I ordered a family photo book and appreciated the multiple paper and binding choices that let me customize it nicely. The app was intuitive and the whole process took less than two weeks from start to finish. Support answered my questions quickly when I asked about color calibration. Would definitely use again.

I’ve been using Blurb for over a year now to publish travel photo books that I sell online. The customization options let me experiment with different formats and papers to match the vibe of each trip. Last month’s book had a glossy finish that really enhanced the space shots. Occasionally the upload process gets slow when dealing with large image files but nothing that ruins the experience. The ability to order proof copies before committing to a large batch is a lifesaver, especially as a small business owner. I’ve compared them to other self-publishing sites and Blurb offers the best print quality hands down.

I like how easy it is to design photo books on Blurb, especially with their drag and drop editor. I wish they had more modern templates though because some look a bit dated. Also, shipping took longer than expected during the holiday season which delayed a gift book I ordered. Still, the final print was crisp and the colors vibrant, so I’m mostly happy.

I had some trouble with the page layout and reached out to customer support. They were friendly and resolved my issue, but took almost two days to get back to me. The print ended up great though, so it was worth the wait. Still, faster responses would be appreciated for tight deadlines.

I’m a freelance photographer and Blurb’s platform helped me create a professional-looking portfolio that I can easily update. It took me a weekend to design the layout using their templates and I appreciated the range of paper options. The print quality exceeded my expectations and clients have been really impressed. I also liked that they have worldwide shipping which saved me a lot of hassle. Definitely a solid choice if you want something unique and well-made.

The design tool crashed twice when uploading my photos.

I ordered a custom photo book to showcase my wedding shots, and it arrived looking stunning. The paper quality really made the images pop and the binding felt sturdy. Took about 10 days from order to delivery, which was fine for me.

The editor is quite flexible but sometimes lagged on my Mac. Upload speeds could be better as well. Overall the quality of print makes up for the glitches but I hope they fix performance soon.

The photo quality is impressive and colors are vibrant. However, I found the shipping fees a bit high, especially for international delivery. Still happy with the final product though.
