2023 has been a roller coaster of a year and we know how much it means for you to preserve those moments, from the good, the bad and the slightly embarrassing.

We’re here to give you some inspiration about how you can tailor your photo book cover to round up your year. Whether you want to be minimalist with just one photo or go wild with splashes of colour, we really are ‘judging a (photo) book by its cover’.

Your favourite photo of the year

Among all the a-mazing things you’ve done this year, there’s bound to be a favourite photo in your camera roll. Problem is, which one are you going to pick? Which photo screams ‘I’m a cover-worthy snap’? Could it be a family photo from your cousin’s wedding, or a group selfie of you and your mates? Whatever photo you pick, it’s going to be front and centre on your personalised yearly photo book.

Photo book you should choose: A4 Personalised Photo Book

With this ever-so-popular photo book, you can personalise the cover to showcase your favourite photo of the year. Pick your snap, then add a background or stickers to make it pop. You can even add your own text to make sure *everyone* knows what a year you’ve had.

If you’re creating a yearly photo book from the app, try out our new photo book cover designs. Each one has been expertly designed with sharing stories in mind so whichever you pick, it’ll highlight your photos perfectly (trust us).

Make your photo book shine with your top nine

For those who just cannot choose one photo to be the cover star, why not choose nine instead? That way, you get to pick photos from all the special occasions you experienced throughout the year. From graduations to Halloween parties, this year has been a busy one and your phone storage is starting to get full. Photo dump these moments into a photo book and never get a finger cramp trying to scroll through your camera roll again.

Using words to tell your story

If you’re wanting to go down the minimalist route with your personalised yearly photo book, try using text instead of a photo. Save all your favourite snaps for when you open the book and keep the cover simple. Within our Editor you can easily write your yearly photo book cover caption and pick a font that matches your vibe. Are you going for a simple ‘Our year in photos’ or something more striking like your names and dates the photos were taken?
