Common questions about photo book printing

-
Is it hard to make a photo book online?
We have designed our tools to help anyone make a photo book with ease. You can upload directly from your phone or computer, and our "Auto-Fill" feature does the heavy lifting of arranging your pages for you.
-
Where can I pick up my photo books?
You can order photo books near you directly through our website or app. Simply select the "Same Day Pickup" option and choose your nearest store location during checkout to get your project fast.
-
What is the difference between a photo book and a traditional album?
A traditional album uses plastic sleeves for prints. A photo album book is digitally printed, meaning images are printed directly onto the paper. This allows for full customization of backgrounds and text that old-school albums cannot match.
-
What photos work best for printing?
For the sharpest results, use high-resolution images from your camera or phone. Our tool will warn you if a photo is too low-quality, ensuring your personalized photo book looks professional.
