I ordered my Professional photo book at 23:55 on a Sunday night and the book was delivered at 12:00 the following Tuesday, only 36 hours later. Book quality was superb and a delivery time second to none. That was my third order from you. I will continue to use your service. Thank you.

I just love Saal. It's so so easy to use, and the quality is great. Delivery takes no time. I think over the years Saal have speeded up their delivery time. I've no connection to the company, but have made loads of books for friends and now I love the Mini Leporello which you can have in your handbag, of side pocket to show special occasions to friends. Also now using the Calendar block for desk as so many people are working from home and nice to have something on their home work desk. Thank you SAAL

Customer review on 1/12/2025
I used Saal Digital’s Windows software to create a photo book, and it was super easy and enjoyable. The interface is clean, simple, and very user-friendly. Designing the pages and customizing everything was a smooth process, even for a beginner. I haven’t received the photo book yet, but the designing experience was excellent. Their online platform is just as easy to use. So far, I’m really happy and can’t wait to see the final product!

I learned about Saal Digital from a YouTube review of photo book companies. The reviewer said to go with Saal Digital if you want a professional looking photo book -- and he was right! The photo book fulfilled my vision for a coffee table worthy album. I like that the glossy pages, lay-flat binding, and no bar code come standard, whereas you have to upgrade to get these features with other companies at an additional charge. I enjoyed using the templates and clip art provided by the downloadable software. I was able to find a lovely theme to work with that added to the photography instead of distracting from it. I'm excited to give the book as a gift!

I had an excellent experience with the customer service team today, including Arnau and Margare. I encountered an issue with uploading my project, and they responded to my email within a few minutes. Thank you! Everything is now resolved If I had contacted them immediately, I would have saved lots of time and I would probably have received my order on time, but I attempted to find a solution myself first. I have been ordering photobooks from Saal for a long time and they are always fabulous.

Books are a new initiative for me and after extensive research settled on SAAL Digital as my source. After showing samples to a store owner she ordered 6 as a tryout... all sold and I just re-ordered 6 more after receiving a restock request from my client. Totally happy with SAAL!
