New in this version: • Explore, Home, and Shared. Explore shows every collage and carousel layout in sample photos: pick one, choose your photos, and Pressbook builds it. Home keeps the projects on this device. Shared holds what others share with you, what you share, and your circles. • 262 new templates. Explore now holds 520 collage and carousel layouts. Carousels take 2 to 10 panels, a New shelf shows the latest, and search finds templates by words like wedding or travel, in nine languages. When Pressbook lays out an album, it picks only layouts made for album pages that fit its page size. • Swipe to switch. At the top of each place, swipe left or right to move between its pages, like Albums, Collages, and Carousels in Home. • Smooth with big libraries. Long libraries scroll smoothly, and covers load just before you reach them. • Report and block. In shares and circles, report a comment, page, share, or person from someone else, or block them. Owners see reports and can remove what was reported. Before your first share, join, or comment, you agree to short community rules. • Sensitive images stay blurred. With Sensitive Content Warning on, sensitive images from others stay blurred until you choose to see them. The check runs on your device. • Reels from albums. Share > Reel turns an album into a page-by-page video. • Clearer Pro. Every purchase screen names Pressbook Pro, Restore purchases says when there is nothing to restore, and Manage subscription opens your subscriptions. • Quieter by default. Gentle comebacks stay off unless you turn them on. • Anonymous analytics. If you turn analytics on, each launch gets a new random ID, with no profile and no device model. • New names for some filters, frames, and layouts, and Settings > About Pressbook lists every font and open-source license. • Our privacy policy and terms are updated to match: pressbook.app/privacy

New in this version: • Videos from Files. Collages and carousels take clips from Files as well as Photos. Albums stay stills. • Your templates, every time. Saved templates show under My Templates whatever their panel or photo count. Picking one sets the count. • Sharp pages, sooner. Big albums stop fetching the same photos over and over, so the page you're on comes in sharp and the page strip stops spinning. • Clearer imports. A file already in the project says so, counts read right, and a new clip no longer lands on top of the last one. • Bug fixes and performance improvements.

New in this version: • Circles, shared both ways. Invite a few people to a private circle. Everyone shares albums, collages, and carousels, reacts to pages, and comments. All through your iCloud. • Made for iPhone Duo. Open it and an album becomes a two-page spread, with the spine on the fold. The library, collages, carousels, and editing use both halves and keep the hinge clear. Closed, everything fits the outer display. • Albums open like a book. An album lifts off its card and the cover swings open onto the first page. Closing sets it back down. Reduce Motion keeps a simple fade. • A lookbook of layouts. Every collage and carousel layout shows as a large, named preview, grouped by style or photo count. • A quicker way into an album. Shape and size are in view, and Continue goes straight to your photos. New albums start with your last size and fullness. • Favorite fonts on top. Long-press a font to pin it above your recents, the same way you keep favorite layouts. • Steadier saves. Muted clips stay silent in collage exports, and your work saves even if the screen locks partway through.

New in this version: • A desk for the Mac. On Mac, tools sit beside the page. Change Square, 4:5, or 9:16 from the window. Building a collage or carousel fills the screen. • Photos and folders together. Add stills from a folder, then finish from Photos. The folder pictures stay. On iPad and Mac, start from Files. • Change size, keep the work. Rebuild a collage to Square, 4:5, or 9:16 and keep shapes, overlays, and the photos you swapped. • Drawings stay on that page. Switch between one page and a two-page opening. The drawing stays where you put it, on that leaf.

New in this version: • Keep going when you leave. On iPhone and iPad, album progress stays on the Lock Screen for a short while after you leave. Come back to finish a long one. Stop is in the app. Collages and carousels stay in Pressbook. • Pick a real print size. On iPad and Mac, pick Square, Wide, or Tall, then slide to a print size. Dimensions and pixels sit on the page while you choose. • Faces stay in the picture. New pages look for people and keep them in view. If you crop a photo yourself, that crop is left alone. • Shapes don't stretch. Cut-outs and rounded corners keep their shape. Swap two photos and the overlay stays on the slot.

New in this version: • Share people first. Share now and Memory Capsule sit at the top. Files stay underneath. • Name who it's for. People sit on the card. Invite stays on the dock. Write a name on a waiting invite so you remember who the link is for. • New covers on Home. A new album shows its cover on the grid. • Gentler page turns. On iPad and Mac, Reduce Motion slides the opening instead of a 3D curl. • Color is not the only cue. Selected chips and used photos stay clear when you cannot see hue.

New in this version: • Create from Photos. On Mac, File > Create in Photos starts an album, collage, or carousel in Pressbook. • Album, collage, carousel. Book starts an album. Other starts a collage or carousel. Size is chosen in Pressbook. • View the book. Photos View opens the finished album, collage, or carousel.

