Create
Start a project, add a cover, chapters, and sections, then decide which photos belong on each page.
YOUR PHOTOS. YOUR STORY. YOUR BOOK.
Turn Your Photos into Beautiful Photo Books
SparkPages helps you find and gather photos with advanced filters, arrange them using flexible layouts, fine-tune crops exactly the way you want, and export a finished photo book—all on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

SparkPages keeps your projects on your devices. Sync, when enabled, stays in your own private iCloud.
How It Works
From a folder of photos to a finished book.
A simple path from first project to portable export.
Design
Browse and filter your photo library, drop images into page trays, apply shared layouts, and crop without touching the originals.
Export
Render a PDF that matches the order you see, or export the whole project as a portable .sparkpages file.
SHARED LAYOUTS
Layouts that do the arranging for you.
Versioned layouts for one to four items, previewed in a visual gallery with explicit Apply and Cancel. The thumbnail geometry is the same geometry used on the page.
Single Full Bleed
Two Up
Three Item Grid
Four Item Grid
Layout Subregions
Recommended Layouts
Layouts apply only to the items you select. Everything else, including your crops, stays as it is.
PROJECT STRUCTURE
Build pages the way you think.
Covers, chapters, standalone sections, and explicit page membership let a project follow the shape of your story instead of a fixed template.
Unorganized pages get their own actions, and PDF output follows the order shown in Pages.
Cover
Cover content and project metadata
Chapters
Group pages into parts of the story
Sections
Standalone sections outside chapters
Pages
Explicit page membership and ordering
Projects
A library that stays organized.
Recent, Folders, and All tabs sit beneath Projects, with photo-based project cards, pinning, folders, duplication, archiving and restoring, export, and deletion. Duplicates keep their embedded assets.
PROJECT CONTENT
Project Content and local AI prompts.
A versioned JSON contract covers project metadata, cover text, chapters, sections, stable IDs, and order. Paste JSON or import a JSON file to create or update a project, with validation and a Review Changes step before anything is applied.
Create and Refine AI prompts are generated on device. No AI service calls, provider accounts, or API keys are required.

Crop
Crop by hand, not by slider.
Drag to reposition, pinch to zoom, and keep one precise Zoom slider. Overflow dims, a thirds grid appears while you adjust, and Cancel, Done, Reset, and Recenter are always there.
OriginalCropped
Only the crop recipe is saved. Original photos, frames, aspect ratios, rotation, and page layout stay intact.
Privacy
Your Photos Stay Yours
SparkPages stores projects locally and, if you turn it on, synchronizes them only within your own private iCloud.
Stored Locally
Projects, pages, layouts, crops, and settings are stored on your device with versioned local persistence.
No Account Required
No registration, login, or SparkPages account is needed to create and export a book.
Your Own iCloud
Optional same-user private iCloud synchronization. Local work never waits on sync to finish.
Photos Under Your Control
Photo library access is requested through the system permission prompt and can be changed at any time.
Export When You Choose
PDF and .sparkpages exports happen only when you ask for them, and you choose where the file goes.
Import, Export, and Portability
Your work leaves the app in formats you control.
Import
Bring in Project Content as pasted JSON or a JSON file, or open a full portable .sparkpages project.
Export
Export Project Content, render a PDF, or share the entire project with its embedded assets.
Review
Validation and a Review Changes step run before updates apply, with warnings for stale content versions.
Do I need an account?
No. SparkPages does not require registration or login.
Where are my projects stored?
Projects are stored locally on your device. Optional synchronization uses your own private iCloud.
Does SparkPages change my original photos?
No. Crops are saved as a recipe, and your original assets are preserved.
Can I move a project between devices?
Yes. Export a portable .sparkpages file, or enable iCloud synchronization.
Does the AI prompt feature call an AI service?
No. Create and Refine prompts are generated locally. No provider account or API key is required.
What does the PDF look like?
PDF output follows the order shown in Pages, using the same layout geometry you see in the editor.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad on iOS 18 or later, and Mac on macOS 15 or later.
