From Template to Personal Masterpiece

From Template to Personal Masterpiece

There’s a moment after every trip when the adventure ends, but the memories are just beginning to take shape. Instead of letting your travel photos disappear into your camera roll, imagine turning them into something you can hold: a personal coffee table book filled with the moments that mattered most.

With Saal Digital’s new AI technology, you can design a beautiful custom cover in under a minute, thanks to our Predesigned Photo Books and the AI tools that are integrated into our software.

Step 1: Start with a predesigned template

Choose a Hardcover Photo Books, select the Predesigned design method and browse our Destinations Collection. Choose a design that already fits your trip, or pick one you love and make it your own; with Saal, every element is always fully customisable.

Step 2: Adjust the colours

Not quite right? Change the background colour to better match your photos and destination.

Step 3: Design your own clipart

Don't love the cliparts already on the template? Go to Cliparts > Create it with AI to design your own in seconds.

Simply enter a prompt describing what you're picturing. For a polished, editorial coffee table book look, keep it minimal. For example, our prompt was: “A bold, flat vector illustration of a Hawaiian Yellow Hibiscus flower in a minimalist cartoon style”.

Step 4: Add your headline

Choose a title that captures your trip! By clicking the text that’s already there, you can simply edit it or also change the font and colour. Your trip, your choice.
