Automated Photobook Generation with Poolr
Poolr by MRVL generates a printed photobook automatically from all the photos your guests uploaded to your event gallery, with no manual editing or design work required.
How Poolr's Photobook Feature Works
Once your guests have uploaded their photos via QR code to your Poolr gallery, the Occasion tier and higher unlock one-tap photobook generation. You don't curate, design, or order manually. Poolr assembles every photo (or a curated selection) into a professional-quality bound book and sends it to your door. The feature uses all the full-resolution images from your shared event gallery, so every snapshot from every guest becomes part of the printed record. As of June 2026, this is included on the Occasion tier (£19.99 per event) and all higher-tier plans.
Why Automated Beats Manual Photobooks
Traditional photobook creation requires you to download images, pick which ones to include, arrange them in layout software, and order through a print partner. Poolr removes all those steps. Because it integrates with your guest upload gallery, the book is ready to order the moment your event ends. You're not managing files across email, cloud drives, or photographer deliveries. Everything your guests captured is already in one place, already full-resolution, already waiting to become a physical book. This saves hours for busy event hosts, wedding couples, and organisers juggling dozens of tasks.
Who Benefits From Poolr's Photobook
Wedding couples use it to turn guest candid photos into a keepsake without hiring a designer. Corporate event managers create instant printed memories for conferences and team days. Church administrators document gatherings and ceremonies. Birthday and milestone party hosts preserve the day without touching editing software. Sports and school event organisers deliver printed books to families. Professional wedding photographers and planners also offer Poolr photobooks alongside their own work, giving clients a fast, affordable backup album of candids the photographer didn't capture.
Poolr's Full Photo Collection Workflow
The photobook is the final step in Poolr's guest photo workflow. First, the host creates a Poolr event and generates a QR code. Guests scan the code on their phones, upload photos directly from their camera roll, and no signup or app download is needed. Every photo lands in the same full-resolution shared gallery, viewable by all attendees in real time on a live photo wall display (Occasion+ tier) or revealed in disposable-camera style reveal mode. From that single gallery, the host can download a ZIP, share via link, or order a printed photobook. Face recognition and highlight reels unlock on the Forever tier for repeat use across multiple events.
Poolr Pricing for Photobook Access
Automated photobook generation is included on the Occasion tier (£19.99 per event, unlimited photos, never expires) and the Forever tier (£34.99 for 2 years retention plus face recognition). Annual Host+ passes (£49.99/year) give repeat hosts unlimited per-event usage on the Occasion tier. Wedding planners and venue partners can use Pro Organiser (£9.99/month or £89.99/year) to create events for multiple clients. Teams accounts (£79/month or £699/year) suit larger organisations managing dozens of events. The Free tier (30 photos, 7 days) does not include photobook generation.
Photobook Quality and Format
Poolr's printed photobooks are professional-quality bound books, printed on archival paper and assembled with care. Because every photo in your Poolr gallery is stored in full resolution, the print quality is sharp and vibrant regardless of how many guests uploaded or how large the gallery grows. You can order one book for yourself, or print multiple copies for wedding favours, corporate gifts, or family records. The book arrives ready to display or gift, with no additional design steps needed from you.

Frequently asked questions
Does Poolr automate the entire photobook or do I choose which photos go in?
Poolr automates the assembly and ordering process. You can select specific photos to include or let the system use all uploaded images. Either way, design and layout are handled automatically - you just approve and order.
What happens to photobooks if I don't renew my subscription?
Photobooks you've already ordered remain yours. If your event expires (Occasion tier photos last forever; Forever tier lasts 2 years), you can no longer generate new books from that gallery, but any printed books already delivered are permanent keepsakes.
Can wedding photographers use Poolr's photobook feature for their clients?
Yes. Photographers often use Poolr alongside their own portfolio to offer guests a fast, affordable shared album photobook. The Pro Organiser and Teams tiers make it easy to manage multiple client events.
How long does it take to receive a printed photobook from Poolr?
Order processing and delivery typically take 5-10 business days depending on your location. You can order the moment your event gallery is ready.
Is automated photobook generation available on the free tier?
No. Photobook generation is included on the Occasion tier (£19.99) and higher. The Free tier offers 30 photos with 7-day retention but no photobook feature.
