What real customers have to say about our Layflat Photo Album

"Just recently I purchased one of their photo books and OMG it is stunning....breath-taking....I chose the lay flat format with embossed cover. I did the grey with silver stamping. My family too our first snow skiing trip to Colorado and the book is just amazing! Beyond my expectations. It will be a true family heirloom!! Don’t wait! Order yours today. I’m just looking for an excuse to do another one😍👏"

"This app was recommended by a friend, and I couldn’t be happier. When I was a kid I used to love going through old photo albums of my family, and that’s kind of lost in today’s world. We’re all lucky to have people like those who run this business to offer a simple and easy way to get a beautiful hard copy of a moment. Now we can remember these things always and our children can have images to access, hold, and learn the importance of history and the way things were or will be. I think this is a great app, the shipping was super fast, and the prints were also neatly and thoughtfully packaged. Thank you!"

What’s the difference between a Photo Book and a Layflat Photo Album?

The Layflat Photo Album is our premium photo book option at a fraction of the cost of our competitors’ layflat photo albums. It’s called a “Layflat'' because it’s bound in a specific way that allows it to lay flat on a hard surface. Our Layflat Albums allow you to print a full two page spread without losing any portion of the image in the binding. Layflat Photo Albums are the highest quality photo albums out there and are often used for wedding photos, anniversary gifts, and special occasions.

What are the exact pixel counts for pages and dust covers on these books?

We admire your attention to detail.

Pages are 1450x1750 pixels
Dust covers are 2102x2622 pixels

Foil Stamping Details

Three lines of text may be printed on foil stamped covers.
Each line has a text limit of 32 characters.
We cannot foil stamp our Half-Linen cover option due to the texture and color of this linen.

A Note on Cropping

Our Layflat Photo Albums feature full bleed dust covers, and the pages can also be chosen to print full bleed. Due to the nature of full bleed printing and trimming, we recommend keeping all important subjects at least 0.25” from the edge shown on the cropping menu and print preview. Full bleed prints can be cropped up to an additional 0.25” from this preview so we recommend keeping all vital limbs, heads, and text away from these crop lines.

Can Instagram Photos be used for these books?

We don't recommend using Instagram photos in our Layflat Photo Albums. They will be printed with a large amount of white space around them because the image size is too small to be printed full bleed.

If you would like to print your Instagram photos, there are some grid page options (website only) that have small enough grids to facilitate the smaller Instagram file size. We recommend these grid options for smaller social media photos as printing them full bleed can result in pixelated pages. If you are ordering from our apps please use the original files rather than these smaller Instagram photos.

Can I print my title in another language?

We can only print English characters for your title. The preview may show non-English characters but our script cannot understand them. Non-English characters will be printed as a "?".

What happened to your old uploader on the website?

This tech company got new tech! The new photo book maker is user friendly, allows you to print multiple photos per page, and avoids issues with larger Instagram photos. After many years of leaving the older photobook maker up and running, we no longer support it. The old uploader had old tech and we saw issues arising that led to orders failing. Give the new maker a whirl and if you have any suggestions on how to make it better, email us at hello@sps.io.
