About this app

The end date for this photobook app has been postponed from January 13, 2026. We will inform you as soon as the new end date is confirmed.

This photobook app, operated by "Shimauma Print" (with 6 million members as of August 2025), allows you to create photobooks starting from 298 yen!

It's widely used for photo albums, pet photo collections, birthday gifts for friends, and art collections such as illustrations.


【Three Key Points of the Photobook App】

① Selectable Cover Designs
Photobooks starting from 298 yen per book have been upgraded to be even more stylish!

The covers come in a variety of solid colors and themed designs.

A great feature is that there are no additional charges regardless of which cover you choose.

Photobook designs are updated regularly, so you can choose one to suit your purpose or the season.

② Increased Layout & Font Options
Want to place photos across the entire page? Arrange photos vertically? Add comments?
This is great news for those who want to create a photo book with attention to detail to preserve precious memories.
The number of layouts and font options has increased, greatly increasing the freedom of customization!
You can choose from over 20 photo book layouts, including photo-only and photo-with-comments layouts, and three fonts.

Recommended for first-time photo book creators, the "Light" comes with a wrap-around cover.
Perfect for gifts, the "Standard" features high-quality 6-color printing and a slightly glossy finish.
