SimplePrints

Effortless photo books with thoughtful customization options

SimplePrints does exactly what its name promises, stripping photo book creation down to the essentials while still delivering polished, gift-ready results. Instead of overwhelming you with complex design tools, it focuses on a clear, step-by-step flow: choose photos, arrange pages, add a few personal touches, and you’re done.

The interface is clean and intuitive, making it quick to pull images from your gallery as well as popular cloud and social services. Being able to mix photos from different sources in a single project is particularly handy for events that were captured on multiple devices. From there, you pick one of three book formats (8x8 softcover, 8x8 hardcover, or 12x12 hardcover), and SimplePrints guides you smoothly through to checkout.

Customization is where the app quietly shines. You can add captions to tell the story behind each moment, build collages with up to nine images on a page, and label the spine and cover for a more professional look. The dedication page is a lovely touch for gifts, baby books, weddings, or travel albums, and the free digital version of your book makes sharing online easy.

On the downside, creative users might find the layout options somewhat limited compared to full-fledged design suites. You won’t get advanced photo editing or deeply customizable templates, and prices can climb quickly as you add pages or upgrade to larger hardcover sizes.

Still, for anyone who wants a modern, high-quality scrapbook without a steep learning curve, SimplePrints is a strong choice. It’s especially well-suited to quick “year in review” albums, family keepsakes, and thoughtful last-minute presents that feel far more personal than their simple creation process suggests.
