Motif is an app that lets users turn their photos into photo books, calendars, cards, and canvases. The app employs smart technology to curate users’ photos, finding their best images, hiding duplicates, and more. Motif’s Autoflow feature places those curated images into beautifully designed layouts in seconds. Users can then personalize with text and design elements. Motif works seamlessly on both Mac desktop/laptops as well as iPhones and iPads. RR Donnelley, Motif’s parent company, was a trusted premier print supplier to Apple when they offered printed photo products. Every Motif photo project is produced to the same exacting standards as Apple’s were.Download for desktop Download for mobile Create Your ProjectFollow Us on Our Blog 👇Get Our Best Tips

Motif contacted me about an issue with the cover of my book
In which the writing was not appearing correctly
As a result I made a different book and they did not put the order through on the one with the bad cover
This was greatly appreciated!
This was my first experience at using the Motif app with Apple Photos to create an album book. The app was fairly easy to use and for the most part very intuitive. The only problem I had was moving photos form one location to another, and keeping track of photos I wanted to add or subtract from the album. I believe there could be a better way to do this. I chose the hardback version of the album and I was very pleased with the image quality of the printing. Turn around time was only a few days. Overall, I would definitely recommend this app to anyone wanting to produce a photo album.
We have made ten 10X10 hardcover Motif photo books over the last two years (and also given away a couple as gifts). They are a wonderful way to relive our experiences, especially trips and other highlights that occur over the course of a year. It's also a lot of fun sitting with your partner in front of the computer picking the photos, laying out the pages, and seeing it all come together. We've found the product easy to use and powerful in terms of how much we can do and so quickly. And the books are beautiful!

This is my second project with Motif. Absolutely awesome product. Delivery within 4 days was unbelievable! 80 pages with over 220 photos plus script. Quality of paper, presentation, colour and photos was first class. Easy to use and edit. I would not hesitate to recommend this produce to anyone! Can’t wait to start my next project!! Thank you all at Motif for a five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ product and service!
Errors found. Web site doesn’t give enough options for text discription. No option to highlight specific errors. You must find them yourself. Motif was much better and easier to use Wouldn’t use you again.

Thank you for your feedback. While we currently do not have an option to highlight specific errors, we strive to prevent other issues, such as photos being cut off. If you could provide more details on the types of errors you would like to see addressed, such as spell check errors, we would greatly appreciate it. Your input is valuable to us, and we would be happy to take it into consideration for future improvements.

Liked the photo quality and ease of use creating a photobook. My one frustration was that despite MOTIF being an app compatible with Apple, I'm not able to "press and hold to display the accent menu". My text captions use French place names so I have to use a clumsy copy/paste workaround to achieve the correct spelling of French words.
Very easy to creat a photo book form Apple photos.
It was easy to create a photo book with Motif using a selection of photos within my Apple Photos app. When I got stuck due to a software issue the Motif team fixed it and emailed me.
Enjoy creating with Motif. Mostly I really enjoy creating with…
Mostly I really enjoy creating with Motif and the result is terrific, but I do get frustrated over the importing of photos as many times the photo I want to import doesn't show up. I would also like a broader choice of backgrounds as I make a book for someone each year and have to repeat the designs.
Format is very user friendly. Easy to understand and easy to use.
One downside. The advertised 20% discount (Fathers Day) apparently does not apply to Canadian customers. The discount code was not accepted at checkout. Why bombard us with ads if the discount is not applicable?
