How does Story Mode work?

Story Mode is the best online photo book maker and generates a fully designed book based on your design preferences throughout the experience. Here's how it works:

1. Download or open the Mixbook app

2. Answer a few questions. Tell Story Mode your preferences for style, tone, and how much text you’d like included.

3. Upload your photos. Select photos directly from your device.

4. Choose your design. Story Mode generates fully designed books based on your design preferences throughout the experience

5. Review it. Fine-tune, swap photos, or adjust layouts in Mixbook Studio™ - or leave it exactly as is.

6. Print it. When you're happy with your book, place your order and Mixbook handles the rest.

Is Story Mode Free?

Yes! Story Mode is an online photo album maker and is available in the free Mixbook app for iPhone and iPad (iOS). There are no additional fees to create a photo book with Story Mode—simply download the app, upload your photos, and let AI help bring your story to life.

While Story Mode is free, you'll need to purchase your photo book to get a professionally printed copy delivered to your door.

Can I edit my photo book after Story Mode creates it?

Absolutely. You're always in control.

Once your book is generated, you can open it in Mixbook Studio™ and edit anything you like. This includes photos, layouts, captions, colors, fronts, page count, and cover design. Story Mode helps you get started faster, but the final book is always yours.

How much will my book cost?

It depends on size, cover type, paper type, and page count. Pricing is shown before checkout.

Can I use discount codes for books created with Story Mode?

Yes, any discount codes can be applied at checkout.

What types of photo books can Story Mode create?

Story Mode can create any Mixbook photo book type, including Softcover, Hardcover, Layflat, and Premium Layflat Albums. It supports all available book sizes; however, at this time, Story Mode creates books in the square orientation only.
