Bob Books
What it is
Bob Books lets customers create personalised photo books for printing, along with calendars and wall art. Projects can be made with Bob Designer desktop software, an online creator, the mobile app, or a PDF-to-Book workflow. Bob Designer is free to download and supports offline editing, ready-made layouts, photo editing tools, unlimited photos and text, fonts, and QR codes linking to videos. The online creator works from any computer but needs a good internet connection. The app imports photos from iPhone, iPad, or Android devices. PDF-to-Book uses Adobe InDesign templates and uploads exported PDFs for printing. Square books come in small, standard, and large sizes, with up to six paper types and 26 to 202 pages. Digital-paper books use perfect binding, while photographic-paper books use lay-flat binding. The app permits one photo book per order; the other workflows support multiple books together. Small Square photo books cost $12.99, paid once (15 × 15 cm; price starts at £12.99; page count and options vary).
