When it comes to storing your family photos during the spring festival or holidays, you might find it quite time-consuming to manage those images. Or perhaps you simply want to create a professional-looking photo album that can be viewed on any computer with just one executable file. In that case, AlbumDIY software is a top choice for you.
The standout feature of this program is that it is completely free. The program is 5.6MB in size and compatible with all current Windows operating systems. You can download it from the following address: http://www.snapfiles.com/download/dlalbumdiy.html.
Once you have downloaded and activated the program, the Welcome to AlbumDIY dialog will appear. If you want to create a new album, click on Create a new album. The program will immediately take you to the main album creation interface, and the New album wizard dialog will appear at the top left of the main program window. Here are a few important points to consider:
– Click on 3D-Like if you want your album to have a striking 3D style.
– The Left border design option will help you create a beautiful spine for your album with many available templates.
– The Convert texture design option allows you to create an album cover with various themes to impress viewers when they open the album.
– After creating the external appearance of your album, you should save your work. To do this, click on the Add to my favorite option in the program.
– You can also delete any albums you created in the previous step if they are not necessary by selecting the album name under My favorite scheme and clicking the Remove from my favorite option in the program.
After successfully completing the above steps, click the Next button to move on to the next step. A new dialog box will appear; if you need to further decorate the cover of your album, pay attention to the following points:
– If you want to insert another image onto the album cover, check the Display object option, then select an image based on the themes provided in the Select object file section, and click OK to finish.
– To add text to the front cover of the album, check the Display title option, input the author’s name in the Display author field, and then enter the content in the corresponding blank fields below. You can also adjust the Font in the Font properties option within this dialog. After that, click Next to proceed.
Once you click Next, the program will take you to the Page Style design dialog, where you should focus on the following issues:
– You can confirm the background color of the album by selecting the Background Color option, choosing your preferred color, and clicking OK to finalize.
– You can create a background frame for each photo in your album by selecting All pages have same border, then choosing the frame you like best and clicking OK to confirm.
– If you wish to save time creating individual frames for each photo, you can select the random border option, allowing the program to automatically assign a frame for each photo in your album, making it look more visually appealing. Finally, click Next to proceed.
At this stage, select the Add image from a select folder option to choose images from your computer, and then click Finish to complete the process.
After selecting all the images you want, click on Add all to include the chosen images in your album, then click OK for the program to begin creating an attractive electronic album.
Once you have created an album filled with beautiful images, if you want to enhance the appeal of your slideshow, consider some interesting functions included in the program:
– To add captions to each photo during the slideshow, go to Insert => New Text, select the Fonts you wish to use, and input the text for each photo in the Please input text field.
– To insert additional images within each photo of the album, go to Insert => New ClipArt or Insert => New Image, then select an image based on the themes the program provides, and click OK to finish.
– To add some fun music to your slideshow, go to Insert => New MultiMedia, click on Select to choose a music track from your computer, and click OK to complete the process.
– Finally, the most important step is to “export” your album as an executable file. To do this, go to the program’s Tools menu, select Build/Distribute Album, then enter the path to save the file and the album name, and finally click Save to keep your “masterpiece.”
– A great feature of this program is that before saving, you can set a password to protect your album by clicking on Password protect created Album. Here, enter the password to open the album file in the Password field and click OK to complete the entire process.
