Canadian customer - love but $

"I have been ordering these books for years, but between the exchange rate, the shipping and a recent bill in the mail for additional $$ charged by UPS, I think they have now become unaffordable for me. Bummer, I really have loved them. "

Barbette F.

Friends Forever

"I make one every year for my high school buddies. We have remained friends for the past 60+ years and still have luncheons once a month and manage "girls" trips at least twice a year. I make a photo book every year from the pictures from our "get togethers" and they are much appreciated and loved by the whole group!"

Softcover photo album

"I have made more than one of books and they keep getting better. The upload features, page layout and design features are great. You are limited to the number of pages so plan for that. You can also now save and complete later...which is great if you're focusing on layout and design."

So easy, big impact

"I couldn't believe how easy it was to put together this great softcover photo book. the app put the photos in at varying sizes - which you could change - so you didn't have to rack your brain trying to come up with the right layout. Love the full bleed and the quality of the images on the page. Even a novice could put together a great album."

Quick and beautiful

"Over the years I have ordered over 10 of these. Every time the ordering experience is great I can quickly pick my photos, the quality of the books is amazing. The paper feels great. The images are sharp and beautiful. I use these as yearly photo albums for my children and as gifts for beloved family members"

Lacey V.

Need more cover layout and some books with less pages

"I love the books but I wish I could have a 10 or 20 page book option. Also there is not enough layouts to be creative with the book. These are great for magazine style books and great paper. Great for photographers as a proof book too. "

We hear you on the number of pages, it is something we're exploring! You can arrange the photos any way you'd like by adjusting them within the layout, so the options are endless, you don't have to stick with the preloaded templates. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!

I LOVE this company!! 💗

"Not only do they produce the best quality photo books - they are efficient, professional and so friendly! They care and it shows - they have the best, easiest software that makes building your book a breeze, their packaging/shipping is impeccable and beautiful, and if you need to contact them, they are there for you! So thankful to have found them! 💗"

Gorgeous Lay Flat Wedding Album

"I've tried so many photo printing companies, and SPS is my go-to for simple printed books. But when it came to a wedding album, I procrastinated printing one for 4 years because it felt overwhelming to design and costly to print. However, I finally pulled the trigger on the lay flat album, and it is SO GORGEOUS! The picture quality is perfect, and the interface to design was much more user friendly than sites like AU. It came in a beautiful keepsake box and was at a fraction of the price of some other sites. I'm so happy."

Great Gift!!

"This was my first time to order the softcover photo book and I'm so happy I did! We went on a trip with friends this past summer and I wanted to make one for them and one for us to keep. It's a great option when you're wanting to spend a little less money but still have a beautiful book full of memories! "

Prints and Books

"I always order my prints from here. They are always thicker than traditional prints so they don’t bend and crease easily. Which I love. I orders two soft cover photo books and the quality is stunning! I’m already planning to order more of these for every trip we take in the future and I’ll be ordering one for my mom after her trip to Alaska! Cannot recommend this company enough! "

Claire M.

Great Travel Photo books

"I love the quality of the pages, the speed of delivery and the price. The quality of the photos are often hits but there are a few that missed- some images were not as sharp and some colors changed. I also wish you are able to provide a layout design and not limit it to one photo per page. I have to make collages using a different app and upload it as a photo to have several photos in one pages. "

Thanks for the kind words! Often the difference in sharpness and color depends on the uploaded files, but we'll definitely look into the quality issues you mentioned. we do offer multi-photo layouts on the Social Print Studio website which is a great option for more layouts than the app offers.

Becky E.

We have several now!

"We are in the process of making these photo books for many of our families bigger moments and vacations. We love the style of these books. They make great coffee table books and memory keepsake, and because they are essentially a printed magazine-type photo book, pictures don’t fall out or get misplaced. We will continue making more, we love them!"

