Request edit on 2 October 2017

• replace company logo with this file: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58d1b3ff1b631bb1893d108d/t/59d1d7a303596e6dea32015e/1506923201611/?format=1500w -- company changed it's logo, see https://www.mixbook.com
• change location to Redwood City, California -- company moved locations according to this blog post https://www.mixbook.com/inspiration/behind-the-making-of-mixbook

 Additional information needed According to COI Use of Images, you need to obtain permission from the owner of the logo before it can be added to the article. You can do this in one of two ways:

1. License statement on company website: Ask the company to place the logo somewhere on the company's official website. Then, either on the same page or on a separate copyright page on the same website, they should include a statement that the work is released under a suitable free license, for example: "The image of the X Company Logo is released under the Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0." The recommended Creative Commons Attribution License allows the image of the logo to be used by anyone, with or without modifications, and allows commercial use, so long as the original author is credited. Once this is done, we can assist you in uploading the image of the logo.
2. E-mail permission: Have the owner email permission with a photo of the logo attached to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org stating "I release the attached photo of the logo under the Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0." The email should say that they are the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of the photo of the attached logo (or the logo at https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58d1b3ff1b631bb1893d108d/t/59d1d7a303596e6dea32015e/1506923201611/?format=1500w), and include their full name. It may require several days to process this e-mail - to avoid this delay, use the other method above. Once the photo of the logo is approved, we can assist you in uploading it.

• Also, the company location of Redwood City could not easily be discerned from the source that you provided. If you have another source indicating the HQ's location that would be appreciated. Regards,  Spintendo  ᔦᔭ  18:09, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest Disclosure

I am disclosing that I have a professional relationship with Mixbook. I am an employee of the company and am not making direct edits to the article. Instead, I am proposing a series of improvements on this Talk page for independent review by neutral editors. All proposed additions below are sourced from third-party, independent publications. I have not cited Mixbook's own website, blog, or press releases as primary sources for any factual claims. This disclosure is made in accordance with Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy and Terms of Use. Rclosangeles (talk) 00:10, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Request edit on 17 June 2026: Remove Unsourced Employee Count

The infobox currently lists "60 [citation needed]" for the number of employees. This figure is both unsourced and outdated. I am requesting that it be removed from the infobox entirely. I am not proposing a replacement figure at this time, as I have not identified a verifiable, independent third-party source that meets Wikipedia's citation standards for this data point. LinkedIn and company-controlled sources are not appropriate citations for this field. Removing an unsourced, flagged figure is a straightforward correction that does not require additional editorial review of the broader article.

Request edit on 17 June 2026: Update History Section (2018–2026)

The article's History section currently ends around 2013–2017, with only a single line noting the 2023 launch of Mixbook Studio. The following is a proposed addition covering notable, independently documented company developments from 2018 through 2026. All claims are sourced to third-party publications.

Proposed addition — to be inserted after the existing 2017 WedPics acquisition paragraph:

In October 2023, Mixbook launched Mixbook Studio, an updated photo book creation platform incorporating AI-powered design tools, including automated layout suggestions and image enhancement capabilities.

In October 2024, Mixbook expanded Mixbook Studio with additional AI-powered features, including AI-generated captions, a caption rewriting tool, automated layouts for photos, and new map styles for location-based customization. The company also introduced Mixbook Movies, a digital companion format that automatically generates an interactive video from a customer's photo book order, allowing customers to share their memories digitally while the physical book is in production and after·.

In June 2026, Mixbook launched Story Mode, a prompt-based photo book creation tool built on patent-pending AI technology. The feature allows users to describe a memory or occasion in text, upload photos, and receive a fully designed photo book. The company reported that Story Mode reduced creation time by 3.5 times and cut time to order in half compared to the standard editor. Story Mode launched initially on iOS, with web availability announced as forthcoming.

Notes for the editor reviewing this request:

· The 2023 PetaPixel citation (ref 6 in the current article) is already cited in the live article for the Mixbook Studio launch. The proposed new paragraph uses a more complete citation format. ·The Tom's Guide article (Younker, 2024) independently corroborates the Mixbook Movies and AI tools launch.

Request edit on 17 June 2026: Add Reception Section

Mixbook has been independently reviewed and recommended by multiple authoritative consumer publications. Wikipedia articles on comparable companies commonly include a Reception section documenting third-party coverage of this kind. The following is a proposed new section.

Proposed new section — to be inserted after the History section:

Reception

Mixbook has been included in best-of roundups and product recommendation guides by consumer technology and lifestyle publications. Good Housekeeping included Mixbook in its guide to the best photo book maker websites. Travel + Leisure included Mixbook in its guide to the best online photo book makers. Tom's Guide named Mixbook among the top photo book services in its annual best-of roundup. TechRadar included Mixbook in its guide to the best wedding photo book providers. The Knot featured Mixbook in guides to wedding photo albums and engagement photo books. Wirecutter, a product review publication operated by The New York Times, ranked Mixbook as its top pick among photo book services.

Removing duplicate submission

Request edit on 17 June 2026: Replace Dead and Low-Quality Citations

Three citations in the current article are either dead links or low-quality sources:

Ref 2 — Currently links to freeenterprise.com (defunct AMEX-sponsored blog). I have searched the Wayback Machine and no archived snapshot exists. Request: Remove this citation and the claim it supports if no independent replacement source can be identified.

Ref 3 — Currently links to blog.mixbook.com (the company's own WordPress blog). This is a primary source being used to support a product launch claim, which weakens citation quality. Request: Replace with independent third-party coverage of the same 2009 photo book editor launch, or remove the specific claim if no independent source can be found.

Ref 9 — Currently links to aabacosmallbusiness.com (dead domain, formerly Yahoo! Small Business), supporting the Citrify acquisition mention. I have searched the Wayback Machine and no archived snapshot exists. Request: Remove this citation and replace with independent news coverage of the Citrify acquisition if available, or remove the claim entirely.

Request edit on 17 June 2026: Add Product Section

The article's lead mentions "photo books, cards, calendars and home decor" but does not describe how the platform works or what the product categories are. Wikipedia articles on comparable companies (e.g., Shutterfly) include this context. The following is a proposed short Products subsection.

Proposed new section — to be inserted after the lead paragraph, before History:

Products

Mixbook offers an online platform for creating customizable photo books, cards, calendars, and home decor items. Customers design products using the company's web-based editor, Mixbook Studio, which includes AI-powered tools for layout suggestions, caption generation, photo enhancement, and location-based map customization. In 2024, the company introduced Mixbook Movies, a digital format that automatically generates a shareable video from a customer's photo book order. In 2026, the company introduced Story Mode, a prompt-based creation tool that allows users to describe a memory in text, upload photos, and receive a fully designed photo book assisted by AI.
