QOOP.com

This website provides tools for uploading documents and images, compiling them into calendars, books and other products, and printing the result. In addition to printing, users can use QOOP to create a store with listings of their digital content that they can easily share to friends and networks online.

Partners and services

QOOP has grown through partnerships with sites for creators that allow them to quickly take their favorite works and turn them into cards, posters, and the like. For instance they had an early partnership with Flickr, and later developed a Facebook app, to make it easy to print and ship photos from those sites.[1][2]

QOOP also provides on-demand publishing services, and has partnered with publishers such as CK-12 Foundation, Stanford University Press, and PLoS (Public Library of Science) to provide printing of textbooks and compendiums.
