A free trial that actually proves the tool
A free trial is only useful if it lets you judge the real thing. Too many watermark the output, lock the export, or hide the real editor behind a demo, so you reach the end of the trial without the one answer that matters: does the finished album pass at your lab?
Cuppafolio's trial gives you the full product for 3 days: the complete editor, every template, and a real, un-watermarked print-ready PDF you can send to your lab. You add a card to start, you are not charged during the trial, and you can cancel anytime before it ends. Judge it on the actual deliverable, then decide.
Most trials won't let you test what matters
The album step should be the fun part. Too often the tooling gets in the way.
Demo modes that hide the real editor behind a sample
Watermarked or export-locked trials
No way to test the real PDF with your lab
A focused tool that does the album job brilliantly.
Everything you need for the album, nothing you don't, and the finished file is always yours.
No installs
Open a tab. Start designing.
No 4 GB download, no licence dongle, no “it only works on the office Mac”. Cuppafolio runs in any modern browser, so your albums follow you between machines.
Smart templates
Designer spreads, ready to fill.
Start from a layout you love and drop in your selects. Smart guides snap to bleed, gutter, centre and neighbours, so every page is balanced, every time.
Print-ready PDF
300 DPI. 3 mm bleed. Yours.
One click and a press-ready PDF lands in your downloads: 300 DPI, sRGB, embedded fonts, optional crop marks. No watermark, no expiry, no per-album unlock fee.
Flat pricing
One monthly price. No per-album fees.
From £19/month. Design as many albums as your plan allows for the same price every month, with no surprise charge when a busy season hits.
Judge it on a real export
The only honest way to evaluate album software is to design a real album and print the file. The trial is built so you can do exactly that: the export is the genuine 300 DPI, bleed-correct PDF, not a locked or stamped preview.
If it does not pass at your lab or does not feel right, cancel before day 4 from your billing settings and you are not charged.
How the free trial works in Cuppafolio
The flow is deliberately short. There is no setup project, no render queue and no export wizard to fight. Getting from your selects to a file your lab accepts is a handful of steps.
- Add a card and start the 3-day free trial
- Design a real album from designer templates
- Export a genuine, un-watermarked print-ready PDF
- Proof it at your lab, then keep your plan or cancel before day 4
The difference is in what we deliberately leave out.
A narrow tool, an honest deal, and a file that is genuinely yours.
You own the export
Every album leaves as a print-ready PDF with no watermark and no per-album unlock fee. It is a real deliverable you keep, not a file held hostage.
It runs in the browser
No installer, no licence keys, no per-machine setup. Open Cuppafolio in any modern browser and your work is exactly where you left it, on any computer.
One flat price
From £19 a month, busy season or quiet. No counting albums, no metered exports, nothing to reconcile at the end of the month.

“I designed a 40-page wedding album in an afternoon, exported a PDF, and sent it straight to my usual lab. The whole thing felt lighter than any tool I'd used before.”
Good questions, straight answers.
What happens when the trial ends?
On day 4 your selected plan starts automatically and your card is charged, unless you cancel before then. You can cancel anytime during the 3 days from your billing settings to avoid any charge. Any PDF you exported during the trial stays yours, even if you cancel.
Why does the free trial need a card?
The card is what lets you produce a real, un-watermarked print-ready PDF during the trial — the test that matters. A card-free trial would have to either watermark exports or rate-limit them; we made the deliberate choice to make every trial export production-grade and refundable, rather than restricted and free.
Is the trial the full product, or a limited demo?
The full product. Every template, every layout feature, the complete editor, and unlimited un-watermarked print-ready PDF exports. The only constraint is the 3-day window. Spend the time laying out one real album with your actual selects and you have everything you need to decide.
What if I cancel on day 2 — am I charged anything?
No, not a penny. Cancellation any time before day 4 stops the upcoming charge. The trial is genuinely free: you keep any PDF you exported, and you owe nothing.
Can I extend the trial?
Three days is short by design — long enough to lay out a real album and export the PDF, short enough that you do not lose track and get unexpectedly charged. If you genuinely need more time for a specific reason (say, your lab takes longer than three days to confirm the proof), get in touch before day 4 and we will try to help.
Is the trial export watermarked or limited?
No. The trial export is the real, un-watermarked 300 DPI print-ready PDF, so you can proof it at your lab and judge the actual deliverable.
