Best Practices for Photo Selection

Picking the Perfect Photos for Your Album

Hey there! Let's talk about choosing photos for your album. Don't worry - it's not rocket science, and there's really no "wrong" way to do it. But I've got some friendly tips that'll help you get the most out of your TripAlbum experience.

Focus on the Stars of Your Story

You know what makes a photo really pop in an album? Having a clear subject! Think about the people and things that made your trip special:

• Your friends making silly faces at the beach
• Your partner posing in front of that amazing sunset
• Your dog's first time seeing snow
• That crazy rollercoaster you were scared to ride
• The street performer who made your day

Portrait vs. Landscape - The Real Deal

Here's a little insider tip: while we can totally handle landscape photos (and they look great!), portrait orientation gives that classic Polaroid vibe we all know and love. Think about those vintage photo albums your parents have - most of those shots are portrait, right? It just feels more natural when you're flipping through an album.

But hey, don't stress if most of your photos are landscape! Our AI is pretty clever and can work with any orientation. We just personally think portrait photos have that extra bit of charm. 😉

What About Other Types of Photos?

Look, any photo that means something to you is worth including. Scenic shots of mountains, cityscapes, or that amazing meal you had - they all help tell your story. Just keep in mind that photos with clear subjects tend to work best when we're creating those cool trading card-style stickers. The AI has an easier time identifying and framing distinct subjects, which makes for better-looking final products.

At the end of the day, these are your memories, and you know best which photos capture the moments you want to remember. These are just friendly suggestions to help you get the most out of your album. So go ahead, dig through those photos, and start creating something special!
