What is Blurb?

Blurb is a publishing software designed to help individuals and professionals create, print, share, and sell books, e-books, and magazines on an online platform. It offers various applications including BookWright, PDF to Book, Adobe InDesign Plug-In, and Blurb for iOS devices.

Blurb's BookWright is a book creation software, which allows users to publish custom photo books or magazines in print or e-book formats.

It also allows creative directors to create PDFs using any application, review settings and book preferences in Adobe Acrobat Reader, and upload PDFs to Blurb for publishing.

Individuals can utilize the Blurb application on iPhone and iPad devices to create books, add custom layouts or captions, and preview or share book covers, even from remote locations. Professionals using Adobe InDesign can utilize Blurb's Plugin to design print or electronic books from predefined templates.
