facebook is one of the world’s most popular social networking platforms with over 250 million users around the world. People use the website to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, post links and videos. As Facebook starts to incorporate into part of our lives, an increasing number of people tend to post photos on their walls to share them with their friends rather than on their personal blogs because of its tagging features.
Based in Barcelona, Spain, Pixable is a MIT start-up which enables users to create and print photo books using their Facebook content. It offers a fast, easy and creative way to transform your Facebook albums into printed memorabilia such as photo books, calendars, or posters, which are printed, packaged and home delivered, all at an affordable price. In just 5 minutes, you’re able to create a beautiful, personal and unique photo book using Pixable’s full artistic features combined with additional Facebook content.
There are actually quite a number of different ways you can make use of Pixable. For example, you can design a photo book with all pictures of both you and your girlfriend, accompanied with captions or comments left by friends. Give it as a present to her and I’m pretty sure she will love it a lot!
Pixable is founded by 3 tech enthusiasts – Inaki Berenguer, Andres Blank and Alberto Sheinfeld. The folks there started this company because they knew hundreds of people who want to print photo books using content on Facebook but currently have no efficient way to do so.
Why use Pixable?
Sometimes, we just missed the traditional way of photo albums – sitting on the couch, enjoying a cup of hot coffee and flipping through the pages one by one. If you would like to have you and your friends on a photo album, downloading photos individually from Facebook, visiting a photo-printing site and waiting for your photo album to arrive at your doorstep is indeed time-consuming and tedious.
Dubbed as the ‘fastest online photo book creator’, Pixable lets you print your Facebook photos and content in just 5 minutes. Of course, this excludes the time needed to ship the printed album to your destination, which probably takes less than 5 working days. Each photo album starts from $4.99, depending on the size and quality of your photos and albums.
Besides focusing on speed and efficiency, the folks at Pixable also take user experience into consideration. It provides a simple, easy-to-use user-interface filled with useful features and requires no additional software downloads. Some of the impressive features it offers include the ability for users to access additional content, such as who is tagged in the photo or comments left by friends. Pixable can search pictures based on who appears in that photo or can use entire albums already organized on FB. Photos on Facebook are already organized in many different ways – by person, by event / trip, by album name, by tagging. There is no need to replicate the process of organizing photos when Facebook does it for you.
