If you have an Apple Mac, unfortunately you won't be able to use our editor. However, we have a range of alternatives ideally suited to designing your project.
The options are listed on the right of this page. If you have any queries about any of the options please email us at tech-support@fotobook.co.uk.

We have a FotobookPRO service which involves creating a PDF using software such as Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress. More details on the service can be found on the FotobookPRO page.
When you have a completed project you can send it to us either via our MailBigFile service, or burn it to a CD or DVD and post it to our FREEPOST address. Details for both methods can be found on the left hand side of this page.
If you have Adobe Photoshop for the Apple Mac you can create the individual pages of your project giving you complete control over the design and content.
We have a full set of Photoshop Templates and Cover Templates available to download which will help you with image and text positioning, margins and areas covered by the binding process.
Please name your Adobe Photoshop pages with the page numbers to avoid any delay with your project eg. page_01, page_02 etc. and save them as 300dpi JPEGS.
If you are sending your files to us via MailBigFile we would recommend archiving them into a .sit, .zip or .rar files first, as MailBig File doesn't support multiple files.
If you have the latest version of Apples Aperture software (version 2.1.2) you may be aware that you can create Photo Books. Up until now their book sizes were different to ours, making it impossible to send your project via Fotobook. Now with their new custom sizing feature you can enter the exact size that we would need to send us a PDF version - click on screenshot to the left for the size to enter for a Large Photo Book.
This feature is still very much a work in progress, so if you have any queries please email us.
When you have a completed project you can send it to us either via our MailBigFile service, or burn it to a CD or DVD and post it to our FREEPOST address. Details for both methods can be found on the left hand side of this page.
