Preview your book in 3D

We have had a number of questions about our photo books over the past few weeks so I thought a blog post to answer the top 5 of our customer queries would be useful.

1. How do i know how my book will look like when printed?

That’s the beauty of our 3D preview. You can see an almost accurate representation of your photobook before printing.

2. Do you offer photo albums as well as photo books?

Yes. KoodibooK products include several premium quality photo album options to choose from. We are also currently expanding our product line so watch this space!

3. Will everyone be able to view my book when i publish it?

That is entirely up to you. We currently allow private or public sharing so you can can choose to create and share your book with others in the library or keep it to yourself by publishing privately. The good news is We’re just starting to test a large update which allows sharing with selected people via email. Exciting times!

4. Is it expensive?

A 25 page A5 softcover book costs only £9.99. There are also many other options to choose from if you are on a budget without compromising on quality.

5. I have printed photo books before with other providers and the image quality was not as i expected.

Our software warns you anytime your images are overstretched or low resolution so you can fix these before printing. Don’t take our word for it though. See what others are saying about creating KoodibooK photo books.

So here is…  KoodibooK

We originally had the idea for creating a brand new way of self-publishing three years ago.  We took the risk and threw our energy into creating KoodibooK and now (after lots of hard work and support from many people) it feels like we’ve just given birth. Not in the ‘crank-up-the-gas-and-air’ way, but in the sense that something we care about has just entered the world and has the potential to enable lots of people to express themselves in so many ways.

And in order to achieve its potential, it needs dedication from its immediate family (us) coupled with nurturing development from its extended family (you).

So that’s my first message on the launch of KoodibooK.   Our baby has been born.  We’re extremely proud and we know it’s very special, but it’s not perfect and can always get better.

They say it takes a whole village to bring up a child and we’re lucky that the village KoodibooK was born in is a global one. Wherever you are, we’d appreciate you helping KoodibooK grow up with all the love and attention you can spare.