"I make a softcover book to highlight each year of our marriage. 5 years in and still loving the product. Only 38 photos but it’s actually a good way for me to filter through all the thousands of photos I take each year! Will continue to use this photo book for years to come. "

Great book

"I put together a book of memories for each year, the only thing that we've noticed would improve the book is the ability to add text to the spine. For us, being able to add the year to the spine as well as the front would be terrific, but otherwise, the books come out perfectly each time. "

Malibu Beach VRBO

"There are many good companies out there in the printing world and I have used them. None of them compare to “Social Print Studio”. This last weekend my wife and I took a vacation rental in Malibu, California. One of our projects involved exploring Boxes. I bought many of the “SPS” stickers (and also boxes on line), and then we all added all of the picture stickers to the boxes. We had a blast sharing the photos and looking at the pictures. I also had a hand full of soft photo books laying around. We started creatively adding the photo stickers to the books. Everyone commented on the quality being superior to anything out there! Thank you for your quality and responsive customer support. I love your service, product and your “Social” awareness. I now only use you! (Look closely at the stickers on the little coffee table) Have a wonderful day Best, Karen & Karen "

Ryan T.

Great for bringing images into to the tangible world

"How often do images from trips and important events die a slow forgotten death on hard drives to never see the tangible light of day? I'd say all too many. I love the ease of use of creating prints with Social Print Studio, so after promising myself I'd print more of my work, it would only be fitting to try their Softcover Photo book for a recent trip to the 5 Parks in Utah. SPS didn't disappoint! Hands down, for the value, I'm glad we printed photos from this memorable trip, friends who have seen it ask where we printed it, and it has me thinking about what else I can print in a book. I highly recommend SPS Softcover Photo Books for the ease of use end to end, from creating it in their portal to delivery. Won't be my last print from them for sure 10/10, Would recommend. "

Made My Day

"This book, from cover to cover, really captured my intent. It is easy to store if needed, the photos are crisp and clear. I never imagined my IG photos would reach this level of clarity. This is a book that I could easily give as a gift…… but I’m hanging onto it for now! This was my first experience with a soft cover book from Social Print. I usually get cards and postcards. I had to create a second book, it will arrive tomorrow. The suspense has me wanting to see it yesterday. I often wonder if the folks that assemble these books see some pretty awesome photos that they themselves like. I’m sure there are plenty to chose from. Anyhow, just want to say, I haven’t been disappointed in the past several years using this site to preserve and conserve my memories. Thanks to your skilled team, always contact available with any question I might have, my old school photos have been introduced to an extended new age look. Technology and creative skill are at work, I suspect, Social Print Studio doesn’t know about the word disappoint, so let’s not tell them it even exists! Love you forever! Monica"

Great, but picture color was a little dark

"We love our soft cover books. Some of the pictures were printed too dark/too much ink so it looks different than our actual pictures, but the majority of the pictures are perfect! "

Hi there! We are so sorry to hear that those images appeared a little darker than expected! That certainly is not good, and we will be reaching out regarding that to see if there is anything we can do to help out with that! Thank you so much!

Softcover Photo Book FAQ


Product Details

Finally, your teenage fantasies of creating your own zine have come true! Softcover Photo Books offer a classic 8x10” (20.3x25.4 cm) size and boast full-bleed pages printed on 100% recycled 118 gsm FSC-certified photo-paper. The 38 pages are perfectly bound, meaning they are bound with no glue, staples, or stitching. Perfect as a portfolio, brochure, or gift for a very special someone.

I’m a photo book newbie. How do I print a Softcover Photo Book?

For a simple tutorial on how to print your first Softcover Photo Book on the website, check out our how-to guide here. Our tutorial will guide you through possible layouts, photo counts, re-arranging, and captions so when you are ready to place your order you will already be a pro!

On the app simply choose your favorite 38 photos, a cover template, and add a title. 

Ordering Tips

If you are using the app, please only use English characters for your titles and captions on your Softcover Photo Book. Emojis or non-English characters will not print. All characters will print in photo books made using the website. 

A Note on Cropping

Our Softcover Photo Books features pages and cover options that can 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 older Instagram photos in our Softcover Photo Books. 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 older Instagram photos, there are some grid page options 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.

What happened to your old uploader?

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 photo book 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.
