Easy Photo Books for Quick Creation

---

We often publish some of our favorite shots to Instagram, but they shouldn’t only live online. By printing your photos, too, you save them from getting lost in this ephemeral space, creating a tangible photo book you can flip through for decades to come.

Chances are, if you have a furry friend at home, you’ve got dozens (if not hundreds) of photos to prove it. What easier way to honor the impact they’ve had on your life — and their cuteness, of course — than by creating a photo book featuring your favorites?

Weekend getaways, whether a simple staycation or a few days of travel, often have a way of filling our spirits and our camera rolls. No matter how small the trip, it’s worth revisiting in a simple photo book that brings you right back. Think: scenic views, selfie outtakes, food shots — those micro-moments of joy and adventure that make it all worth remembering.

Give yourself a place to put pen to paper with a homemade photo journal. Each spread can feature a photo from your camera roll or even a royalty-free image, alongside a blank page to write in. You can even use optional text layouts to include a quick prompt for your future self to think on. Turn it into a gratitude journal for one of many ways to practice gratitude through photo!

Getting back together with family can yield an astounding number of photos on our camera rolls. From group shots to long strings of candids, it’s these pictures that remind us of connection and all that comes with it. Looking back on a time you were all together, make an album to keep close by — and even order copies as gifts for parents, siblings, and extended family.

Have your photos organized into albums within Facebook, iPhotos, or Google Photos? If so, then half of the work is already done! Import pre-made albums directly from any of these sources to save time rounding up related images. This especially comes in handy for printing trips, events, or a defined period of time.

Pair familiar faces of family and friends with their names for your little one to learn every time they pick up this book. Especially handy for keeping distant loved ones close and top of mind, this idea is sure to delight children and the adults who love them, alike.

---

Remember the laughs of a recent friends weekend, like a bachelorette party or birthday trip, in a simple photo album to gift or keep for yourself. You may find that shared albums in iPhoto or Google Photos are particularly useful in collecting photos from everyone in one central place to print.

---

For an activity that stirs up a sense of gratitude, create a photo book of all the things you’re thankful for… be it family, home, hobbies, nature, or anything that’s meaningful in your world. You can even make use of captions with any extra time to spare, describing your stories and reasons why you’re grateful.

Thoughtful gifts don’t have to be difficult. Making a photo book starring a special person is made extra easy with the facial recognition sorting function (standard with Apple’s and Google’s albums). Do a quick scan for photos with and of the recipient, and create a book that’s all about them.

---

Sometimes, the most easy photo album to make, especially when you’re in the habit of printing frequently, is one based around a given time period. Annual reviews, seasonal recaps, monthly lookbacks — our memories of experiences are so bound by time, so why not make photo books that are too?

---

You may not have the space to store every work of art from the little ones, but that doesn’t mean you can’t save your favorites! Scan or take a photo of the kids' creations for safekeeping and look back on them together down the road.

Use Technology to Your Advantage

Searching with facial recognition, keywords, dates, and auto-created albums within your photo storage provider helps spur ideas and collect related images for grouping into a book.

Upload Photos to Galleries All at Once

Having all of the images from your device(s) ready to go in your account will make placing them into the book a much speedier process! To get photos off of your phone, try either uploading from our mobile website first, using AirDrop, or importing from other platforms like Google Photos straight from our editor.

Select Your Book Before Starting

Nothing takes the wind out of one's sails quite like having to start over. It's not possible to transfer your creation in one product into another (e.g., from Hardcover into a Softcover Book) once you're in the editor, so explore the features of each before laying out all of your photos inside.

Auto-Fill Makes For Easy Photo Books Fast

If photo order isn’t of importance, get started placing them on each page with the help of the auto-fill feature. From there, you can scoot images around to your liking, or simply add your title and check out!
