Pictavo

From even the most competitive, journalistic staffs to volunteers creating their kids’ books over a weekend, it’s faster and more intuitive than anything you’ve seen. The platform has been running swiftly in HTML5 since 2017. (Cough. Cough. Ask your current printer about that.)

 

It out-paces the lightweight, scrapbook builders and leaves old fashioned yearbook company platforms in the dust.

180 Day Curriculum

Advisers told us they needed a year’s worth of lesson plans and support materials at their fingertips. Pictavo delivered!

The country’s only all-digital, use-as-you-want, 180 day curriculum has an astonishing 400-plus pages of carefully curated yearbook instruction and business support that’s pedagogically sound and for all levels.

Pictavo Features

Achieve professional looking results using Pictavo’s advanced design tools and thousands of design elements including covers, backgrounds, clip art, templates and more.

Pictavo users not only enjoy the best-in-class type functionality and an unparalleled grid based, modular, formatting process, but also built-in timesavers for spread creation like pick-and-choose templates and modules. No matter your experience level, or the goal you have set for your program, we’ve developed incomparable solutions to help you create the book of your dreams.

 

In Pictavo’s art menus, for instance, discover the largest collection of new-every-year predesigned books from any company. Drag-and-drop page templates and art elements onto pages, drag your images (directly from your desktop) to photo boxes and add copy when you want. In a few minutes, you’ll have another finished spread.

 

Not a template kind-of-person? That’s cool to. Start from scratch with our sleek workspace and oh-so-magaziney grid and design to your heart’s content.

 

Pictavo has thousands of Snippets (a collection of clip art, photo boxes and text in one prebuilt art piece) to choose from to make the design process faster and easier. Every year Pictavo rolls out several new themes in addition to the many themes they have offered in previous years. Pictavo offers thousands of backgrounds and accents can be colorized with over 2000 Pictavo colors!

Single Deadline

With Pictavo, you have one deadline for all your pages. 

For the astounded, it bears repeating: One. Deadline.

When you’ve obsessed over the design, tweaked the copy, changed the headline 10 times, triple-spell-checked, proofed and moved them around on your ladder, submit your pages all together, Then, in the same time as your current printer, your books arrive.

We print your book at one time with one press operator managing the process. This means your color is consistent all the way through your book. And, this means your book gets our undivided attention.

With Pictavo, you get both the highest-quality book and the most time to get all the content together. Our care, capacity, capabilities, support, obsessive attention to detail and heart show on every page.

Community Photo Upload

What is a yearbook without images?

Pictavo makes it super easy for parents, staff and students to upload photos for use in the yearbook.
 
From events, to classroom candids and activities, to sport photos, to club and group images, all images are important. Gone are the days of having to email images to your yearbook advisor or putting images on a flash-drive.

Images that are uploaded can be tagged and categorized to make it easier for the yearbook advisor(s) or yearbook class/group to put the images in the yearbook!
