How to Make a Google Photo Book

You’ve captured the best moments from your recent trip, family gatherings, or pets. While online photo albums on your desktop or cell phone are convenient, there’s something special about flipping through a vibrant printed photo book. With RapidStudio, you can easily transform your Google Photos into a professionally printed photo book.

Getting Started with Your Photo Book

RapidStudio provides user-friendly online tools to artfully arrange your favourite photos. Simply select your images, organise them, and bring your memories to life. Here’s how to get your photos from Google Photos into our design tool:

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Open Google Photos

2. Download a Single Photo

Click on the photo you want to download so it enlarges.
Move your cursor to the three dots in the top-right corner of the page.
Select ‘Download’ from the drop-down menu.

3. Download Multiple Photos

Select photos by clicking the little circle in the top-left corner of each image.
Alternatively, hold down the Shift key, left-click the mouse to select a group of photos, and then click the three dots to choose ‘Download’.

4. Manage Photos in Google Drive

Click on the gear icon in the top-right corner of Google Photos.
Select Settings.
Scroll to "Create a Google Photos folder".
Check the box that says ‘Automatically put all my photos into my Google Photos folder’.
Click ‘Done’.

Photos will be categorized by year in your Google Drive. To download an entire folder, click the three dots and select ‘Download’.

5. Upload Photos to RapidStudio
