Perfectly preserve any snapshots
There’s nothing like looking back at your favourite memories. That’s why we’re proud to offer personalised photo books that celebrate your most meaningful moments. Whether you’re creating a wedding photo book, baby photo album, travel keepsake, Christmas gift or even a brand portfolio, our albums bind your images together beautifully – without breaking the bank. Plus, with 2 decades of print expertise and a friendly support team here to help 24/7, you can be confident your photo album will turn out just like you pictured.
Details you’ll love
Your custom photo album should feel as unique as the memories it holds – so we’ve given you lots of personalisation options. Choose from a range of sizes, layouts and covers, including linen and photo covers. For paper stocks, select our Standard option, or upgrade to Premium Glossy – a slick, coated finish that delivers richer colours and greater contrast. Have panoramic shots from a recent trip, or wedding photos with the whole family squeezed in? Our layflat option is ideal. With a layflat album, you can print extra wide photos seamlessly across 2 whole pages.
Your choice of design editors
Ready to create your memory photo book? We’re ready with 2 design editors – a mobile-friendly option that allows you to create photo books online or a downloadable photo book maker you can use on your computer. (To learn more about each, see our Editor Options section.) Whichever you prefer, we’ll walk you through the process step by step. Or, use our Smart Assistant, which will quickly pick out your best pictures and design layouts to create a photo book you’ll love. Once you’re happy with your design, we’ll professionally print, bind and package your creation before sending it to your home. Your photo book will arrive looking crisp, polished and ready to become a heartwarming classic.

Frequently asked questions
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.
4 MB is the maximum size we recommend for an individual photo. Anything larger than this may cause problems when you upload your photo album. That said, there are no limits to the file size of the photo book 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.

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 to make a photo book that features classic 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 photo book spreads. The choice is yours!
The process varies slightly based on which of our design editors you’d like to use.
Downloadable (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. (Downloading 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 into the book. Work is saved to your computer — when your design is finished, the programme will upload the book to our site so that you can complete your order. The Downloadable Editor also includes an assortment of extra design options, which is especially helpful if you’re interested in adding a lot of custom details to your photo album.
Online Editor: With our online tool, you’ll be able to design photo books 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 your photo album book and come back to it later. We recommend saving your work early and often.
Downloadable (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).
