We’re excited to introduce a major upgrade to your album workflow: QT Designer — a SmartAlbums-powered design and ordering system, now available FREE for all QT customers.
We cover the license cost, saving you nearly $400 every year.
Whether you shop in USD or EUR, you can now design your album and send it straight to production without ever leaving SmartAlbums or QT Designer. No exporting files, no re-uploading — just a faster, simpler workflow with fewer steps.
To download the software, select your store and log in below.
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

SMART ALBUMS (FULL VERSION)
QT Designer is set up for direct ordering by default.
If you subscribe to the full version of Smart Albums at SmartAlbums.com, you’ll not only be able to order QT Albums directly, but also export spreads to your computer. This gives you full flexibility to upload files to the QT website — or any other lab — and order albums with any options or additional products.
