Question 1

How many pages can I have?

Accepted Answer

It depends on which Photo Book you choose! Most of our Photo Books come with 26 pages as standard, but you have the option to edit the book size and add extra pages for a small fee. Our A3 and A4 Personalised Photo Books can hold a maximum of 160 pages at standard paper thickness, or 128 pages at upgraded paper thickness. Our other UK Photo Books range between 90 and 120 maximum pages (with a few exceptions).

Question 2

How thick are the pages?

Accepted Answer

We have a range of paper thicknesses in our Photo Books, so you can find the right paper for you. Our standard paper quality is 170gsm, which is glossy, flexible and durable. The paper can be upgraded in most of our books. Our lay flat books are 380gsm as standard, which is thick like card and makes pages stay flat, even when turning.

Question 3

Can I gift wrap my book?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Some of our UK Photo Books, such as the A4 Professional Lay Flat and the Premium Photo Books already come with their own gift box. You can also add a gift box to all of our hardcover A4, A3, Square and Large Square Photo Books (apart from the Square Quick Photo Book). For all our A4 Photo Books, you can also opt to have them gift wrapped for a small fee.

Question 4

What is a Lay Flat book?

Accepted Answer

'Lay flat' is the name for a type of book binding. It means the photo book opens completely flat at the spine because of how the pages are bound together. Our lay flat photo book pages are extra-thick, too, which helps them open flat. This type of binding means that none of your photo gets lost in the spine, and it's perfect for a page layout that spreads panoramic photos across two pages.

Question 5

Can I add messages to my Photo Book?

Accepted Answer

You can add text captions inside all our Photo Books, in a variety of different fonts and layout options. You can also write on the cover and, in some cases, the spine of these books: the A4 and A3 Personalised Photo Books, Little Moments Photo Book, A4 and A3 Lay Flat Photo Books, Square Hardcover Photo Book, My First Baby Photo Board Book, A4 Professional Lay Flat Photo Book, A4 Portrait Photo Book, Square Quick Photo Book, Square Premium Photo Book, Square Lay Flat Photo Book, Square Softcover Photo Book, A5 Small Softcover Photo Book, Square Spiral Photo Book and Photo Journal.

Question 6

How long does it take to make a Photo Book?

Accepted Answer

This is entirely up to you! Some of our Photo Books, such as our Little Moments Photo Book, can be made in minutes on your phone. We can help to autofill other books, too, giving you a head start to upload photos and begin making your masterpiece. How long you spend adding captions, backgrounds, experimenting with layouts and designs is up to you - you can spend as much time or as little as you want.

We know it takes time to scour your photo albums for the best photo for your first page, or select the perfect photo size for each image, that's why with our Credit purchase option you can now enjoy up to 3 months to create your photo gifts.

Question 7

What can I use a Photo Book for?

Accepted Answer

You can use a Photo Book for anything! Many people use them to capture weddings, holidays, baby's 'firsts' or a whole year in family life. We've seen them used for scrapbooking, recipe books and as professional portfolios.

Photo Books also make great gifts. Gather a wide range of photos from one person's life to make a book for a major birthday, make a travel journal for your backpacking buddies or just turn photos of a great day out with the grandparents into a Little Moments Photo Book to keep forever.

Question 8

What colour is the inside cover?

Accepted Answer

We’ve recently updated our Photo Book design and the inside cover is now a warm grey colour.
