Little Volume
Photo books, made easy

You bring the photos.
We design your book.

We'll do the heavy design lifting.

Simple.

  1. Choose a size.
  2. Upload your photos.
  3. Select a style.
  4. Add a few words — and we'll design it.

We will design a beautiful volume of memories for you or a gift. Then we'll print it on premium gloss paper with three cover options — soft, hard-bound and layflat — and ship it straight to you, or whoever it's for.

How it works

Three steps. We do the heavy lifting.

No layout tools, no dragging boxes around. The design is ours; the memories are yours.

1

Upload your photos

Drop in a folder or your phone's camera roll. We read the dates and places, group them into events, and quietly set aside the near-duplicates.

2

Pick a style

Five styles, each with its own color and font options. Name your events, add a title or a line where you want one, or add nothing at all.

3

We finish it

Every page is laid out, every crop keeps faces whole, every photo is checked at 150 dpi. Approve the proof and it prints and ships direct.

Styles

Custom classic styles, designed by hand.

Select a style and we’ll design your pages. (Can be changed later.)

Clean & Minimal

Simple, classic, clean and minimal page layouts. Add titles and text to any page you like.

Book covers

Custom pre-designed covers, or your own photo.

Choose one of our designed covers and add your title, or put a favorite photo on the front. Change the title font, size and position as you like.

Custom covers are available in the Clean & Minimal, Edition, Basic and Studio styles. Edition keeps its own magazine cover as an option too.

Specialty pages & amped titles

Designer pages, ready for your photos.

Add a page or two that stops people turning. Pick a design, drop in your photo and type your words — we’ve done the layout, the type and the colors. One palette ties every specialty page, amped title and the cover together.

Specialty pages

Magazine covers, cut-outs, giant words, posters and color washes, built around one of your photos. Change the words, the color and the photo size in seconds.

Amped titles

Big, bold title pages to open a chapter, mark a trip or end the book — set in type, no photo needed. Just type your words.

What we do

You bring the photos.
We design the book.

Every page is laid out for you — sorted, cropped, balanced and styled — so you spend your time remembering, not arranging.

The book itself

Bound to be kept.

Matte-laminate hardcovers, PUR binding that opens without cracking, and premium gloss paper that makes every photograph shine.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I have to write anything?

No. Titles and descriptions are optional. Leave them empty and the pages print clean.

How many photos do I need?

30–40 photos is preferred for a short book. The book grows with your photos, up to 104 pages layflat or 200 softcover and hardcover.

Will my phone photos print well?

Usually, yes. We check every photo against the page size and place small ones in smaller windows so nothing prints soft.

We suggest not using a mobile phone to design your book — some options aren’t available there.

Can I change what you designed?

Yes. Click any page to swap the layout, move or replace a photo, edit the words, or delete the page.

Where is it printed?

At professional labs in the US, on HP Indigo presses, then shipped straight to the address you give us.

How long does it take?

Books go to press within a day of approval and typically arrive in one to two weeks.

Start with the photos you already have.

Fifteen minutes from a camera roll to a finished proof — and a book in the post.
