A 56-second walkthrough: upload your photos, edit them, make a family recipe book, and check out.

Hands-free from the couch

No app to download and no account to set up. Ordinary photo editing happens in your browser. Optional AI coloring conversion sends the selected photo to an image service before checkout; print files are uploaded when you order.

  1. Upload from your phone

    Tap to pick from your camera roll. We flag any photo that might print soft before you pay for it.

  2. Arrange and caption

    Drag to reorder, add titles, names and dates. The preview is the real print layout.

  3. Approve the proof

    Flip through every page, then check out. A press-ready print file is built automatically.

  4. It shows up at the door

    A partner photo lab prints, packs and ships it. Tracking comes by email.

Questions

Short answers. See the full FAQ for more, and the checkout page shows the full cost before you pay.

How do I get kids’ art onto my phone?

Lay each piece flat near a window, hold your phone straight above it and take the photo. No flash, no scanner. The book prints the whole page, so nothing gets cropped.

What size photos do I need?

Anything straight from a recent phone camera is plenty. If a photo is small (like a screenshot or a saved text message), we mark it “May print soft” so you can swap it.

Can I ship it to someone else?

Yes. Put the recipient’s shipping address at checkout and use your own email for order updates. Printed gift-note inserts are not available.

What if I close the tab halfway through?

Your photos and cart stay in the open tab, and nothing is uploaded until you order. Moving between pages on the site keeps everything, but closing or reloading the tab clears it. The page asks first, so you won’t lose an order by accident.

Can I order a book and a calendar together?

Yes. Add each one to the cart and check out once, with one shipping charge. Items may arrive separately. A softcover book plus a calendar comes to $66, so shipping is free.

How long does it take?

Most orders print in 2 to 5 business days, then ship by tracked mail. Plan on about a week and a half to the door.
