The 20 × 20cm square format offers a balanced page for a mix of portrait and landscape photographs. It works well for family albums, baby books and travel stories. Use margins or multi-image layouts when a photograph does not suit a square crop.

Recycled square hardcover photo book questions
How big is a square hardcover photo book?
The pages measure 200 × 200mm (20 × 20cm). The rigid cover surrounds the pages, so these are the page dimensions rather than the outside dimensions of the case.
Can I add or remove pages while designing?
You can add pages in two-page spreads, up to 200 pages, and remove pages you add. You cannot reduce the book below the starting page count you select. If you are unsure, start with 20 pages.
How much do extra photo book pages cost?
Extra two-page spreads added in the editor cost 35p each for this recycled square hardcover photo book. Starting page-count options have their own displayed prices. Extra spreads are excluded from Picsme Forever discounts.
What is the hardcover made from?
Your personalised cover uses 200gsm silk wrapped around rigid 2.25mm board and finished with gloss lamination. The inner pages use 170gsm 100% recycled silk paper. Traditional folded endpapers connect the pages to the case, with gauze reinforcement at the spine.
What is recycled, and can I choose gloss paper instead?
The inner pages use 170gsm silk paper made from 100% recycled paper, with a subtler sheen than gloss. The recycled claim applies to the inner paper, not every component of the finished book. For a shinier finish, choose the separate square hardcover photo book with gloss paper.
Where is it made and how long does UK delivery take?
We print and bind the book in our own UK facility. For mainland UK orders, standard delivery is £3.50 and takes 3 to 5 working days; express is £4.00 and takes 2 to 4 working days. Both include production and tracked delivery. Standard delivery is free on orders of £30 or more. See our delivery policy for other destinations and full details.
Can I return a personalised photo book?
Personalised photo books cannot be returned simply because you change your mind. If your book is faulty, damaged or misdescribed, contact Picsme so we can help. See the refund policy for full details; your statutory rights are unaffected.
