Zno Designer™
Choose Your Album Themes
As a cloud-based album designer, album themes are now available for every photography style: wedding, newborn & maternity, boudoir, family, seniors, quinceañeras and pets. With pre-designed album themes at your fingertips, you can build an entire album in seconds that capture the mood and wow your clients.
Export your Albums to Third Party Labs
You can use Zno Designer™ to design and export your albums to print with any lab in the world at any plan level. Even on the free plan, 3 exports are included for trial.
Support Adobe RGB 1998 Color Profile
In Zno Designer™, Adobe RGB 1998 color profile is also available when you export a project. This definitely gives you more color export options!
Export Specific Page Range
Zno Designer™ provides two methods to specify the page range when exporting your third-party lab album spreads: use a slider to select your pages or manually input the page numbers.
Customize Your Auto Fill Albums to Third Party Labs
When designing third-party lab albums in Zno Designer™, you have two options to customize your Auto Fill. The default mode is the system intelligently arranging photos into spreads. Or you can use custom mode and specify the photo range you want in one spread.
Zno Proofer™
Support Online Album Proofing
Zno Proofer™ is natively built into Zno Designer™. No downloads, no uploads, no jumping back and forth between album design software, proofing software and emails for client feedback. Clients mark and comment online for you to review and update directly in Zno Designer™.
Proof Your Albums with Unlimited Plan
The Unlimited Plan includes both exporting album designs to third-party labs worldwide and online proofing, which is ideal for professional photographers! You can send unlimited online proofs directly to clients for feedback, and make updates quickly and directly in Zno Designer™. Since it is cloud-based album designer software, you don’t need to download or upload, all comments are tracked on each spread in the software.
Zno Gallery™
Sign Out & Sign In
In Zno Gallery™, your clients now can sign out and sign in again. This is a small feature but it is critically important when they enter the wrong email address.
Sell Digital Downloads
As a cloud-based online photo gallery for professional photographers, you can now sell pictures for money in Zno Estore™ with Zno Gallery™ from single photos to the entire online photo gallery. You can set your size options and set your own price. When the download purchase is confirmed, the photos without watermark will be delivered to your client.
Zno Estore™
Support Offline Payment
In addition to partnering with Paypal to provide easy and safe payment transactions, you can also use offline payment to enable the acceptance of cash, checks, or any other payment method.
Fulfill Your Orders with Your Favorite Lab
Zno Cloud provides you the choice to fulfill your print products from the print lab that you want. When you customize prints, wall arts and albums as well as choose self fulfillment in your Zno Estore™, you can fulfill orders from third party labs, such as WHCC, Miller’s, nPhoto and Bay Photo Lab.
Support Additional Pages for Your Albums
More pages means more earnings. Zno Estore™ is always looking for ways to make your studio more profitable. Instead of being stuck with a fixed number of pages in an album, your clients have the flexibility to design an album with additional pages.
Batch Assign a Price Sheet to Collections
To increase your productivity, now you can batch assign a price sheet to various collections. Besides, you can also decide whether you want to turn on or keep the store status of these collections when assigning.
Use the Self Fulfillment to Sell Custom Products
