If you can't wait to lose that experience of picking up a book, sitting in an armchair and reviewing photos from the past, Google has found a formula for you. And it is that its printing service and creation of physical albums arrives in Spain. Now you can create your own photo albums from your computer or even from your mobile phone and receive it in physical format, with high quality and a simple and elegant design directly at home. Of course, the service has a price of between 13 and 23 euros, but we can touch any of our photos from Google Photos.
Just access Google Photos from your Android or iPhone mobile, or do it from your computer through this link. In the applications, in the Wizard tab, we now find the function create Photobook, with which to start from scratch with the project. Or choose one of the albums offered by the Google photo service. The good thing is that we have at hand all the snapshots that we have been capturing and storing in this never-ending cloud of photos and videos.
As we said, it is possible to start a photo book from scratch This involves choosing the cover image and title. And add photos to complete the 20 pages that it proposes as standard. To do this, you just have to click on the icon of the photos in the project and select the desired ones from the gallery that is already in the service.Of course, we can choose which page each one will go on, choosing the order and position.
Another, much more comfortable option is to choose one of the Google Photos suggestions The service offers albums with selections of photos chosen around to different situations, people or locations. It is possible that, since you consult the printing service for the first time, you will find an album called The best of spring 2018. Or album suggestions around your holidays in Barcelona, or regarding contacts. Just like the rest of the projects, although they are pre-created, they can be modified and adapted to whatever you want: change the image and design of the cover and name, the order of the photos, etc.
By the way, Google Photos automatically checks the album to make sure there are no duplicate photos and that all selected images count with sufficient quality for printing.That is why this second automatic format is the most comfortable option, since we only have to confirm the automatic decisions of Google Photos.
Available album types
Although the two current album formats available in Google Photos have 20 pages, it is possible to add more sheets. Both allow a maximum of 100 pages, increasing with each the final price of the resulting album, of course. These are the two formats that Google Photos already offers in its photo book creation service:
- Photo album of soft cover 18 x 18 centimeters. 20 pages expandable up to 100, with a price of 0.49 euros each extra page. The price is 13 euros in its format with 20 pages.
- Photo album of Hardcover 23 x 23 centimeters. 20 pages for a price of 23 euros. Expandable up to 100 pages maximum at a price of 0.69 euros each extra sheet.
Of course, you have to know that these prices include VAT but not shipping costs The payment process is carried out by card credit or debit card like any other purchase on the Internet. A secure process that we can carry out from the mobile when entering the payment method. Something that makes it simple and allows us to create these albums at any time and place without depending on a computer.
