or through the
New Free QT Designer
Powered by SmartAlbums
We’re excited to announce a major upgrade to the QT workflow: QT Designer, a self-contained, SmartAlbums-powered design and ordering system, is now available — and completely FREE for all QT customers.
Whether you shop in USD or EUR, you can now design your album and send it straight to production without ever leaving SmartAlbums or the QT Designer. This means faster workflows, fewer files to manage, and a totally streamlined creative experience.
Note: this is an optional workflow and one of many paths that are available to you for designing and ordering an album.
“Overall, the experience was great and significantly more convenient than
the previous method of exporting from SmartAlbums and then separately
ordering through the QT Albums website.
I particularly appreciated the improved visualisation of cover options and
a clearer indication of overall finishings, such as text embossing. It
truly made for a very seamless and much better user experience.
Congratulations to you and the team on this excellent update!
Thanks,
Dave
