Introducing 1-Click Photo Upload

by

Today we are excited to share a new feature that makes it faster than ever to get photos into your Mixbook. Now, every placeholder photo will show a button which allows you to instantly upload any photo from your computer for use in your Mixbook. Previously you had to go through a multi-step process to get your photo uploaded then added to the tray and finally dragged and dropped into place. That changes today.

Simply click the button and a dialog to upload a photo from your computer will appear, select the photo you want, and it will instantly show in your project, even if it is a large file. As always, you can still drag and drop a photo from your tray into any empty photo as well.

Photos are at the core of the Mixbook experience and this improvement will make it easier than ever to get the photos you love into your Mixbook.
