Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a selection unit, a switching unit, a layout unit, and an output unit and is to perform an object snapping function of laying out a new object in a spread page area by automatically aligning a position of the new object with respect to a layout position of an object already laid out in the spread page area. The selection unit selects an object as a selected object. The switching unit switches enabling and disabling of the object snapping function based on a user operation. The layout unit lays out the selected object in the spread page area by using the object snapping function in a case where the object snapping function is enabled. The output unit outputs album data including the spread page area in which the selected object is laid out.
