At VistaPrint, designing a photo book has never been easier than with Smart Assistant. All you have to do is provide the photos and the program’s smart technology will then select your best images, remove duplicates and create high-quality page layouts. Smart Assistant works in just minutes – and you’ll be able to make any changes you’d like, add custom touches and more.

We can deliver photo books to addresses in the following countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland, Finland, Portugal and Denmark.

You can use JPEG (.jpg), BMP, PNG, HEIC and various RAW files to make a photo book online.

4Mb is the maximum size we recommend for an individual photo. Anything larger than this may cause problems as you upload your album. That said, there are no limits to the file size of the album itself.

Yes. We offer a mobile version of our online photo book maker that lets you design and order your personalised photo album on your smartphone or tablet. Our downloadable (offline) editor is not available on mobile devices. Also, please note that size changes are not currently supported on mobile, so make sure you choose the size you want before getting started.

The mobile photo transfer feature allows you to transfer photos from your mobile device to the desktop photo book editor by simply scanning a QR code. To learn more about this exciting new feature, have a look at this article.

Consider our 28 x 21 cm landscape photo book. It’s our most popular and recommended photo book for major milestones like weddings, yearbooks and more.

This comes down to a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer the classic look of black and white photography – especially for formal events like weddings and graduations. Colour photographs are a great way to show off vivid landscapes in travel albums or capture the fun of birthday parties and family get-togethers. Or, you can get the best of both worlds and use different approaches within different album spreads. The choice is yours!

The process varies slightly based on which of our design editors you’d like to use.

• Download (Offline) Editor: This editor is our most popular – when you install this photo album maker on your computer, it will guide you through the entire process. (Download is quick and easy – less than 3 minutes). After you select your photo book’s size, the editor will help you add photos directly from your computer onto the book. Work is saved to your computer – when your design is finished, the program will upload the book to our site so that you can complete your order. The Download Editor also includes an assortment of extra design options, especially helpful if you’re interested in adding a lot of custom detail to your album.

• Online Editor: With our online design tool, you’ll be able to design your entire book online, no downloads required. Upload photos from your computer and then place them onto the pages as you’d like.

Yes, both of our editing tools allow you to save a design and come back to it later. We recommend saving your work early and often.

Download (Offline) Editor: When you save your design, the work is stored on the computer itself. You’ll be able to make updates up until you click the Order button.

Online Editor: Your work will be saved to your Vistaprint account. Make sure you’re logged in before you start designing, and don’t clear the cookies on your browser until you’ve ordered your album.

Yes. Just contact our VistaPrint Customer CARE Team – we’ll be happy to answer any questions you have along the way. We want you to love your personalised photo album.

Yes! Just keep in mind that size changes can only be made within the same book format and orientation. For example, you can switch from one landscape size to another, but not from landscape to portrait. Also, please note that size changes are not currently supported on mobile, so make sure to choose your preferred size before getting started.

You will receive your printed photo album within 10 business days after you place your order. If you need your photo book before Christmas, remember to factor in this delivery time.

Layflat binding is a unique binding technique that allows a photo book’s pages to lie flat when open. Compared to our standard photo books, layflat photo books have a less prominent centre seam. This removes any visual interruptions, so you can fully take in your photos. Layflat photo albums are ideal for panoramic shots or photos that extend across two pages.

Note: Layflat binding is available in sizes L and XL only and comes with extra-thick paper stock (380 gsm).
