Mixbook, one of the best photobook services, has a new update that offers a video service

Called Mixbook Movies, the new feature is a digital service that, according to the company, offers a “photobook experience in an engaging video format” Essentially, Mixbook will send you movies of all your shareable, AI-powered photos while you wait for your printed, physical digital book to arrive

Mixbook has also upgraded its creation platform, Mixbook Studio, adding many new features intended to facilitate customization

“At our core, we have a mission to empower creativity and help creators feel connected to their photos,” DJ Charles, Mixbook's CTO, said in a press release “Our new digital service allows users to bring their memories to life and experience photobooks in a highly engaging and personalized format We are excited to see how Mixbook Movies inspires users to create, share, and reminisce stories in a whole new way"

According to the Mixbook release, after purchasing a photobook, AI automatically creates a video using the photobook images This is intended to provide “an instant and sentimental way to experience their memories”

Movies can be customized with music, text, and transitions The time that the photos appear on the screen and the actual duration of the movie can also be adjusted Once completed, Mixbook will send you a link to share the video

According to Mixbook, Mixbook Movie will be offered free with every purchase of a photobook, but the release notes that this is for a limited time It is not clear when the free movie will be gone

Like other companies around the world, Mixbook is leaning toward AI with new AI-generated captions and photo enhancement tools

These include Rewrite, which can update and adjust the tone of captions in a photobook “to perfectly express a range of emotions and fit the story” Soon, the ability to add “smart captions” to individual images will be added

According to Mixbook, AI will also automatically “enhance” images so that photos print “clearer and cleaner

Smaller updates include new “location-based visuals” for projects If you are using the desktop version of Mixbook, you can “plot up to 10 locations on a map and customize location labels to bring your travel journey to life

In addition, a new sticker collection appears each month

These new improvements will help Mixbook maintain its position as the best photobook service on the market; in a review of Mixbook, Dan Havlik wrote, “Mixbook combines ease of use, excellent image quality, and good value among the photo services we tested It offers the best service available”
