PDF IMPORT SERVICE
Bring Your Designs to Life with Professional Photo Printing
Whether you’re designing with Mimeo Photos or Motif, creating fully custom layouts in InDesign, or uploading a legacy Apple Photos project, our Import Service makes it easy to upload, validate, and order Mimeo Photos products from projects you created or customized.
What is the Mimeo Photos Import Service?
Our PDF Import Service allows you to upload fully designed, print-ready PDFs and turn them into professionally printed photo products. You can create your projects using:
Design Your Way: Import Options for Every Creator
Adobe InDesign Plugin
Our InDesign plugin lets you design your photo book from scratch with templates sized to match every Mimeo Photos format and size. The files include trim and fold lines, bleed, safe areas, and page guides, all in easily manageable layers. Total freedom, zero guesswork.
Adobe Illustrator Templates
The Illustrator templates are a precise visual definition of our printed product formats. These include the necessary components of our books (eg, covers, dust jackets, interior pages and spreads) in the sizes appropriate to minimum and maximum book lengths. The Illustrator templates are not preconfigured with multiple pages, as the InDesign plugin is, but can be easily extended.
PDF Templates
Our PDF templates are essentially identical to the Illustrator templates, but are more suitable for importing into non-Adobe design applications.

What’s the difference between Mimeo Photos and Motif
Both Mimeo Photos and Motif 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 keepsakes to friends, family, clients, and yourself – no matter which app you use.
The biggest differences between Mimeo Photos and Motif are the products available within each app, and the way that you create your projects. If you’re looking to create photo projects such as prints and wall decor, you can only design those with Mimeo Photos. If you’re interested in having AI curate your images and perfectly position faces within frames, you can do that with Motif.
