Arctec -

Our Online Designer uses HTML5 which means that your customers can easily access your software across a range of devices. We’ve also used CSS to allow you to customise and brand the platform in the way that you want.

Features include a clever image upload – photos are immediately available for consumers to use. Focusing heavily on User Experience, intuitive features include live pricing and our Simple To Use toolbar (our S.T.U. bar), which dynamically changes the user’s options according to where they are in the online editor.

Our user friendly online photo gift designer software is designed to be highly customisable, flexible and brandable – just like the rest of our platform.

Taopix gives you all the tools you need to configure and control your online photobook designer software so that you can:

Brand and customise the Online Designer using your own branding, logos and colours. Customisation areas include the landing page, main header, tool bars etc.
Advanced customisation is available using simple CSS style sheets to change buttons, icons and adapt the look and feel.
Turn design features on or off, from fonts to masks, backgrounds to scrapbook items etc. When it comes to design features, you can offer customers either a limited or wide choice range.
Offer a wide range of products and templates! From photobooks to calendars, greetings cards and more.
Focus on one niche product if you prefer, i.e. ready books or wedding books.
Pick your templates and fonts. Set up your own templates or use the starter templates, backgrounds, fonts* and images provided.
Customise the Simple To Use toolbar using CSS. This highly intuitive toolbar (S.T.U. bar) is designed specifically to ensure that users are only presented with the options they need at the point that they need them.
Provide a flight checker. Set specific print requirements and ensure jobs are right before they are sent to print.

Use our powerful Product Management Platform to change and edit the options you offer to customers within the Desktop Designer as often as you like.

* Additional fonts require a font license for Internet usage with Taopix Online. Ensuring the correct font licenses are in place is the responsibility of your business.

Our Online Designer is designed to be easily customized by you. You are in charge of what you present to your customers!

Our customers are often curious to know how Taopix Online Designer works with pictures, and here's what we tell them:

Our clever upload tool means that the Online Designer takes a high quality preview of each picture before the upload begins. This means your customers can start using their photos immediately while the high resolution picture uploads in the background.*
Users can reuse pictures from previously purchased projects, with no need to re-upload.
Our online picture rendering engine makes working with pictures extremely fast for the user - it works behind the scenes, pre-processing the picture at various resolutions so that the closest matched size is always available.

In addition to this, our Online Designer supports a wide range of picture formats including;*

JPEG – RGB / CMYK / Greyscale
TIFF – RGB / CMYK / Greyscale
PNG – RGB / Greyscale
Alpha Channel – RGB / TIFF / PNG

To find out more about how all of this works, including our secure encryption and decryption, visit Taopix Production.

*Clever upload tool does not support CMYK or Alpha Channels

Our Online Designer has been purposefully designed to perfectly complement Taopix Desktop Designer.
