How it works
Square pages work well when your photographs come in different shapes. Combine single images, small groups and captions to create a balanced album.
A square book lets you use portrait, landscape and square photographs in one album. Use layouts that preserve important details, rather than cropping every image to a square. Give favourite pictures a page of their own and group related moments together.
Softcover uses flexible 250gsm silk with gloss lamination for a lighter book. Hardcover uses 200gsm silk wrapped around rigid 2.25mm board with gloss lamination. Traditional folded endpapers connect the book block to the case, with gauze reinforcing the spine.
170gsm gloss has a shiny finish; 170gsm 100% recycled silk has a subtler sheen. Start with 20 pages if unsure and add two-page spreads up to 200 pages. Each additional Square spread costs £0.35, so 20 extra pages cost £3.50.
Upload original JPG or PNG files when possible. If a photo has also been posted to social media, use the original instead of a downloaded copy. Check cropping, image placement, captions and page order before ordering.
