Our online drag and drop templates work for 90% of people! They are the simplest approach to building an album. Just start a book by choosing what album you would like and then hitting “create now” on the album page. You would next upload your images on the left, and drag them into pre-made templates. No third party tools are required for our album builder and you don't need to click "Download Spec" at all.
In fact, you would only download a spec if you were aiming to design your album in a third party program. For example, if you wanted to create a design effect that our program did not support, then you would download a spec to use as starting input measurement for creating a canvas in another program.
As always, if you need further assistance, you can reach out to us at support@zno.com or over the phone at (888) 966-9539
