Use our FREE and EASY Taleweaver software to make your photo books, calendars and cards. Taleweaver gives you full control over your project or you can let it design the project for you. Follow the steps below:

1. Download and install the Taleweaver software. 

2. Read the Quick Start Guide or watch a 5 minute video tutorial here.

3. Launch either the Cards & Calendars program or the Photo Book program. Then, choose either Custom (for complete design freedom) or Fast Track (for a quick pre-designed product). Choose the product size from the drop down menu.

4. If you choose the Fast Track Option, the software will lead you through a number of steps to choose your project size, design, photos, and cover (if applicable). When the wizard is finished, it will create your project for you. At this point, your book is completely customizable. You can move your photos around, add captions, change your background color, or add additional pages or images.

If you choose the custom option, you can get started by dragging your photos, layouts, backgrounds or other artwork into the photo bin. Choose your page layouts and arrange your photos, add captions, backgrounds and other artwork. We also offer many FREE backgrounds for you to chose from through out Backgrounds Community. These backgrounds have been hand-picked from elite, featured designers. Select the backgrounds you want to use and import them directly into the TaleWeaver software, or individually like photos.
