Mixbook Studio's AI-Generated Captions Tell the Perfect Story

They say a picture tells a thousand words — and that's just one of the reasons why Mixbookers love gifting photo books. They are a special and unique way to say I love you or congratulations. However, sometimes, you want to say something extra — words that capture your photos in a way that helps capture the moment or enhances the story.

Captions help you achieve that, but coming up with the right words can be challenging. Whether you're drawing a blank or creating a photo book for the first time and need inspiration, AI generated Caption Ideas is a new Mixbook Studio feature you should get to know. Here's how it works and how to get started.

Why use captions when creating photo books?

Photos alone create a story, which can be a powerful experience.

Flipping through a photo book of your baby's first year can be an emotional and beautiful experience — especially when sharing those moments with loved ones. The photos are stunning, but in many cases, adding captions can enhance the album.

Captions let you tell a detailed story alongside your favorite images and moments. A few simple words can make you laugh instantly — the narrative is uniquely yours. The text you add could be a date of when your baby first crawled, a cute quote to describe their wild post-bath hair — or anything else that describes those precious moments captured in time.

Captions can transform a photo book, but finding the perfect words or phrases can be tough. For this reason, Mixbook created its latest feature — and it's already a hit among new and experienced Mixbookers alike.

What is Mixbook's new Caption Ideas feature?

Mixbook is constantly innovating, helping its community create incredible photo-based stories.

While creative Mixbookers have long used captions to convey the perfect message, this generative AI (Gen AI) feature has put the perfect caption in easy reach of everyone.

When creating your photo book, you'll now benefit from AI-generated caption ideas based on your photos and the stories they tell. In an instant, find the right words. These auto-generated captions are a great addition to any photo book, whether a wedding, pet, family, or travel album.

You can preview, select, and customize the smart captions so they reflect the story you want to tell.

How does this new feature work?

Mixbook's generative AI analyzes your images based on their objects, context, actions, relationships, etc. to create an auto-generated caption.

So when you are creating your next Mixbook project and are trying to spark ideas to find the perfect words, lean on smart captions to ensure a seamless creative process — here's how it works.

• Click 'Text' to see smart captions generated based on the collective photos on the page. You can view both long and short options based on what you'd like to say and your creative style.

• Don't like what you see? Tap 'regenerate' to view fresh ideas at any time. You can also create captions based on a topic. If you want to go back, click 'previous.'

• If available, Caption Ideas can also suggest locations based on your photos. This option will allow you to create the perfect travel album.
• Select a caption option to add to your page and customize. You can move it around, change the font, etc.
• To continue improving your experience, this feature offers an opportunity to give a thumbs up or thumbs down. The more feedback provided, the more user-friendly and valuable this feature will become.

What Mixbookers are saying about captions

The Mixbook community has already begun using this innovative feature. Here's what some Mixbookers have to say:

• "It was my first book, so everything was trial and error. This was helpful."
• "It definitely added to the creativity of the book without me having to think about it. Both captions I used were right on target."
• "It worked great! It often sparked new ideas if I didn't use what was suggested."
• "My trip was two months ago — I was grumpy and tired, yet I wanted my project to be done. My mind was blank. Captions were welcome as direct use, and sometimes the feature gave me an idea."
