How do I create a Softcover Photo Book?
On the website:
Visit our Softcover Photo Book builder to upload photos, select layouts, arrange pages, and add captions and custom spine text.
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 if I want a different cover color?
Inside the editor, you can select any color you'd like on the color wheel to choose a custom cover color. Or adjust your original selection to one of our 10 custom color options.
