Pressbook - Albums & Carousels

Pressbook turns the photos on your phone into magazine albums, collages, and carousels — finished on your device, never uploaded to us. Share any of them with the people you invite. Seal one as a Memory Capsule when you want everyone to open it together on the day.

Share your work.

Share an album, a collage, or a carousel as soon as it is ready. Invite people by the email or phone on their Apple Account, or from Contacts. They open it in Pressbook on their own device. Invites travel through your iCloud, never through our servers. No public feed, no account with us. Sharing is free for everyone.

Reactions and comments.

On a shared memory, everyone can react and leave a short note. On multi-page albums, reactions can sit on each page. Owners see who joined, who reacted, and what people said — and can send an update when the work changes after it was shared.

Memory Capsule.

When the moment needs a date, seal the share until a birthday, an anniversary, or any day you choose. Guests see the same countdown. On the day it opens for everyone together, with a clear unlock ceremony. You can still open and edit sealed work as the owner, and push updates anytime. Short seals of minutes or hours are allowed when you need them.

What you can make

Photo albums and photo books.

Multi-page albums that read like a printed magazine. Let Pressbook lay every page out, or pick each design yourself. Flip through with a page curl. Export a 600 DPI PDF when you want a print-ready file.

Video carousels.

Two to ten panels you swipe through. Add photos and video clips so motion runs across the cuts. Export as sliced images or one video.

Collages.

One composition from several photos, sized for a feed post, a story, or anywhere you share. Video clips work here too. Creation analyzes your picks and places them with a clear progress screen.

How it works

Pressbook reads your photos on your phone and builds the story. Chapters follow time and place, the best frame of a burst leads, faces are never cropped, and people show up evenly across the pages. A fullness slider sets how full each page feels, and every rebuild is a take you can return to.

Your photos stay private.

Everything is made on your phone. There is no sign-up. Nothing is uploaded to us for making the work. Shared copies move through your iCloud to the people you invite only.

More you can do

A sticker library, built in. 549 stickers across ten packs: letters, numbers and symbols, doodles, frames and tape, words, hearts and bows, everyday, flowers, travel, and celebration. Search by name, recolor white hand-drawn doodles, or cut a person or object out of a photo to use as a sticker.

249 hand-designed templates. Drawn by designers, not generated. Browse in a live preview, heart your favorites, and reopen with your last setup.

Edit the easy way. Move photos, group layers, add text and borders, draw with Apple Pencil. Smart guides snap as you drag. Curve text along a path, or fill it with a photo.

Built for your iPhone. Home Screen widgets, Live Activities on the Dynamic Island, Spotlight search, and Shortcuts.
