Pressbook turns the photos on your phone into magazine albums, collages, and carousels — finished on your device, never uploaded to us. Share any of them from one place. Seal one as a Memory Capsule when you want everyone to open it together on the day. Share your work. One Share panel for albums, collages, and carousels — share a live memory, send a file, save images, export a PDF, or make a Reel. Invite privately with full comments and reactions, or open a public link for reactions only. Guests open in Pressbook on their own device through your iCloud. Sharing is free for everyone. Reels for Stories and social. Turn an album into a silent slideshow reel, a collage into a layer build-up, or a carousel into a continuous swipe or build reel — ready for Stories, Reels, and TikTok. Reactions and comments. On a private shared memory, everyone can react and leave a short note. On multi-page albums, reactions can sit on each page. Owners see who joined and can send an update when the work changes. Memory Capsule. Seal a share until a birthday, anniversary, or any day you choose. Guests see the same countdown. On the day it opens for everyone together. You can still edit as the owner and push updates anytime. What you can make Photo albums and photo books. Multi-page albums that read like a printed magazine. Auto layout or pick each design. Flip with a page curl. Export a 600 DPI PDF for print. Video carousels. Two to ten panels you swipe through, with photos and video across the cuts. Export as sliced images, one video, or a carousel Reel. Collages. One composition from several photos, sized for a feed or story. Video clips work too. Export a still or a build-up Reel. How it works Pressbook reads your photos on your phone and builds the story — time, place, best burst frame, faces kept, people balanced. A fullness slider sets how full each page feels. Your photos stay private. Made on your phone. No sign-up. Nothing uploaded to us for making the work. Shared copies move through your iCloud to people you invite only. More you can do Camera viewfinders, film strips, Polaroid, Instax, and stamps live in Frames. Date stamps use the photo day or today, in Digital, Stamp, or Film. Built-in sticker library. 593 stickers in ten packs. Search, recolor white doodles, or lift a cut-out from a photo. 249 hand-designed templates with live preview. Edit the easy way. Move photos, group layers, text, borders, Apple Pencil, smart guides, curved text, photo fill. Built for iPhone — widgets, Live Activities, Spotlight, Shortcuts. Tips & Tricks in Settings is a searchable field guide. Continue and Coming up help you pick up where you left off. Free and Pro Free: albums up to 20 photos, standard quality, small watermark.

A searchable field guide for every surface. Open it from Settings. • Camera viewfinders. Digicam, camcorder, rangefinder, SLR, sports finder, TLR, iPhone, and square screen. Drop one on a photo or clip. Digicam and camcorder follow the capture date. • Film, paper, and stamps. Dual-strip and 35mm pages keep their windows lined up. Polaroid, Instax, torn edges, and date stamps with Digital, Stamp, or Film style. • 593 stickers in ten packs, including Café & Pets. Search, recolor white doodles, or lift a cut-out from a photo. • Home and the album grid use the new system glass bar. Select works like Photos: Select All, a count, and Done. • Shadow presets stay readable in Dark Mode. Overlay chrome wraps the photo. Quieter editor, share sheet, and export. ### 1.2.8 — 2026-08-11 New in this version: • One Share panel for everything — albums, collages, and carousels open the same glass sheet: share a live memory, send a file, save images, export a PDF, or make a Reel. • Reels for Stories and social — turn an album into a silent slideshow, a collage into a layer build-up, or a carousel into a continuous swipe (or build) reel. Keeps rendering if you leave the app briefly. • Private or public memory sharing — invite people for full comments and reactions, or open a public link for reactions only. Switch modes without losing who you invited. • Pick up where you left off — Continue and Coming up on the home All tab, plus a resume toast when you return. • Glass chrome throughout — scroll-driven nav on home and album grid, unified sheet bars and primary CTAs, smoother motion and toast enter/exit. • Sharing polish — clearer access-ended alerts, upright shared album strip thumbs, real names for joiners, faster manage panel, stickers that load reliably, and quieter reliability fixes across editor, reader, and export. ### 1.2.7 — 2026-08-06 New in this version: • Photos appear right away — page previews and the reader show your pictures as soon as a soft frame is ready, then quietly sharpen. No more empty camera placeholders while iCloud finishes. • Album thumbs stay ready — full-album page previews without leaving and coming back; sharper pages upgrade in place. • Smarter photo swapping — template frames and borders stay put; crop, filter, and rotation move with the photo. • Adjust crop and shuffle that keep your work — pan when the frame is edge-filled; layout changes no longer wipe rotation, crop, or filters. • Undo after Done, full-quality export, and reliability polish throughout the editor and reader. ### 1.2.6 — 2026-07-28 New in this version: • Liquid Glass filter tray — lift and scrub through filters with a pure system glass dock, animated swap into multi-select, and a centered iPad layout. • Shared albums stay put — fixes for projects vanishing after updates, empty page recovery, and more reliable CloudKit share refresh. • When someone ends a share, guests get a clear “Access ended” notice (with optional notification) instead of a silent empty shelf. • Clean up Shared Capsules storage in Settings — multi-select leave/unshare with durable CloudKit retry if the network blips. • Phone-number share invites and invite-open reliability improvements, plus general polish and bug fixes. ### 1.2.5 — 2026-07-26 New in this version: • Albums close on a real colophon endpaper — the album title, photo count, date range, and imprint on the book’s own paper, matching the opening title leaf. • Sharper contrast on Save, Share, and copper controls in light and dark mode so labels stay readable on every surface. • Editorial reading no longer closes when you swipe down the page — same as classic page-curl. Use Close (or the black margin on your own albums). • Cleaner title-page frontispiece without scrapbook corner pockets, plus quieter polish on sheets, toasts, and export bars. • Bug fixes and performance improvements. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
