We talk about how incredible our photo books are a lot – and if you’ve ever held one of our books in your hands you understand why. But the premium quality of our photo books doesn’t mean they’re reserved for big events or special occasions.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps for creating a 20-page, $20 photo book.
We’ll also provide you with tips for simplifying the photo book creation process, a list of the hottest photo book themes right now, and the reasons why we love this simple and affordable project.
Ready to create a professional quality book?
Before we dive in, we’re going to tell you how to create and order your 20-page photo book in just 5 minutes.
Step One: Log in to Printique.com.
Step Two: Navigate to our photo books tab and select soft cover photo books.
Step Three: Proceed to “Start creating” on an 8×8 inch soft cover photo book.
Step Four: Add the photos you want to feature in your photo book to a new Printique gallery.
Step Five: Select a photo book template. For a 20-page photo book, we recommend using one of our collage templates. This will maximize the number of photos you can aesthetically fit into your book.
Step Six: If you want to include photos from your phone, sync them to your desktop in seconds by uploading them to a Printique gallery through our free mobile app.
Step Seven: Once your selected gallery has uploaded to your project, you will be prompted with the option to have our platform “auto-fill” your photo book template. Click yes!
Step Eight: Review the auto-fill. Adjust photos so that they are cropped the way you want them to be. Our auto-fill software is intelligent, but nothing knows the design you want better than you!
Step Nine: Our auto-fill software won’t select a front cover, back cover, or title for your book. Choose the photos you want to use for those slots and drop them in!
Step Ten: Proceed to cart and check out!
If you already know the photos you would like to include in your book, these 10 steps should take less than 5 minutes to complete.
