Pressbook - Albums, Carousels & Collages
Pressbook finishes your camera roll three ways: magazine-quality photo albums to print, carousels to swipe, and collages to post, with video in the carousels and collages. The product site is pressbook.app. On-device AI curation using Apple's Vision framework picks the best photos, hand-designed templates lay them out, and everything renders on your iPhone or iPad. Export print-ready PDFs and MP4s, plus Stories-ready Reels from collages and carousels. Share from one panel: private iCloud invite or public link. Photos never leave your device.
Three formats, one promise
- Albums to print. A story engine reads the roll (chapters by time and place, the best of every burst, faces never cropped), a fullness slider sets how full pages feel, and every rebuild is a switchable take. Export 600 DPI PDFs that hold up at print size, page images, or a .pressbook project file, from a 249-template library. Start an album.
- Carousels to swipe. Two to ten connected panels on one wide canvas, sliced into a sequenced set for the feed. Add video, trim and mix its audio, and export MP4 with sound and HDR, or a continuous swipe or build Reel. Make a carousel.
- Collages to post. Single-page compositions in square, story, and post sizes. Drop in photos, stickers, and video, export a still, MP4, or build-up Reel, and share anywhere. Make a collage.
