Why DIY photo book PDFs
Services like Apple Photos, Snapfish, Blurb and Mixbook are built around their own print pipelines. That means you’re tied to their pricing, paper choices and shipping times. If you want a small batch printed locally, or want to compare prices between print services, a PDF you made yourself is the better fit.
Exposure handles the design, which is the part most people find intimidating, and produces a clean PDF that any print service accepts. You stay in control of where and how the book gets printed.
