Pixable

We’ve been getting a lot of great feedback lately so we thought we’d share one of our wonderful testimonials with the rest of you.

“Pixable is awesome. I made my wife the most amazing mosaic for Valentine’s day. I didn’t have time to order it and have it arrive by Valentine’s day, so I downloaded the file and printed it at home. I then also sent the file to my wife so she could put it on her blog – she loved it.”

-Spencer

His wife had some kind words to say on her own blog post too:

“For Valentine’s Day, Spencer made this special photo mosaic for me using pixable.com. I’m not sure how it all works, but the overall picture is of me kissing John. All of the small photos are of our time last year. I really love it. I can’t seem to stop looking at it and I really appreciated his words of kindness written on the back.”

Thanks for the kind words Spencer and Jenny! We agree, the mosaic came out looking great and glad it was a gift that everyone loved.

We have some exciting news for you. As of today we have launched our new photo mosaic posters! We think you’re really going to like the new mosaic creator, as the posters you can make from it are unbelievable. Check out the video below.

With Pixable’s photo mosaic creator, your Facebook photos will soon take on a whole new form. The creator allows you to generate beautifully composed mosaics made up of hundreds of your favorite Facebook photos in literally just a few clicks. Similar to our previous creators, the photo mosaic creator is completely integrated with Facebook and allows you to use any of the photos already stored on the social networking site – including the photos from even your friends’ Facebook albums.

Don’t just print out a poster for yourself either. The posters are great for groups such as clubs, universities, and companies. Convert your favorite 100 or 200 photos into a beautiful poster representing your team, company or university logo, photo from your travels, or personal message.

While the photo mosaic creator is tightly integrated with Facebook, users can also use pictures from Flickr, Picasa, PhotoBucket or ones uploaded from their hard drive.

The photo mosaic posters are currently offered in 14” x 11” and 17” x 11” sizes with other sizes being available soon.

They’re free to create and download so visit the Mosaics site to make yours today, and be sure to share your it too! We’ve already seen some really cool ones.

Listen to what one of our New York customers, Emmie, has to say. Thanks for stopping by the office Emmie!

Love is in the air this time of year, but is anyone else still looking for that perfect Valentine’s Day gift?

Well, if you are, you’re in luck!

We just added some “lovely” backgrounds and stickers for our photobooks to help you create an original and personalized gift that will surely be remembered for years to come.  So, whether  you’re a romantic and looking for a gift for your girlfriend, boyfriend or significant other, or just want to show Mom and Dad how much you love them, a personalized photobook is the perfect gift.

We’ve also made your life a little easier with our tagged people search in the photo selector.  When selecting your photos remember to click on the “tagged people” tab and type in the name of you and your loved one.  It will automatically find all of the photos of the two of you tagged together, so you can spend your precious time adding all the personal touches to the photobook instead of searching for photos.

Also, it is really true when they say it is the thought that counts – so make sure to put some thought  into your photobook to make it extra special. Try including your favorite quotes about love from your favorite song or from an inside joke!

The Pixable Team

While Pixable only publicly launched several months ago, the hard work began nearly a year ago, and since then we have come a long way! Starting off with only an idea, and ending the year with a a beautiful office, a full-time team, new products, plenty of good press, and a wonderful base of customers is a dream come true!

It’s been thrilling and a challenge, and we could have never done it without each and every one of you. We want to sincerely thank all of you for helping make 2009 a success for Pixable and can’t wait to see you in 2010. We are excited for the months ahead, for the innovative products and new services we plan to launch, and are looking forward to keeping everyone up to date.
