Poyomi: Big Summer Update June 13, 2011
Poyomi, our book creation service, has received a lot of new exciting features! You can also read a bit more about its technical background.
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!
