overflowing with them.
With the Shimauwa photo book app, you can easily create an original album with just your smartphone.
You're sure to be overwhelmed by the preciousness of your beloved child!
◆Collection of Illustrations and Other Works
Compile your carefully crafted illustrations, photos, and other works into a photo book to create an original album.
Despite its low price, it offers high quality, making it suitable not only for personal use but also for sales, displays, and gifts.
◆Fun to Collect
We recommend creating and collecting not just one, but two, three, or more albums.
Its attractive appearance also makes it perfect for displaying on a bookshelf as "visible storage."
This irresistible desire to collect them all is one of the charms of Shimau Print's photobooks.
