The editor

Can I come back to a project later?

Yes. Projects are saved as you work. Create an account to keep them across devices and find them under “My projects”.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The editor runs in your web browser. A larger screen is more comfortable for long books.

Do I have to start from a template?

No. Start from a template made for trips, yearbooks, love stories or babies, or from a blank book. Either way you can change layouts, text and photos on every page.

Photo quality

What photo quality do I need?

Phone photos work well for most layouts. The editor warns you when an image is too small for its frame, so there are no surprises in print.

Will the print look like my screen?

Very close. Screens are backlit and each one is set up differently, so small color differences between screen and print are normal and are not a defect. Books are printed at 300 dpi.

I made a mistake in my design. Can I return the book?

Because every book is personalized, we cannot accept returns for typos or photo choices in your own design. Please check the preview carefully before ordering.

Can I return a book I no longer want?

Books are made to order from your photos, so the 14-day right of withdrawal in the EU and the UK does not apply to them. Your legal rights for faulty goods, including the Australian consumer guarantees, are not affected.

Payment and discounts

How can I pay?

Payment is handled by Stripe on a secure page. Major credit and debit cards are accepted, and other methods such as Apple Pay or Google Pay appear when they are available for your device and country. We never see or store your card number.

Do prices include tax?

Prices in euros include VAT and prices in Australian dollars include GST. Prices in US dollars exclude sales tax: any tax due is calculated from your shipping address and shown before you pay.

Where do I enter a discount code?

On the secure payment page, in the field for a promotion code. One code can be used per order.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes. A gift card is sent by email, and its code is entered at checkout to pay for all or part of an order. A gift card and a discount code cannot be combined on the same order.

Account and privacy
