Attention & Tips to make it better

Don't delete your photo before you order!

The original photo data is necessary when ordering a bookbind.

Use a bright photo

Colors are displayed differently on smartphones and printers(RGB→CMYK). When printed, it may look slightly darker than on the screen.

Use a proper-sized picture

"Followings are the recommendation for pictures for Photobook
Image size: larger than 960×1,280 px
Format: jpg, png
Color mode: RGB"RGB
 
Recommended picture size to put in an expanded photo page is as below:  
Photobook(Magazine Type/Book Type) : 2,122 x 2,976 px  
Mini Album : 2,453 x 1,750 px  
* Larger pictures than above can be used but does not affect the products quality.   
* The printed Photobook won’t be very beautiful if you use pictures smaller than recommended size.

Change the layout

  • Photos do not fit into frames (you want to set the photo as landscape although template frame is portrait and vice versa)
  • Too few photos to set (some frames are empty)
  • Too many photos to set (need more frames)

If you have these problems, try page layout change. In each option pages, you can choose the photo frame page fitting your favorite photo.
If there is no [Change Layout] button, it means such layout cannot be edited.

Select a font

Use your preferred font according to the design. For the notebook design, handwritten style fonts are recommended.

Set a background color

When there's a mismatch between the frame and photo which creates a blank space, it will be less noticeable after you set the background color.
