Let’s start this year with some long-awaited features that you have been asking for!
We’ve added the option to select separate cover and back photos, or you can still stretch one photo over the entire spread.
And how about selecting a pixel-perfect crop out of your cover photo? Not a problem anymore with the new Photo Crop option!
The Basic mode Preview step has been cleaned up and we have added the option to add a special introduction page with text for your book.
When a photo caption just isn’t enough, you can add more text with the revised text editor.
We’ve also improved the support for languages with non-Latin alphabets or scripts (Japanese, Chinese, Cyrillic, …), making Poyomi a truly international product. The interface has also been re-designed slightly and the whole site should function even more smoothly.
Stay tuned for updates on the new book formats! And they’re already available right now.

Previously, we have limited the availability of world wide shipping to orders that contained less than 300 pages. We are happy to announce that this limit has been lifted and that FedEx (Economy or Priority) shipping is now available as well.
You can check the shipping prices on the revised pricing and shipping page.

Want to set your own custom logo on the back cover page of your book? Now you can! Create a new book branding in your Poyomi account. You can use it across any number of books you design. Also available is empty branding, with no logos or additional text.
Note: you have to be signed in with Poyomi to use custom designs, but you can select the empty branding option without being signed in. Check the branding selection screen for pricing information.

Have to sleep on your still not complete book? Want to edit in on another computer? Really need to save something just to be sure? Well, now you can! We have added the often requested option to save books for later editing. Look for the photo book menu in the upper right corner.
You’ll need to Sign In to your Poyomi.com account to use this feature. On your Account page, you’ll be able to continue with arranging your latest photo book.
We’ve also added back the mass photo caption editor with the added option of removing all captions, in case they are unneeded.
More summer features are on their way!
Posted: June 13th, 2011 |
As promised, here is our big summer update with lots of exciting new features that you have asked for!
Accounts
You can now register and Sign In to Poyomi. By doing this you can keep track of your books in a single place. Expect more features that will require an account, so Sign Up today!
Advanced mode
We’re known for our simple approach to photo books, but sometimes you just need more control. With the new Advance mode, this is now possible. Assemble building blocks into your own book, add text pages with full page background photos and expanded photos that span to the very borders of pages. You can also simply drag and drop blocks around to reorder them to your liking. Switch to the Advanced mode by clicking on its icon in the upper right corner.
Text editor
Text pages were one of the most often requested feature, and here they are! Select from color themes, typographies, alignments and add a cool full page photo and make a great introduction for your book. Or create a really big book with several chapters and photo collections – great for photo books from long holidays!
Note: this is currently available only in the Advanced Mode. Simple Mode version coming soon!
Self publishing
Want to sell your photo books? Now you can! Create a book at Poyomi and publish it with MagCloud. They offer print and digital distribution and many options for self-promotion. Contact us for more information!
Note: You need accounts both at Poyomi and MagCloud.
Publish to iPad
By Publishing to MagCloud (see above) and choosing free digital distribution, your book will also appear in MagCloud’s free iPad application! Contact us for more information!
More!
With this update we have established a great basis for added features and we’ll have more updates in the coming weeks. First features to be added are the option to save books to your account while they are still in the editing phase and custom branding options. A Poyomi account will be required for both of these features. If you have an idea for some more, leave us a message!

Going forwards from the very successful 2010 Christmas sale, we’re planning on listening to your feedback and introducing new features that will help you create a great photo book.
A random list of most called for features that will be introduced in the coming months:
Text-only pages: a full text editor is in works
A special photo for the cover: one which doesn’t appear in the book
Custom branding: no Poyomi logo, upload your own
More photo positioning options
Advanced book editing: mix different assembly methods, insert text pages, blanks, select themes for each of these, …
More cover photo positioning options
Self-publishing: offer your book for sale on MagCloud
As some of these require a lot of behind-the-scenes work, we’ll be dormant with the little incremental updates, instead focusing on the big package.
If you’ve got some more ideas that we didn’t cover, don’t hesitate to contact us.
