Enjoybook is a family handmade photobook with a unique design.
In the world, everything is unsteady and changeable. Just yesterday, the baby mastered the first steps, and today he received a diploma and gets married, yesterday her mother was young and energetic, and today her hair is shiny gray, and in the eyes there is a deep female wisdom. If the milestones of a family’s life are not photographed, then great-great-grandchildren may never know how beautiful their great-great-grandmother was and how strong and courageous their great-great-grandfather was. People leave, and photos remain. Therefore, choosing a gift idea is worth remembering. about the tradition of family albums, but in a more modern version. These criteria correspond Enjoybook.
What it is?
Previously, photo albums were in every family, they were protected, they were cherished. They were shown to all guests. Not having the opportunity to have a beautiful album, rough cardboard villages with cuts were lovingly decorated on their own - they would draw monograms with a felt-tip pen, make signatures, draw frames. When the pages in the album ended, they glued a paper pocket to the cover and began to fold the photos there. In most families, each album covered at least 4-5 generations.
Now in the digital age, photo albums are a rarity. Everything is on the page on social networks, in the computer. Very comfortably. But something important has gone, the main thing: the emotions and feelings that we experienced, flipping through the pages of the album and remembering ourselves small, seeing our parents as young. The bond of generations was felt in every picture, it was warm at heart.
But recently there has been a tendency to return interest in family albums. Thus was created a unique resource Enjoybook. This is a photo book with an unusual design. The creators of the resource (apparently, big fans of good old family albums, like most of us) came up with a very simple online designer that will allow you to go back to basics - download any digital photos from social networks or folders on your computer and make them beautiful book with an unusual cover-collage with a tenderloin. The album will help keep the most important memories for you.
How does it work?
It works very simple and extremely clear:
go to the Enjoybook website, in the right side of the page at the top, we find the button “I want a photobook!” (it won't take long to search, the button is clearly visible, immediately catches the eye);
a constructor program opens, offering you to upload photos;
upload the necessary photo memories and flip through the resulting album absolutely free, its electronic version, if you don’t like something, go back to edit mode and change (add, remove) the photos;
pay for the order;
waiting for delivery, if necessary, maintaining contact with call center specialists.
And now let's see more. Before you upload photos that seem to be the best in the world, you need to look at the picture through the eyes of a printer and photo designer. But the fact is that there is a backlight on the computer or tablet screen, and therefore your pictures look brighter than they really are.
To understand how the pictures will look in reality, so that later there will be no disappointment, you should turn down the screen brightness to 30%.
The best print size is 2200 px (on the large side of the photo). The minimum size is 1500 px. If it so happens that the photos that are very expensive to you are stored in the worst quality (less than 1000 pixels), then the Enjoybook designer will definitely warn about this.But it will be only a warning, not a refusal to insert the specified snapshot into the collage or as a separate snapshot. Just because “forewarned is forearmed”.
The Enjoybook specialists, who developed the designer, recommend putting high-resolution photos as separate photos, and combining and grouping low-quality images into a collage, where high resolution is not critical. If you take a photo from social networks, it will be preferable to combine them into a collage, since some networks, for example, Instagram, noticeably reduce and compress users' pictures.
Preview is very convenient - you will see a real album, look through it with a mouse, evaluate the location of pictures on pages and spreads. You will have a complete idea of how the real album will look like, which you will get your hands on in case of an order. If you don't like it, you can not make an order - no one takes money for the work of the designer as such.
So you can arrange your wedding photos or bring together all the frames of children, for example, for the next birthday of a child, you can arrange a photo report about an exciting journey, you can make an album about everyday life and family holidays. You can make an album as a gift to someone, for this it will be enough to go to a friend's page on social networks, make a selection of his pictures and order an original photo book. Such a gift will not leave anyone indifferent.

Reviews
Enjoybook reviews are quite a few, and it is recommended to get acquainted with them. Those who were satisfied with the acquisition, indicate that the site is very convenient and easy to use, it is easy for people who are not “strong” in computers (for example, retirees). The cover is very original, its design with “windows” looks amazing.
Among the shortcomings indicate the impossibility to leave a caption under the photograph, for example, indicate the date of the trip or the name of the settlement where the frames were taken.
Among the real anti-recalls are many stories of professional photographers who tried to arrange their wedding albums in the same way. Despite the fact that the pictures were taken on a professional camera, at the exit the customers received an album with very hard, fuzzy photos. They point out that the quality of photo printing Enjoybook leaves much to be desired, and it is impossible to agree with the staff on the alteration of the marriage - they refuse to correct the defects. There are many reports that the company sometimes violates the promised delivery time, and therefore the photo book sometimes arrives later than the celebration took place, and the gift no longer seems so wonderful. True, these reviews relate to the period until 2018. This year, according to Enjoybook owners, these points are corrected: the company improves service every year and seeks to reduce dependence on third-party companies.
