Once you have got your calendar started, you will choose your photos, add captions, and personalise your backgrounds, layouts, and dates to complete your calendar.

  1. Choose to add photos manually or with Autofill
    Design your calendar from the start to finish or use Autofill. Click on the "Get photos" button, select your albums and photos following the instructions below, then check the box next to "Autofill using these photos" if you would like to have your photos and designs automatically placed for you. (If you use autofill, you can always move photos and change layouts and designs later.)

    Click on a photo preview at the centre of the page to select that photo for your calendar. The photos you select will appear in your collected photos at the right with check mark.

When you are ready to continue, click "Done".
  3. Arrange your photos and layouts
    If you chose to create your calendar with Autofill, your pages will be laid out with photos and designs. If you want to move photos and change layouts, drag and drop photos from your library and use the "Layouts" tab to select new layouts.

    If you chose to create your calendar manually, your pages will be blank. To fill them, drag and drop photos onto each page of your calendar.

Drag and drop your photo into the box and add text in the "Event" field. When you are finished, click "Done" and your date will be automatically added to your calendar.

How to create a photo book

Overview
Available in hardcover, soft-cover, or mini styles, our photo books are perfect for sharing your favourite photos in a book that is as unique as your memories!

Photo books are great for celebrating weddings, anniversaries, baby's first year, and more. Choose from our Classic Photo Book, 20x20 Square Photo Book, Soft-Cover Photo Book, 30x30 Luxury Book, and our Mini Books.

How to create hardcover and soft-cover photo books
To create a hardcover or soft-cover photo book, follow the steps below.

Note: To create a photo book, you need to have Adobe Flash installed on your computer. If you do not have Flash installed, you will be prompted to install it after you choose your cover and design theme.
  1. Click on the "Store" tab, found at the top of most pages.
  2. Follow the "Photo books" link in the "Favourites" list at the top left of the store page to enter the Photo Books Store.
  3. In the Photo Books Store, click on the photo book style you would like to create.
  4. On the next page, choose your cover style and design theme. Click on the cover and theme that you want to use, and then click the "Make this book" button.

    Note: You can change your cover or theme at any time while creating your photo book.
  5. You will be asked whether you want to design your book from scratch or if you would like to have your photos and designs automatically placed for you with our EasyFill tool. (If you use EasyFill, you can always move photos and change layouts and designs later.) Click "Continue" to move on to the next step.
  6. Next, you will choose the photos that you want to include in your book. To select a photo, click on the "Get photos" button, each photo will be added to the photos in the right-hand column that will be included in your book. To de-select a photo, click on the grey "X" at the lower right corner of the photo under "Your collected photos." To add photos from a different album, use the menu on the left side of the page to select another album. When you are ready to place your photos, click the "Done" button.
  7. Now for the fun part - designing your photo book! You will see your book template at the centre of the page, your collected photos at the right, and a scroll bar of menu options below your template.

    You can undo your most recent action by clicking on the white "Undo" button. Once you undo it, it can be redone - just click the "Redo" button. You can undo or redo up to 10 of your most recent actions by clicking on the small arrow next to "Undo" or "Redo" and selecting an action from the list that appears.

    Tip: You can save your progress at any time by clicking the "Save book" button near the bottom of the page. Clicking the "Back to store" button will cancel the work you have done on your photo book and return you to the main Photo Books Store page.
  8. To place photos, simply drag a photo from the collected photos at the right into an empty photo area labelled "Drag photo here" in the book template. To choose a different photo layout for any page, click on the "Layouts" button in the options at the bottom of the page. A number of small layout previews will appear in the scroll bar - to choose one, click on its preview and then drag it to the page you would like to use it.

    Tip: You can edit a photo after you have placed it in your photo book by clicking on the paintbrush icon that appears at the centre of the photo. Once you are happy with your edits, click "Apply changes." This will only edit the photo in your book, not the master copy of the photo in your library.
  9. To add a caption or message to any page, select the box that reads, "Edit text". This will bring up a small window where you can type your caption, and choose the font, size, colour, and positioning of your text. When you are done, click the "Apply changes" button and your caption will appear on the page. If you do not see a "Edit text" box on a page where you want to add a caption, choose a new page layout by clicking on the "Layouts" tab at the bottom of the page.
  10. To change your book's cover style, theme, photo layouts, backgrounds, or photo borders, click on the related tab to view your options. When you find an option you would like to use, drag and drop it into the page you want to edit. For borders and backgrounds, you can also apply the same design to every page of your book by checking the box next to "Apply to all pages."

    Tip: To quickly view, sort, delete, or edit any of the pages in your book, click on the "Pages" tab in the scroll bar menu. Clicking on a page preview will bring that page up in your book template.
  11. Once you are happy with all of the pages in your photo book, click on the yellow "Preview book" button to proof your book before you order. If you need to make changes, click "Back to edit." If you are happy with your photo book and ready to check out, click "Order this book."

    Tip: You can also save your book or send your book project to a friend by using the blue buttons at the bottom of the page.
  12. On the next page, choose your photo book's cover colour and enter the number of books you would like to order. Check the box next to "Yes, I have reviewed my book," and click the "Add to cart" button to check out.

Common questions about photo books.

How many pages and/or photos can I have in my photo book?
Hardcover and soft-cover photo books have a minimum of 20 pages, and a maximum of 150. Additional pages beyond the standard 20 are sold in sets of two at an extra cost. Photo book pages can be single or double-sided - for example, a 20-page, single-side book contains photos on 10 pages, while a 20-page, double-sided book contains 20 pages of photos. (There is no additional charge for double-side pages.

Mini Books: Mini Books have 24 pages, double-sided. Pages cannot be added to or removed from mini books, and all photos are full-page.

Can I use both landscape and portrait photos in a photo book?
Photo Books are designed with layout to suit both landscape and portrait format photos.

Landscape-oriented photos are best for mini books, since each photo takes up an entire page.

How long do photo book orders take?
Once you place your order, we will process and ship it out within 3-6 business days. The actual delivery time depends on the delivery method you choose at checkout.

Can I ship a photo book directly to a friend?
Yes -- your photo book order can be shipped to any address in these countries. Please note that all the items in your shopping cart must ship to the same address. For instance, we cannot ship photo books to one address, and your prints to another. If you need to order some items for yourself, and some for a friend, you will need to place two separate orders.

What is the return/refund policy for photo books?
Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are ever dissatisfied with your photo book order, we will provide you with a replacement or a full refund.
