What AlbumStomp is
AlbumStomp is desktop software for designing photo albums and books on macOS and Windows. It creates layout options from selected images, which users can cycle through with Mix it Up, and margins can be adjusted by dragging. Its image browser marks used images, shows their page locations, and sorts by filename or date. Designers can place an image behind a spread and change its opacity. Album setup supports company presets or custom dimensions, trim, DPI, and spread count. The software exports high-resolution printable JPEGs for a complete album, spread, or selected pages. AlbumPrüfr is integrated for client feedback and design changes. The free trial includes the full feature set for as long as desired, but exported images carry a watermark. AlbumStomp2 costs $99, paid once for a single user and permits two installs; a studio pack costs $179, paid once for five installs. Bundles and an annual AlbumPrüfr plan are also listed.