New in this version: • Private invites. Each Invite makes a one-person iCloud link. Unused invites keep their numbers. • Who can approve. Pick up to two people. Invite them to approve, or choose someone who already joined. • Signature covers. New albums letter the cover in Signature.

New in this version: • iPad. Openings sit across the spine with a soft lay-flat gutter. Arrow keys turn the page. One command layer on iPad and Mac. • Page sign-off. Guests approve or request a change on the page they are looking at. Owners see Changes, and can reply when they mark a note addressed. • Save this page. Album guests save the page in front of them, not the whole book. • Print. AirPrint uses the reader pages as photographs.

New in this version: • pressbook.app. Share links, create links, privacy, and support live there. Old sideswipelabs.com links still open the app. • Creating a carousel or collage is stable again, including on iOS 18. • Overlay windows leave the status bar alone. The overlay catalog and preview shuffle are steadier. • Album editing: reorder pages in the grid and the strip, shuffle a blank page, crop without a jump. Unused photos stay unused when you shrink a layout. Add up to six photos at once.

New in this version: • Tips & Tricks. A searchable field guide for every surface. Open it from Settings. • Camera viewfinders. Digicam, camcorder, rangefinder, SLR, sports finder, TLR, iPhone, and square screen. Drop one on a photo or clip. Digicam and camcorder follow the capture date. • Film, paper, and stamps. Dual-strip and 35mm pages keep their windows lined up. Polaroid, Instax, torn edges, and date stamps with Digital, Stamp, or Film style. • 593 stickers in ten packs, including Café & Pets. Search, recolor white doodles, or lift a cut-out from a photo. • Home and the album grid use the new system glass bar. Select works like Photos: Select All, a count, and Done. • Shadow presets stay readable in Dark Mode. Overlay chrome wraps the photo. Quieter editor, share sheet, and export.

New in this version: • One Share panel for everything — albums, collages, and carousels open the same glass sheet: share a live memory, send a file, save images, export a PDF, or make a Reel. • Reels for Stories and social — turn an album into a silent slideshow, a collage into a layer build-up, or a carousel into a continuous swipe (or build) reel. Keeps rendering if you leave the app briefly. • Private or public memory sharing — invite people for full comments and reactions, or open a public link for reactions only. Switch modes without losing who you invited. • Pick up where you left off — Continue and Coming up on the home All tab, plus a resume toast when you return. • Glass chrome throughout — scroll-driven nav on home and album grid, unified sheet bars and primary CTAs, smoother motion and toast enter/exit. • Sharing polish — clearer access-ended alerts, upright shared album strip thumbs, real names for joiners, faster manage panel, stickers that load reliably, and quieter reliability fixes across editor, reader, and export.

New in this version: • Photos appear right away — page previews and the reader show your pictures as soon as a soft frame is ready, then quietly sharpen. No more empty camera placeholders while iCloud finishes. • Album thumbs stay ready — full-album page previews without leaving and coming back; sharper pages upgrade in place. • Smarter photo swapping — template frames and borders stay put; crop, filter, and rotation move with the photo. • Adjust crop and shuffle that keep your work — pan when the frame is edge-filled; layout changes no longer wipe rotation, crop, or filters. • Undo after Done, full-quality export, and reliability polish throughout the editor and reader.

New in this version: • Liquid Glass filter tray — lift and scrub through filters with a pure system glass dock, animated swap into multi-select, and a centered iPad layout. • Shared albums stay put — fixes for projects vanishing after updates, empty page recovery, and more reliable CloudKit share refresh. • When someone ends a share, guests get a clear “Access ended” notice (with optional notification) instead of a silent empty shelf. • Clean up Shared Capsules storage in Settings — multi-select leave/unshare with durable CloudKit retry if the network blips. • Phone-number share invites and invite-open reliability improvements, plus general polish and bug fixes.

New in this version: • Albums close on a real colophon endpaper — the album title, photo count, date range, and imprint on the book’s own paper, matching the opening title leaf. • Sharper contrast on Save, Share, and copper controls in light and dark mode so labels stay readable on every surface. • Editorial reading no longer closes when you swipe down the page — same as classic page-curl. Use Close (or the black margin on your own albums). • Cleaner title-page frontispiece without scrapbook corner pockets, plus quieter polish on sheets, toasts, and export bars. • Bug fixes and performance improvements.

