Have you been looking for an easy way to print and share your photos? Many users use Smilebox slideshows to quickly share photos from holidays or vacations with friends and family. Turning them into a book makes an attractive gift or a tangible souvenir to remind a loved one of cherished memories.<\/p>\n

Smilebox\u2019s popular slideshow option was previously only available to print as separate postcards, but there is now a simple option to print your slideshow as a photo book. I\u2019ve recently checked several companies for book printing comparisons and was pleased to discover that Smilebox\u2019s options are particularly affordable.<\/p>\n

In this article, I will walk you through each step of the easy process and show you the 3 book sizes to choose from to create your final product. Smilebox partners with Fuji to create high quality prints, ensuring a beautiful result.<\/p>\n

With Smilebox\u2019s print and ship to home service, the book will come straight to your door.<\/p>\n

Click on \u201cSlideshows,\u201d and you will be taken to a page with many template options for building your perfect slideshow.
