Snap MyLife Creations Reviews

PLEASE NOTE: SnapMyLife Creations (a/k/a Inkubook) is now closed as of 1/7/2013. An email was sent out in advance to those who signed up for an account, but to my knowledge unfortunately old projects can no longer be accessed.

UPDATE 5/1/2012: Inkubook is now Snap MyLife Creations. Snap MyLife, Inc. purchased the photo book company in January 2012 and has rebranded the site and updated the online software used to create its photo books.

Inkubook was founded in 2008, and is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The company is associated with Author Solutions - which is "the world's leading self-publisher (publishing 1 of every 17 books)" according to Inkubook's site.

Inkubook's book building tools are online, but using the software does require a download of a free program called Microsoft Silverlight. The software works on both PC and Mac (but not PowerPC Macs).

The software offers approximately 250 templates. The templates cannot be altered - making the software most similar to companies such as Snapfish and Shutterfly (in contrast to companies that allow for full customization of layouts such as Picaboo and Mixbook for example). UPDATE 4/19/2012 - Inkubook's software now allows for customizable layouts.

The book making process starts with uploading your photos. You then select the number of photos you want to place on any given page and then select a pre-designed template (or make your own) and then drag and drop your photos into the template.

Inkubook is also one of the few photo book companies that allows for collaboration. You can invite friends to work on the book with you so they can upload their photos into your project. I haven't tried Inkubook's collaboration process before, but it doesn't appear that friends can actually work on the book itself - only contribute photos and text. The person that invites other contributors retains control over what to include or not include in the project.

Inkubook prints a small logo on the back cover of your book, but you can contact the company to ask them to remove the logo at no charge.

There are 5 different sizes in hardcover and softcover options, totaling 8 different possible options. Landscape, square and portrait books are available. Click this link to see Inkubook's photo book options and prices.

Unique Features and Tips about Inkubook

The price of your book is based on page ranges - so if you're up to 22 pages, you may as well make up to 40 pages because you'll pay the same price!
Inkubook's prices are on the more affordable side of the spectrum when looking at comparable types of books.
As of April 2011, the spine of hardcover books can be titled.
