Upload your photos, your board book is ready
Short answer: Choose 7 to 26 photos and each becomes a page: the first is the front cover, and the book has as many pages as you have photos, covers included. Delivery, import duties and taxes are included to all 32 countries we deliver to, at the same price for each: nothing to pay on arrival.
Upload your photosHow it works
- Choose your photos on a phone or a computer: JPEG, PNG, WebP or iPhone HEIC. They come in the order you pick them, and a phone photo taken on its side is turned the right way up.
- The book follows the photos. One photo a page, the first on the front cover, at the largest size every photo can fill at 300 DPI. Move, replace or remove any photo before the book is made.
- See every page as it will be printed, turn the book round in 3D and order it, from the same screen, on a phone too.
How many photos make a book
The book has as many pages as photos, covers included, and is printed in 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 26 pages.
| Photos | Book |
|---|---|
| 7 or 8 | 8 pages |
| 11 or 12 | 12 pages |
| 15 or 16 | 16 pages |
| 19 or 20 | 20 pages |
| 23 or 24 | 24 pages |
| 25 or 26 | 26 pages |
With an odd number of photos every page has one and the back cover stays plain. A number between two books is not padded with blank pages: you are told how many photos to add or remove.
How large the photos need to be
Each photo fills a whole page, so it has to carry 300 DPI at the printed size, bleed included.
| Book size | Smallest photo |
|---|---|
| 12 × 12 cm | 1,489 × 1,489 px |
| 15 × 15 cm | 1,843 × 1,843 px |
| 15 × 21 cm | 1,843 × 2,552 px |
| 21 × 15 cm | 2,552 × 1,843 px |
| 20 × 20 cm | 2,434 × 2,434 px |
The size is chosen from your photos: the largest every one of them can fill. A photo too small for any size is flagged by name, and you can replace it where it stands.
The book you get
Thick board pages, 300 + 300 g board laminated back to back. Sizes, spine widths and file rules are in the print specifications.
What it costs
The price per copy depends on the pages, the size and how many copies you order; every figure is on the board book printing cost page.
Questions
How many photos do I need for a photo board book?
From 7 to 26: the book has one photo a page, covers included, so the number of photos is the number of pages.
What if my number of photos does not match a book?
Books are printed in 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 26 pages. If yours falls between two, you are told how many photos to add or remove for each; nothing is filled with blank pages. An odd number leaves only the back cover plain.
Can I make it on my phone?
Yes. Choose the photos on your phone, see every page and order there. Changing the layout by hand is done on a computer, in Printedin Studio.
Which photo goes on the cover?
The first one. The photos keep the order you choose them in, and you can move any of them before the book is made; with an even number the last one goes on the back cover.
What if a photo is too small?
It is flagged by name before the book is made, because a page under 300 DPI cannot be printed. Replace it where it stands, or remove it.
Can I change the book after it is made?
On a computer, yes: it opens in Printedin Studio like any design, so the text, the photos and the layout can all be changed. Or start again from your photos.
