Frequently Asked Questions

Have Questions About Motif for Mac?

Why would I use Motif instead of Mimeo Photos?

Both Motif and Mimeo Photos are fantastic options for creating photo products as unique as you. In early 2023, Motif was acquired by Mimeo Photos to provide you with even more options to design and ship stunning, professional-quality pieces to friends, family, clients, and yourself – no matter which device you use.

Deciding whether to use Motif or Mimeo Photos comes down to personal preference. If you’re looking to build a book easily in a short period of time, Motif offers AI curation tools that dramatically speed up the book-building process. In addition to image curation, Motif also will intelligently lay out your book with autoflow and uses facial detection to ensure faces appear properly within the frame.

What types of projects can I create with Motif for iPhone & iPad?

With Motif for iPhone & iPad, you can create photo books and calendars. Our photo books are available as layflat, hardcover, and softcover – each offered in multiple sizes to fit your needs. Calendars are available in 12- to 24-month formats.

Can I preview a theme with my own images before creating?

Yes! With Motif for iPhone & iPad, we show your actual photos in the theme selector, making it easy to visualize your project before you even get started. When browsing layouts, you’ll also see your own images in the different layouts.

What does Motif’s AI face detection do?

The face detection feature built into the Motif iOS/iPadOS app identifies faces in photos and will correctly place them within the frames on your project. This ensures that faces don’t unintentionally get cropped out of the frame – and it even works on pets!

Is it possible to rearrange pages in my book?

Absolutely! When creating a book with Motif for Mac, you can rearrange both single pages and two-page spreads anytime during the photo book creation process. So if you decide to move things around, it’s as easy as the click of a button.
