What’s New in SmartAlbums 2020

Pixellu was born as a solution to the problems we faced as wedding photographers. Running a profitable photography business is hard work, and much of that work is repetitive, tedious, and frustratingly time-consuming. We found ourselves spending increasingly more time stuck behind our computer screens and less time out shooting. SmartAlbums is our answer to the problems faced by many professional photographers — the same problems we experienced ourselves. 

Over the years, we’ve examined every inch of the photo album design process, tweaking, adjusting and adding to our software to create an easy-to-use solution that saves time — helping you to get back to doing what you love. 

Seven years later, SmartAlbums 2020 is taking ‘smart’ to a whole new level. We’ve reimagined the album workflow to help you build beautiful albums faster than ever before. Each new feature gives you more control, saves you time, improves your workflow, or helps you work smarter, not harder.  

What’s new:

Auto Build

Let Auto Build create your entire album with just one click. Simply choose your desired number of spreads, and the number of images you’d like to see across each one, then sit back and let SmartAlbums do the work for you.

Within Auto Build, we’ve also introduced Smart Grouping, which uses intelligent machine learning and your camera’s metadata to logically group images into a series of stunning spreads. Choose to have your images arranged by blocks of time, black & white or color, or the metadata in your photo — or select multiple parameters for greater control. Smart Grouping then examines the characteristics of your images, intelligently arranging them into spreads. It’s storytelling on autopilot.
