Simple to use, easy to understand and gives really great results! My clients love seeing the slide show of the completed renovation or building projects I do for them. And they love sharing them with friends and family.
I've used Smilebox for a number of years. I love that it is easy to set up a presentation and also easy to share on social media. One can also print out their creations for scrapbooking or other projects.
This website is easy to use and has a super selection of card choices. I love the music option and the fact that the website stores your photos. I once lost some old photos on my computer and it was great to see them stored on the smilebox website. I also appreciate the fact that you can chose whether or not to be a member based on whether or not you want ads on your photo page..
The designs are beautiful, but the tool does not allow to modify the pictures, import multiple pictures in one slide, place the pictures differently than centered, etc. Also the music cannot be trimmed or cut or otherwise modified. That's too bad!
Really something special to send to loved ones... Especially great to send across the miles, as it delivers a real, warm human experience. Gives you the ability to say it with a song, or create amazing personalized videos and slide shows.
I transferred 3-years worth of slides of when I lived in Germany and traveled Europe. I created a slideshow via SmileBox and after having issues uploading, support immediately identified my issues which I was able to resolve without incident.
Our slideshow is perfect and we are extremely please with the results! We highly recommend SmileBox.
Really wanted to give a 4.5 rating. I use Smilebox once a year for an annual Halloween party. Guest love receiving the creative invitation. I wish there was a way for me to use a Premium creation for this, but its not practical for me to pay so much for just one invitation. There should be a way to pay per invitation. If this was possible, I would give Smilebox a 5 star rating!
I turn to smile box when I want something cute and professional. For example, I make my family Christmas party invitations with it! People like to open their mail to a cute jingle, and animated decorations inviting them to a party. They know it is from me, because that's my style!
I was expecting to find more adult based content in the templates and better production... I'm disappointed that I paid for this and would like my money back... Although, there were two or three templates that were great in the Halloween section, that was it for me... I would be jumping up and down for joy if the templates looked more like movie trailers. All in all, the service is easy to use and making the original creation is fun, but it's all a little to warm and fuzzy for me. More elegant and classy templates for business and advertising purposes would make this site an every day visit for me and many others... Thank you...
I am a Grandma. Not good on a Computer. However, with Smilebox I have made professional looking albums on my own. I have been able to share, save, send, print. And review over and over. I love this Site! I have shared Smilebox with a lot of friends, and they all love the easy to use format. It makes using a computer fun... not frustrating. Dorothy
Unless you want to pay $59.99 for a year, don't sign up! I thought I was paying $5 to try it out for a month, but when it charged me, it was $59.99! And worse than that, they haven't refunded my money when I have asked them 4x! Bad business practices for sure. I will be telling everyone I know, NOT to use smilebox for online cards.
This is was my first time using Smilebox and it was quite easy to use. I made a few mistakes, but I easily went back and corrected them. I recommend this website for anyone who wants to send a cute and animated invite to their friends.
I have used Smilebox for years. I love it. It's easy to use. The only thing I wish was better is the song selection. The options for songs given for each Smilebox should be listed by name. Some I would like to use for other Smileboxes, but I can't figure out what they are in the list. But other than that, it's a GREAT program with lots of variety.
I love how Smilebox keeps our family connected. We used it while we lived overseas and also now that we live in the US but away from family. The grandparents and great-grandparents love the access to videos and pictures and it helps them to enjoy what they can't be right there to see.
I am real happy that I found SmileBox. Just what I was looking for to help make someones day a lot more enjoyable. And it is free! Really thinking of getting a upgraded membership though because it is really right what I was hoping for. Thank you very much SmileBox for your service.!
We had a lot happen in December 2015 and did not have the time to get Christmas cards out before Christmas Eve. So we decided to make a digital card and send it to our friends and family instead. It was so easy to create such a nice holiday greeting that was delivered to our loved one's inboxes. I am beyond impressed with the quality and the ease with which I put the card together. We will definitely be using the site again.
I have been using Smilebox for 8 years to make scrapbooks for my students in my elementary classroom to remember their school year. The parents always comment on how beautiful the pages are and how hard it must be, but I tell them it is easy with Smilebox. M students also have learned how to make their own slideshows for school presentations about various school related topics such as famous people.
This is an easy place to quickly add photos to collages, scrapbooks and more. I really like the designs. I am able to assemble collages that capture our memories and print them for scrapbooks. I do wish you could upload more than one creation at a time to send for printing at a store. Spell check would also be a great addition...
Good for sharing but customer service sucks
I admit I have liked this sight for sharing photo's and I paid for the premium service for one year and during this time there was a service issue with Windows 8 which I was using, and it caused everything to just show up as a black box with no picture for quite a few days. When I wrote to ask for an extension on my service, I was told in a very rude manner, that because my service was set to end, they would not offer it, even though they posted they were offering it on the opening page.
I also used their new RSVP service and would definitely not recommend it. It does not allow guests to state how many people are coming and the invite stops playing as soon as you update the sight. E-vite is much better.
This web site made it easy and fun to create birthday invitations for my daughter's party. I love the RSVP and comment tracker, and the ability to import Contacts from my email address book. I used the free service but may consider subscribing in the future in order to print and save the invitations for other parties.
Answer: It sounds like the pixels don't support the size you are trying to view it in. Try shrinking the output and see if that helps. If all of your pictures are still blurry, make sure your software is up to date. Hope this helps and congrats on your wedding!
Answer: Hello! Thank you for your question. F you purchase the Pro plan, you can download your creation as a video file and share it with the recipients. There would be no need to continue paying for the annual plan. If you share your creation online, you will see a Smilebox watermark and limited functionality once your subscription is canceled. Please send an email to support@smilebox.com so we can reply faster if any questions appear.
Answer: NO charge for using the electronic cards designated as "FREE"
