How it works

Turn holiday highlights into a book you will revisit

Start with the moments you want to remember, from big days out to small details of the place you stayed.

Choose a format for your holiday highlights

A5 portrait makes a compact holiday gift. A4 portrait gives favourite photographs more room. Square measures 20 × 20 cm and works well with mixed layouts. For a wider book shape, compare the separate landscape photo book collection.

Choose a cover for sharing or keeping

Softcover uses flexible 250gsm silk with gloss lamination for a lighter book. Hardcover uses rigid 2.25mm board, traditional folded endpapers and gauze spine reinforcement for a more substantial finish. The options in this holiday collection use 170gsm gloss inside pages.

Tell the story of the holiday

Choose an opening photograph, group days or activities together, and finish with a favourite memory. A few captions with dates and place names can help explain the photographs. Remove near-duplicates so the best images have room.

Start with a manageable page count

Start with 20 pages. Add pages in two-page spreads while designing, up to 200 pages. A book started with 20 pages cannot be reduced below 20. Additional two-page spreads cost £0.28 for A5 and £0.35 for A4 or Square. Extra spreads are excluded from Picsme Forever. Use original JPG or PNG files and check every crop and caption before ordering.
