What kind of images file format will work in Fizara Album Designer?
1. Fizara Album Designer accepts JPG or PNG files. PNGs should be 8-bit and non-interleaced. No TIFF, EPS, PDF, PICT, BMP, and GIF files.
2. Images should be in RGB or Grayscale (sRGB recommended; no CMYK).
Can I use an image for the background of my album layout?
Yes, you can create either a single page background or two-page spread background. Simply drag an image from the image library (located at the bottom of the screen) to a white space on the design area, then release the mouse button. A dialog box will prompt you to choose how to drop the image as the background.
How much trim should I expect on the cover of my Fizara acrylic cover album or cameo cover album?
1. No matter which cover type you’re planning to order, make sure that you keep important content of the image, at least 1/4 inch away from the edges to make sure that you don’t get that content trimmed off.
2. To visualize, first setup the grid by View > Setup Grid and set spacing to 18 pixels (i.e. each grid is 1/4 inch). Turn on the grid by View > Show Grid. Use your mouse to drag the image and/or zoom in/out to adjust the image’s position within the cover frame.
3. Be sure to keep important content at least another 3/4 inch (i.e. 1 grid when spacing is set to 54 pixels) away from the left edge as the leather material will partially cover left side of the image during album assembly.
Why is the cover image for acrylic cover or cameo cover album locked?
The cover image frame cannot be resized or removed in Fizara Ablum Designer. That is because the cover image may print poorly when the frame is resized. You can, however, move the mouse cursor to the center of the image, click and hold the mouse button to pan the image within the locked cover frame, in order to change the visible part of the image. You can also zoom in and zoom out to adjust the image size.
How do I create a new album using New Album Wizard?
1. If there is any open project, save and close it.
6. Follow the onscreen suggestions to select number of pictures from your hard drives.
7. Preview the pictures and re-order that you selected.
8. Optionally, you can create a caption for the first page. The front cover caption is disabled even though it appears to be a default option.
9. Finish and the New Album Wizard will automatically populate the selected images according to the theme of your choice.
How do I create a page layout template to reuse in Fizara Album Designer?
If you want to create a page layout that you can reuse with other album, this feature is for you.
Arrange the picture frame(s) on a single page with the help of the built-in tools such as Layout > Distribute Pictures orLayout > Alignment.
For precise control, right-click on the picture frame to bring up the context menu > Position and Size. Adjust the position and size to your liking. When you are satisfied with the page layout design, go to File > Save Page As Layout.
To quickly locate your custom design, go to the panel on the right side, open Page Layouts pane, use the pull down menu above to narrow down your selection based on the number of picture frames you have designed.
After you have located your page layout, simply drag and drop it for reuse in other album design.
How do I use my Fizara gift card?
Once you have the album(s) you want to order, proceed through the checkout process. On the “Shopping Cart” page, find the field marked “DISCOUNT CODES“, enter your gift certificate number (for example: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-ABCD). Do include those hyphens in between.
Once you’ve entered your code, click the “Apply Coupon” button to see how much, if any, is still owed for your order. If you have multiple gift certificate numbers, you may apply each number one by one. If the gift card’s balance is bigger than the cost of the order, no credit card information is required, and you can proceed directly to confirming your order.
If you’d like to check the remaining balance on your card, you can look it up here. You will need your gift certificate number and PIN which is sent to you by email.
You can always see how much is left on your gift card by looking up Check Fizara Gift Card Balance page. You will need to enter the card number and PIN which you will have received by email when ordering your eGift card or when receiving it as a gift from someone else.
Can I preview my Fizara Album before I send it to print?
Yes, and Fizara Album Designer can help you identify the design problems before sending it to print.
Use File > Preflight/Preview to bring up the Book Validation Report. Its main purpose is to identify the low resolution images. As a rule of thumb, a 150 DPI image should print fairly well, while a 300 DPI image should look just as good as a traditional photograph.
How do I use the trim guide in the Fizara Album Designer?
Do you want to know whether your contents will be trimmed near the edge of the page? Check View > Show Bleed to reveal where your pages will be trimmed during album production.
The first thing you will notice is the black borders. Any areas beyond the black borders will be trimmed. If you want a full bleed image on your page, be sure to arrange your photo so that it completely fills the page and shows no background at the edges.
The area beyond the black border, seen when View > Show Bleed is turned on, shows the area that will be trimmed away during the album production process.
In addition, all four of the page edges may be trimmed by another 1/5 inch. To avoid important part of the image being trimmed during album production, first set up grid by View > Set Up Grid to be 15 pixels (approximately 1/5 inch). Then View > Show Grid to reveal the grid. Try to place your image such that important part of it stays at least 1 grid away from the black border.
It takes 4 to 5 business days to produce photo books, and 10 to 15 business days to produce a professional grade flush mount album. Once your order is shipped we will send you the tracking number so that you will know when your album will arrive at your door. You can also check to see if your order has shipped by logging on to your account’s Order History on Fizara Albums Web Store.
How do I order my Fizara Album?
Once you have finished making your Fizara Album design, click File > Preflight/Preview to bring up Book Validation Report. If everything looks good and there are no low-resolution warnings, close the report and click the Send to Fizara button. This will initiate the process of preparing your project file to be uploaded to our server. You will be able to preview your project file before your purchase is completed.
Once your project file is created, a dialog box will come up where you will be able to view your project file in a format as it will be sent for printing. It is highly advisable that you proof your project files at this stage. Check for typographical errors, fonts used, missing or low quality images, or any element that may not be displayed properly on the page―anything that does not look right to you.
Once you have examined the files for errors and are satisfied, click the check box at the bottom of the dialog box and chooseContinue to upload your order to our server. Once the order is uploaded, you will be directed to a shopping cart.
The shopping cart page is where you can choose from a variety of cover materials, gilding options and companion albums. You can also preview how the cover image would look like if your album is of acrylic cover or cameo cover. Review the pricing of your album prior to ordering it.

