Frequently asked questions about photo books
What is a photo book?
A photo book is a type of personalised photo album, where photos are printed directly onto each page. Unlike a traditional photo album that uses plastic sleeves, photo books give you the creative freedom to change page layouts, update backgrounds, add cute stickers, and ultimately make each page look exactly as you’d like.
Why do I need to sign in before creating a photo book?
Signing in to your account ensures you can save your project and finish it at your own pace. Perfecting your photo book can take time, so saving along the way ultimately means you won’t have to worry about losing your progress and starting again.
Once you’ve chosen a photo book theme and clicked “Create Now”, you’ll be asked to either sign in to Max Spielmann or create a brand-new account.
How much are photo books?
Photo book prices ultimately depend on your chosen size, cover style, and how many pages you need. Small photo books start at £15, medium books at £22, and large books at £40.
How many pages can I add to my photo book?
Every photo book includes 20 pages as standard, but you can add extra pages for a small additional cost. The maximum size of each photo book is 150 pages, so you’ll have space to include your entire story from start to finish.
What’s the difference between hardcover and softcover photo books?
Hardback photo books offer a stronger, more durable cover that protects your precious photos and pages. Softcover photo books are lighter and more portable, with flexible pages that feel more like a magazine than a hardback book.
Hardcover photo books are our most popular choice, since they’re made to last longer and look fantastic on your bookshelf. Softcover photo books are a great option if you’re making a personalised gift or a super-quick project.
How quickly can I get my photo book?
You’ll receive your photo book within 5 working days, whether you choose Click & Collect or home delivery. Please see our full delivery policy for more info on shipping and returns.
Can I create photo books on my phone?
Yes! Photo books are really easy to make on your phone, since you can quickly add photos from your camera roll and use our mobile-friendly photo book maker to create your book.
Making photo books is also really easy on the Max Spielmann app, available for free on both Android and iOS. The app gives you easier access to your camera roll and can even auto-fill photo books with your very best snaps.
