Our softcover photo albums come in two sizes and feature layflat binding, allowing your photos to spread seamlessly across double pages.

Once you’ve finalised your designs, we'll take care of the rest. We'll print, bind and package your photo book professionally, so it arrives looking great and ready to impress.

Our studio offers many customisable design features, helping you to design and personalise your photo book. However, please note that you will need to place all your images into the book yourself.

That said, there are no limits to the file size of the album itself. The minimum size for images is at least 300 dpi to ensure your photo book has beautiful, clear images. If you upload any images that are too low-quality, you'll receive a warning.

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 showcase 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.
Unfortunately, once you begin designing, you cannot change the size or orientation of your softcover photo book. Please make sure that you are certain of your choices before starting.