New in this version: • Share any album, collage, or carousel. Invite people through your own iCloud. They open the finished work in Pressbook — no public links, and nothing goes through our servers. • Memory Capsule when you want a date. Seal a share so everyone waits on the same countdown and opens it together — or keep the seal only for yourself. • Reactions and comments on shared memories. On albums, react page by page. See who reacted, leave a note, and get quiet alerts when people join or respond. • Smoother invites: after you add someone, the share link is copied and the share sheet opens so you can send it right away. Manage access, send updates after you edit, and find shared work on your board with a Shared badge. • Works with Limited Photos access — Full Library is not required. When a photo is no longer available, Pressbook shows Unavailable so you can replace it instead of a blank frame. • Smarter collage and carousel creation, with a clear progress screen built from the photos you picked. • Bug fixes and performance improvements.

New in this version: • The album builder was rebuilt from the ground up. Pick a shape, set how full the pages should feel, and watch the album come together with real progress. The fullness slider changes pages, never photos: every picture you chose stays in. • Smarter page planning. Chapters follow time and place, the best frame of a burst leads with its look-alikes one tap away, faces are never cropped, and the people in your life show up evenly. • Takes. Every rebuild is a new take, and you can switch between takes at any time. • The set-aside drawer. Photos the builder leaves out wait in a drawer, grouped by reason, ready to come back with one tap. • Albums open on a keepsake title page, with an imprint noting the album was made entirely on this device. • 249 redesigned templates with more variety from page to page. • A shadow editor. Presets, color, offset, and softness for photos, text, stickers, and video. Shadows carry into video export. • 55 redrawn cutout shapes for photos. • Swap photos with a long press: hold one and drag it onto another to trade places. • Faster with large libraries, smoother scrolling, and dialogs rebuilt in Liquid Glass. Like everything in Pressbook, it all runs on your device. Photos never leave your phone.

New in this version: • A new way to pick layouts. Creating a carousel or collage now starts with a big live preview. Swipe through the panels, switch the size and photo count, and browse every layout in a filmstrip below. • Favorites and recents. Tap the heart on any layout to keep it up front. Pressbook also remembers your last setup, so making the next one takes two taps. • Recolor stickers. The white hand-drawn doodle stickers now take any color: select one and tap the color chip. • More stickers. Two new packs, Celebration and Lifestyle, and over 100 new hand-drawn doodles. 573 stickers, all free. • Finer control in the editor. Photos get edge handles for resizing one side at a time, and cropped photos reveal more of the original before zooming in. • Plus design polish, better accessibility, and fixes across the app. Like everything in Pressbook, it all runs on your device.

New in this version: • A sticker library, built in. Hundreds of stickers across ten packs: letters, numbers, flowers, food, animals, hearts, words, frames, arrows, and travel keepsakes. All free. • Sticker search. Find any sticker by name, or browse by pack and type. • Cleaner multi-select. Any selection gets one unified box with resize handles, and groups get a quick-actions pill. • Text on a path. Repeat your text along a drawn path, and reposition the photo inside photo-filled text. • Plus fixes and polish across the editors. Like everything in Pressbook, it all runs on your device.

New in this version: • Longer carousels. Build a carousel with up to 10 panels, up from 5. • Edit any panel. Tap a panel to focus it, then change its layout, add a panel, or remove one. Changing a panel's layout reflows its photos and keeps your text and stickers in place. • A faster editor. Selecting, dragging, and zooming are quicker across albums, collages, and carousels, and the selection menu now appears instantly. Drag a photo to the edge of a carousel to move it across panels. • A more consistent editor. Cleaner confirmation dialogs and buttons throughout, and collages now show their name on the home screen. • Plus fixes across the carousel and collage editors. Like everything in Pressbook, it all runs on your device.

New in this version: • Animated stickers. Drop stickers that move into any album, collage, or carousel. They stay animated when you export a video and become a clean still for prints and PDFs. Find more in the new Discover tab (off by default). • A new Sticker Library. Your stickers, including the cut-outs you make from your own photos, now live in one place, ready to reuse on any page. • Sharper video. Collages and carousels now export at up to 4K-class resolution, so they look crisp on every screen. • Smarter alignment. As you drag, resize, and rotate, guides snap things into place, even out the spacing, match angles, and line up to carousel panel edges. Like everything in Pressbook, it all runs on your device.

What's new this release: • HDR video export now keeps its full brightness and color on Instagram and other HDR apps. Turn it on or off in Settings. • Rebuilding a collage or carousel keeps only the photos on the page. • Swapping a photo keeps the template's look (treatment and filter). • Smaller fixes to the layout picker. Like everything in Pressbook, it all runs on your device.

Fixes and polish this release: • The video sound toggle now matches your export — what you hear in preview is what the MP4 has. • Tap a video's play button to select its layer. • Layout treatments stay on their slot when you swap photo positions. • The sticker Border panel no longer clips on iPad. Like everything in Pressbook, it all runs on your device.
