There's something special about having a physical reminder of a memorable time and place. Photo books are the perfect way to capture memories and reminisce about trips and adventures. The problem is, thousands of photos are trapped in our devices, making it more time-consuming and problematic to hang on to those memories. Mixbook is working to solve this dilemma with a smarter, faster way to create something photobook-worthy in just a few minutes.

Mixbook has announced the launch of its app, which utilizes AI technology to make it easier to curate trip photos from your iOS device and transform them into the ultimate keepsake. The process of finding and organizing the right photos can be extremely tedious, and the app sets out to solve this problem with an intuitive photo selection process that works behind the scenes to quickly locate and group the most relevant, quality photos on your device related to a particular trip or location.

In the time of analog photography, the process of buying film, taking photos, getting them printed, and arranging them in albums was very time consuming. This has changed with the advent of digital photography. Today, 1.72 trillion photos are taken every year, and with people switching from digital cameras to their smartphones, the average smartphone user has 2,100 photos on their phone. With the abundance of photos and constant technological updates, it's more often that people are overwhelmed with what to do with their keepsakes.

"We're thrilled to provide an easy and powerful way to solve this universal photo mess and help people transform their memories into beautiful stories. We're on a mission to empower creativity for users and make the process of creating photo books fun, no matter where you are," says Leslie Albertson, Director of Brand at Mixbook.

The Mixbook app quickly locates and groups relevant, related sets of travel photos on your mobile device for an auto-curated trip book that comes together in minutes. It ignores images that are low-quality, duplicates, or unrelated to the trip, which makes compiling photos even simpler. The app then uses its smart photo selection process, combined with theme and layout suggestions, to fit a user's specific trip photos. Additionally, thousands of sticker, background, layout, and font options are available for customers to mix and match to make the perfect, customized photo book. The end result is a fun, fast design experience for creating and sharing beautiful photo books from anywhere. Designed for any budget, customers can choose from basic softcover books to ultra-premium lay flat albums, but the classic hardcover books remain a Mixbook best-seller.

"Connecting through shared experiences and stories is becoming more and more important in today's digital world. We want to power that connection by providing an easy way to ensure that the most important people and moments aren't lost in time," said Albertson.
