What kind of photo files can I use? Do you have tips for my photo book design?

You can use JPEG (.jpg), BMP, PNG and various RAW files. To make the most of your photo book, we recommend following these tips: 1. For the photo book cover or front page, add a high-quality photo that captures the theme of your photo album. 2. Switch up your layouts in between pages to keep things interesting. 3. If you're adding text, use bold and contrasting colors for readability. 4. Use the same fonts and colours throughout the whole photo book for a cohesive, professional feel.

Too small for the price

20 Jan 2026 | Stephanie H.

For $35 I was expecting a bigger photo album not a small book, if I had known I had clicked the small book I would not have paid for it,

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the photo album didn’t meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing it can be if the size wasn’t what you anticipated. Just as a gentle reminder, the sizes and measurements were listed on our website during the design and ordering process to help with selection. We truly appreciate your comments and will continue working to make our product descriptions as clear as possible for all our customers.

Special book

19 Jan 2026 | tracey d.

I ordered a special book for my sisters birthday and it arrived 1week ahead of said delivery date…however. . it was not quite right by the company…BUT…the customer service was outstanding. The lady I spoke to on the phone processed a new order immediately as were we talking on the phone…this was all done on Monday 12/1/26…. said it would take 2 weeks which was fine…. and I had my new replacement on the Friday 16/1/26…. i was beyond excited that it came so early and it was PERFECT. Great work to all who were involved at Vistaprint. This is my 3rd order and I already have my 4th project on the go. Thank you so much.

Loved it

Photo Book

20 Dec 2025 | Kerry C.

Very disappointed with this photo book. It is super small in size, I thought it was going to be A4 the same as the calendar not smaller than a normal photo. The binding has cracked on the first opening. This was to be a Christmas present but I would have been better ordering two calendars

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

That's for sharing this with us. We’re very sorry to hear that your photo book didn’t meet your expectations and wasn't used as the Christmas gift it was intended to be. Our check into the concern has confirmed that our care team was able to assist in providing a resolution, and we look forward to assisting with product or design queries regarding future products of interest.

Bally Windy photo book

Very happy with the printing/delivery time. Very unhappy with the paper quality compared to the book I had printed a few years ago. Will think twice before using Vistaprint again

You can use JPEG (.jpg), BMP, PNG and various RAW files. To make the most of your photo book, we recommend following these tips:

For the photo book cover or front page, add a high-quality photo that captures the theme of your photo album.
Switch up your layouts in between pages to keep things interesting.
If you're adding text, use bold and contrasting colors for readability.
Use the same fonts and colours throughout the whole photo book for a cohesive, professional feel.

As long as you have the images in your phone or computer storage, you can upload them into our editors.

Note: We don’t recommend saving photos from Facebook and uploading them, as this would result in low quality photos. We encourage using the original image files for the best results.

To prevent uploading errors, we recommend a maximum size of 4Mb per image. For the best print results, we also suggest a minimum image size of 2Mb. That said, there are no limits to the total file size of the album itself.

This comes down to a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer the classic look of black and white photography – especially for formal events like weddings and graduations. Colour photographs are a great way to show off vivid landscapes in travel albums or capture the fun of birthday parties and family get-togethers. Or, you can get the best of both worlds and use different approaches within different album spreads. The choice is yours!

Not at this time, but our editors offer multiple layout styles, stickers and masks for you to get creative with. And with the Smart Assistant feature, you can skip the hard part of choosing and layouting your photos and go straight to adding your custom touches.

To avoid losing your progress, we recommend signing into your VistaPrint account before you start designing. This way, you can reliably save your design, keep track of your edits and easily pick up where you left off.
