They’re similar in ways but not the same. Photo books are printed, custom-made books that have images embedded into high-quality paper options and usually have a hardcover. Whereas photo albums have physical print photos placed in something like a plastic sleeve or fit into photo corners in a book format but with various types of book bindings.
