No Time to Create Your Design?
We understand that designing an album can be time-consuming. That’s why we offer a free album design service to lend a helping hand.
How to Request a Design
If you’d like us to create your design for free, simply visit designer.folioalbums.com. Upload the images you want included in the design and then click ‘Request Free Design’. We will email you as soon as possible with an expected completion date for your design, which typically takes 5 working days or less.
What We Need
To create the best possible design, we ask for an average of 4 images per spread. For a typical 15-spread album, this means you can upload up to 60 images. We have found this number gives your images the space they need to look truly stunning.
How to Name Your Files
Please Note: Before uploading, make sure your images are renamed sequentially and we suggest using a three-digit sequence number at the beginning of each filename, such as:
001_filename.jpg
002_filename.jpg
...
010_filename.jpg
011_filename.jpg
etc.Using a three-digit sequence number ensures that the images appear in the correct order when uploaded. The leading zeros (e.g., 001 instead of 1) are important because they help maintain the proper numerical sequence, particularly when dealing with more than nine or ten images. Without leading zeros, some computer systems might sort 10 before 2, which can disrupt the intended sequence of your images.
What’s Included
Our free album design service includes one round of changes at no additional cost. This gives you the opportunity to make amendments before or after sharing the design with your client. If you need further changes, additional charges will apply.
What Happens when my Design is Completed?
Once we have completed your design, you will receive an email notification. You can view the completed design by returning to the designer page.
To share the design with your clients, simply click the ‘Share Design’ button. Your clients will then be able to add comments directly on the relevant spreads. If any changes are required, you can either make them yourself by clicking ‘Edit Spreads’, or you can email the requested changes to us.
