Lightweight & Casual
Soft Cover Photobooks
A soft cover photo book is your go-to for everyday moments that don’t need to feel overly formal. It’s a relaxed, creative option; close to a printed magazine you’d actually want to leave out on the coffee table.
When you create custom photo books with a soft cover, you’re choosing something that’s lightweight, easy to flick through, and ideal for capturing seasonal highlights, weekend adventures, or casual life updates. The finish still feels premium, but without the rigidity of a hardcover.
A soft cover photo book works especially well when you’re building collections over time, like yearly recaps or travel snapshots you add to regularly.
Best for: Weekend trips, social events, everyday memories, or budget-friendly gifting
Durable & Timeless
Hard Cover Photobooks
A hard cover photo book brings more presence to your story. It’s the option people usually choose when they want something that feels a little more permanent; something you’ll keep on display, not tucked away.
Hard cover photo books are designed for durability, with a solid feel that suits milestone moments like weddings, anniversaries, or big life chapters. The cover can be fully personalised, so it feels more like a keepsake than a standard album.
One unexpected favourite use? Custom recipe collections. A personalised cookbook made in a hard cover format turns handwritten family recipes into something you’ll actually pass down.
Best for: Weddings, milestone events, family albums, personalised cookbooks, long-term keepsakes
Sleek & Elegant
Premium Layflat Photobooks
If you want your images to feel like they belong in a gallery or design studio, this is the one. Premium lay-flat coffee table photo books are built for impact. No spine break, no lost detail in the centre fold; just seamless full-page spreads.
This style is especially popular for travel photography, portfolios, and wedding albums where visuals deserve space to breathe. The leather-look cover and presentation box make it feel like something truly special the moment you open it. It’s the closest thing to a published coffee table book, but entirely yours.
Best for: Professional photography, weddings, travel stories, and display-worthy collections

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between soft cover and hard cover photo books?
Soft cover photo books are lighter and more casual, while hard cover photo books are sturdier and designed for long-term keepsakes or display pieces.
What is a lay-flat photo book?
A lay-flat photo book uses a special binding that allows pages to open completely flat, so images can span across two pages without distortion or loss in the centre fold.
How do I make a custom photo book online?
You simply choose your book style, upload your photos, design your pages using the online editor, and place your order. It’s designed to be intuitive even if you’ve never made one before. For more detailed help, you can also connect with us.
How many photos can I include in my photobook?
You can include as many of your photos that you'd like to include in each photobook - the choice is yours!
We've found that some types look best with "collage" style pages (up to 12 images on one page) whilst others look great with full bleed images (one image spread across two pages).
As a guide, we suggest on average 2-3 images per page.
How many pages can each photobook hold?
Our hardcover photobooks start with just 20 pages, though you can always add more pages, up to a maximum of 100 pages.
Do I have to design my photobook myself?
Whilst we don't offer a photobook creation service, we've created multiple design templates for you to choose from. Together with the autofill option, you can create a book in minutes!
Can I save my book and finish it later?
Yes, of course! We understand that interruptions can pop up at anytime. Just make sure to save your project and you can access it again when you're ready.
Can I add text, stickers or borders?
Yes, yes and yes! Can completely customise your photobook, with options such as text, borders, backgrounds, and stickers!
Do you deliver photo books across Australia?
Yes, we deliver Australia-wide, with free delivery available on orders over $100.
