Creating a personalised photobook at RapidStudio is quick, easy, and fun. Here's how to go from zero to a finished book in seven simple steps.
Step 1: Choose your photobook
Go to rapidstudio.co.za and click on Photobooks. Choose your type — Softcover, Hardcover, or Ultimate Album — then select your size.
Step 2: Pick a theme and start designing
You'll be taken to the editor with our recommended theme already applied. If you'd like to try a different look, browse our full range of themes before you start. Once you're happy, click Create Your Own to open the editor.
Step 3: Upload your photos
Use the image tool in the editor to upload your photos. You can upload from:
- Your computer
- Your phone (scan the QR code shown in the editor)
- Your RapidStudio gallery (previously uploaded photos)
Step 4: Build your pages
Drag your photos into the page layouts. You can choose from a wide range of layout options, change backgrounds, and mix and match page designs throughout the book. Everything is customisable.
Step 5: Add the finishing touches
Use the editing tools to fine-tune each page — adjust photo borders, add personalised text and captions, change fonts and colours, and make it your own. Take your time here — this is where the personality of your book comes through.
Step 6: Save your progress
Your design saves automatically as you work, so you can close the editor at any time and pick up exactly where you left off. To access your saved designs, go to My Projects in your account.
Don't have an account yet? You'll be prompted to create one when you first save — it's free and only takes a minute.
Step 7: Preview and order
When you're happy with every page, click Preview to do a final check, then Add to Cart and follow the checkout steps. We'll take it from there — your photobook will be printed and on its way to you within 3 to 5 working days.
