Step 1: Choose Your Product

Visit prolab.in and select your product: Photo Books, Layflat Albums, or Canvas Prints, Metal Prints, Photo Frames. Select your size, finish, and number of pages.

Step 2: Upload Your Photos

Click Upload Photos and choose images from your device, Google Photos, or cloud storage. PRO LAB accepts JPG, PNG, and HEIC. Upload the highest resolution available — for a 20-page book, upload 30–40 photos. PRO LAB's AI enhancement automatically improves brightness, sharpness, and colour balance.

Step 3: Design Your Layout

Choose from pre-designed templates or start from scratch. Drag and drop photos into layout slots, adjust sizing and cropping, add text captions or dates, and choose your cover. Not a designer? Use our AI-assisted design feature — it automatically suggests layouts based on your photos.

Step 4: Preview Your Book

Use the 3D Preview to flip through your book digitally before ordering. Check photo alignment, text, page order, and cover design.

Step 5: Select Paper, Finish & Cover

Choose paper type (Gloss, Matte, or Lustre), cover type (Hardcover, Softcover, or Leather for layflat), and size (5×5" to 12×12" and beyond).

Step 6: Add to Cart & Checkout

Select quantity, add to cart, and checkout. Enter your delivery address, choose shipping speed, and pay via UPI, credit/debit card, or net banking.

Step 7: Track & Receive

You'll receive a confirmation email with your order number. Track production and delivery from your PRO LAB account. Most orders delivered pan-India within 5–7 business days.
