Photo Magazine
What is the Photo Magazine like?
It's a perfectly-sized 8x10” softcover book that looks and feels like a hardy magazine or catalog. Each book is printed on 100% recycled, FSC-certified photo paper (118 gsm) with a luster finish. Designed for creating a magazine of your unique story.
How do I create a Photo Magazine?
On the website:
Visit our book builder to upload photos, select layouts, arrange pages, and add captions.
On the app:
Select 38 favorite photos, choose a cover design, add a title, and you're done. It’s as easy as print → preview → place order.
What should I know about ordering and photo selection?
- Use English characters only for titles and captions when ordering through the app. Emojis or non-English characters will not print properly.
- All characters (including non-English) are supported on the website version.
- Your photos will be printed full bleed (edge-to-edge) if you select that layout— important content should be kept at least 0.25" from all edges to avoid cropping during production.
What do customers do with their Photo Magazine?
Photo magazines are versatile by design—minimalist in form, meaningful in function. Here’s how our customers use them:
- Family Yearbooks – Capture a year’s worth of milestones, adventures, and everyday moments in a zine-style format you’ll actually flip through.
- Creative Portfolios – Artists, designers, and photographers use these books as compact, tactile portfolios.
- Wedding Photo Books – For couples who want a fun and affordable alternative to a bulky wedding photo album—perfect for gifting!
- Baby Memory Books – A beautiful way to document a baby’s first year, month by month without breaking the bank.
- Travel Journals – Tell the story of a road trip, honeymoon, or once-in-a-lifetime adventure in a magazine format.
Can I create a matching series or collection of Photo Magazines?
Yes—and they’re designed with that in mind. Many customers use Photo Magazines to build beautiful, matching sets over time.
