The Problem
Stop jumping between
album software and Photoshop.
Every photographer knows the pain: your album software lacks creative control, so you keep switching to Photoshop — doubling your time on every project.
Limited tools
Basic album software lacks layers, masks, and real typography controls.
Constant switching
Back and forth between 3 apps just to finish one page. Time lost every session.
Expensive subscriptions
Paying monthly for tools that don't even talk to each other.
Features
Every tool you need.
Nothing you don't.
Masks & overlays
Create expressive layouts without leaving LAYON.
Text tools
Names, dates, captions with full typography controls.
Bleed & safe zones
Print-aware guides so nothing gets clipped at the lab.
Fast workflow
From photos to final export with fewer steps and less friction.
Print-ready export
High-res PDF ready for any album lab.
Your New Workflow
From photos to
album in one tool.

"LAYON cut my album design time in half. I used to spend 3 hours switching between Lightroom and Photoshop. Now I'm done in 45 minutes, and my clients love the results."

"Finally a tool that doesn't feel like it was designed for amateurs. The layer system is exactly what I needed. Worth every cent of the $49."

"I was skeptical at first, but the free trial convinced me immediately. The PDF export quality is print-lab perfect. My clients haven't complained once since switching."

FAQ
Questions before you start?
Is there a free trial?+
Yes — 14 days, full features, no credit card required. Download and start immediately, no account needed.
How many computers can I use LAYON on?+
One license covers 2 PCs simultaneously — for example, your studio desktop and your laptop. If you need to move to a different machine, you can deactivate one from within the app and activate on the new one.
Is this a one-time payment?+
Yes. Pay once, own it forever. No subscriptions, no hidden fees. The early access price of $49 is available for the first 1,000 customers only — after that the regular price is $199.
Does it work offline?+
Yes. LAYON works fully offline. The app checks your license online at launch, but continues to work for up to 7 days without an internet connection.
What happens after 12 months of updates?+
Your license keeps working indefinitely. New major versions after the 12-month update window may require a discounted upgrade for existing customers.
Is LAYON only for Windows?+
Currently yes — Windows 10 and 11. Mac support is on the roadmap.
