Once I figured the program I really enjoyed putting this album together. The only reason I gave 4 stars on the Software review was because I count not figure out how to add text to the spine. I was able to access photos from many different sources and that was very helpful since I was making a book for my family. I would defiantly recommend using SAAL Digital! Their products are top notch and the customer service is AWESOME!

Saal professional photography experience has been amazing so far. Web app and software has a bit of learning curve first time but, features are absolutely amazing.

I’m a huge fan of Saal Digital! After being disappointed with the quality of the local labs, I decided to give Saal a try and have been so impressed that I’ve never looked back. The software is super user-friendly and you can even customize the pre-made designs to fit your specific needs. Clients are especially blown away by the acrylic and metal covers for albums.

I highly recommend Saal for creating a photo book. I still cherish a photo book made through their superb design tools, in order to remember a memorable trip to Morocco. The quality of the product is superb and arrived in good time as well. My sincerest thanks for a memorable product, and I hope many other people utilise your service to make special photo books.

Chris said on 20/10/2025
Had the opportunity to create a professional line photo book recently and I have to say, I was really impressed. The quality of the book is excellent. I choose a metal cover with leatherette which works really nicely. The glossy paper lay flat binding was really great as I wanted to have some photos across two pages. The software was easy to use and my book was with me in no time. Very happy with the results and we treasure it for years to come.

Thank you Saal Digital for being the best, I received my latest photo book yesterday and it is truly exceptional. It is my fifth book project and the quality is truly the very best. I have created 31 books over the past 15 years using three different manufacturers. Based on my experience, none compare to Saal. Looking at the new book filled me with joy, thank you.

XT Photo Book: Robust, High-Quality Pages

The XT Photo Book features ultra-thick pages, each reinforced with sturdy 600 g/m² cardboard for a special quality and feel.

Although the added thickness limits the total number of pages you can include, this option is ideal for shorter Photo Books where you want maximum durability and a premium, luxurious finish.

Smart image enhancement

Smart image enhancement

Improve your photos with one click. Our AI-powered image enhancement analyses each image and automatically optimises it so your pictures look their best. It adjusts brightness and contrast to reveal more detail, fine-tunes colors to make them more natural and vibrant, corrects red-eye, reduces image noise (graininess) and re‑sharpens soft areas for a crisper look.

You stay in control: you can turn the Image Enhancement on or off at any time while designing in our app for iOS or Android, our online webshop or our desktop software.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

How many pages can my Photo Book have?

Our Photo Books contain 26 to 160 pages depending on format and paper type. Some exceptions: the 42 × 28 cm Photo Book supports up to 130 pages, and the XT Photo Book normally allows 10 to 58 pages.

💡 Tip: Use fewer pages for thick paper, more pages for standard paper to keep binding elegant.