Lay Flat Photo Books are printed on real silver halide Fuji Crystal Archive photographic paper to guarantee crisp, clear images, vibrant tones and accurate color reproduction.

Yes, of course. We will notify you and send you the tracking number when your order has shipped. You can also check to see if your order has shipped by logging into your account.
We count photo book and album pages the same way pages are numbered in a book or magazine. A page is one side of a sheet of paper. A spread is a set of pages viewed together, such as the two facing pages visible when you open a book. A page is measured from one edge of an open book to the center of the book, while a spread is the entire distance from one edge to the other. One spread is equal to two pages. Due to the way our lay flat photo book pages are printed, you must purchase two pages (one full spread) at a time.
Lay Flat Photo Books have a minimum of 20 pages/sides, and a maximum of 100 pages/sides.
Where do I select the color and type of material for my photo book cover?
You will choose the color and type of material for your photo book cover in the shopping cart during check out.

Can I order duplicate photo books of my wedding album for my parents?
No, we do not change your files or images. Because everyone’s taste is different, and many photographers apply special effects to their images, we don’t take the risk of making your images look different than the way you intended them to look. We only check to ensure that your order files were transmitted to us in their entirety.
Will my photo book or album have the Fizara logo or branding on it?
No. We recognize that you’ve worked hard to get and build a relationship with your clients, and you deserve all the credit when you present them with their masterpiece.
Copyright is a legal right created by the law of a country, that grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights to to copy, distribute, publicly display or create derivative works from the original work, with the intention of enabling the creator (e.g. the photographer of a photograph) to receive compensation for their intellectual effort.
A photograph is copyright protected from the moment it is created. This means that even if you purchase a print or digital file from your photographer, you still need to have the photographers permission before making reproductions.
The current copyright term is from the moment of creation and is ordinarily given a term enduring for the author’s life, plus an additional 70 years after the author’s death.
What are the most important things I should know about copyrights?