Do all photo books have a Layflat binding?
Almost all. Our standard Photo Books feature layflat panoramic binding at no additional cost, allowing photos to flow seamlessly across pages with no centre fold. Our Portfolio Album uses a different binding system suited for professional presentations.
Will my Photo Book automatically rearrange when I add new photos?
It depends on your design method. In manual layout mode, your design stays locked. With the One Minute Photo Book, you can toggle Auto Layout on or off — giving you control over whether pages adjust automatically when you move photos.
Can I put texts or cliparts on leatherette or linen covers?
Absolutely. You can add custom text elements or cliparts in various fonts and colours directly onto Linen or imitation Leatherette covers. For white Leatherette covers, you can also print full images for a refined, personalised look.
Can I write on the spine of the book?
Yes, you can label the spine by creating a text box and selecting the "On spine" option in the menu on the "Position" tab.
Why do printed photographs sometimes appear darker than they do on my screen?
Screens use backlight (RGB), while prints use ink (CMYK) without illumination. This difference, combined with the loss of screen brightness, often makes prints appear darker. We recommend downloading our ICC colour profiles. Our calibrated workflow ensures vivid, realistic colours.
Can I preview my entire Photo Book before placing an order?
Yes. A high‑resolution preview displays every page, cover, and text exactly as it will be printed, assisting you in verifying alignment and colour prior to checkout.
What should I do if my Photo Book arrives damaged or does not meet my expectations?
Visit our Order Complaint Portal to report any issues. We will inspect your order and provide a thorough solution for problems as part of our Customer Satisfaction Guarantee.
Are Saal Digital Photo Books suitable for professional photographers?
Yes. Saal Digital Photo Books are designed for professionals who require precise colour management, layflat binding, and premium photographic paper produced in Europe. Many photographers choose us for wedding albums, portfolios, and client presentations. However, our Photo Book range is also perfect for consumers who particularly value quality at an affordable price, thanks to our comprehensive product range.
Why does the final price differ from the initial price?
The final price reflects your selected options: paper finish (matte, glossy, silk), cover material (hardcover, linen, leather), page count, format, and whether you choose XT Photo Book (a premium product line). We will always show all costs transparently before checkout.
What distinguishes Saal Digital Photo Books from other providers?
We offer professional-grade materials, free layflat binding, real photographic paper, in-house production with calibrated printing at a single location in Germany, customisable layouts, and 100% satisfaction guaranteed, which means we will find a suitable solution to any of your problems. Our Photo Books are built for longevity and archival quality, meeting in particular the standards demanded by professional photographers.
How long do production and delivery take?
Saal Digital produces centrally at one single location in Germany. Our production times are among the fastest in the photo industry. Often, individual products are produced within 24 hours after ordering. Product-specific production and delivery times vary by photo book type and destination. For current timelines, visit our Shipping Costs & Delivery Time page. Express delivery is available for urgent orders.
Can I combine multiple discounts or vouchers?
Only one voucher can be applied per order. Discounts automatically appear in your shopping basket before you confirm payment.
Do I require professional software to design a Photo Book?
No. The Saal Design Software and our mobile App and online designer provide you with flexible layouts, drag-and-drop tools, and complete creative freedom — from quick Photo Books to professional portfolios.
How can I prevent my photos from being cropped in the album?

Our editor displays clearly marked crop zones during creation. We recommend:

  • Using the high-resolution preview before ordering
  • Leaving margin space in important photos (especially faces)

If your album arrives with incorrectly cropped photos due to a production error, you can just file a complaint at the Order management.

Are my projects automatically saved while I work?
Yes. Projects are automatically saved to your account as you edit. We notify you before deleting old drafts. You will never lose work due to unexpected closures or inactivity, unlike applications that do not sync properly. Ensure you are logged into your account to easily save all your projects and access them from different devices.
Are Saal Digital albums suitable for wedding albums?

Yes. Our albums with layflat binding are ideal for weddings because they allow uninterrupted panoramas in the centre. We use real photographic paper and offer premium cover options in linen or imitation leather. Many professional wedding photographers trust Saal Digital to deliver durable and elegant albums to their clients.

The most popular Photo Book for weddings is our Professional Line, thanks to its beautiful Acrylic cover.

Can I create a professional Photo Book to present my photography portfolio?
Absolutely. Saal Digital Photo Books are the choice of professional photographers for portfolios thanks to precise ICC colour management, premium photographic paper, and layflat binding that guarantees impeccable presentations. You can choose between matte, glossy, or silk finishes depending on your work's style, and add custom covers with your branding.
Where are Saal Digital Photo Books manufactured?
All our albums are produced in our own photographic laboratory in Germany, using materials from certified European suppliers. This enables us to maintain complete quality control, offer rapid production times (1-2 working days), and minimise the carbon footprint of transportation. We do not outsource production to third parties.
May I use my own ICC colour profiles in the albums?
We offer ICC colour profiles for all our surfaces. You can simply download the specific ICC profile, apply it in external software such as Photoshop or Lightroom, and use that to adjust the expected final result.
Is there a spell check tool?
Our software includes a spell check function. Detected errors are underlined in red. You can also add words to your personal dictionary.
How do I change the format of my Photo Book?
Save your Photo Book. Then, under Article, select Convert article and choose a format. Keep the same number of pages and save the project under a new name.
