How many photos should I include in a photo book?

30–60 photos is a good starting point for a standard book. Enough to tell a story without crowding every page.

Do I need design experience to make a photo book?

Not at all. SmartAutofill handles the layout for you automatically. Upload your photos, review the result, and order — no design skills needed.

Can I make a photo book from my phone?

Yes. Upload directly from your camera roll on any phone. If you prefer a bigger screen, use desktop and scan the QR code to pull your photos across.

How long does a photo book take to arrive in the UK?

Inkifi prints in our own UK lab, so delivery is typically a couple of days — much faster than most photo book services.

What is the cheapest photo book at Inkifi?

Softcover photo books start from £19. Our full range goes up to luxury fabric layflat books from £75 for a premium finish.

What size photo book should I make?

Square and landscape formats work well for most collections — holidays, family life, a baby's first year. If you're unsure, square is a safe choice that suits both portrait and landscape photos.

How do I pick the best photos for a photo book?

Create a dedicated folder on your camera roll and add your favourites as you go. Aim for 30–60 images. Don't overthink it — if you're unsure about a photo, include it. SmartAutofill will arrange everything for you.

Can I edit my photo book after ordering?

Once an order is placed it goes straight to print, so changes aren't possible after checkout. Take a few minutes to flick through the preview before you order.

What size is a mini photo book?

Inkifi’s mini photo book is 140 × 140 mm. It’s a compact softcover album for travel highlights, gifts and everyday stories.

Which photo book size is best for weddings?

For a main wedding album choose a premium layflat square such as 26 × 26 cm. For additional keepsakes, the 30 × 30 cm layflat photo book is a great option.

What size is best for travel photo books?

For portability, the 140 × 140 mm mini works well. For bigger spreads, choose a 254 × 254 mm square or an A4 landscape format via our hardcover photo book.

How do I pick the right photo book size?

Match size to purpose (gift vs. display), number of photos, and where it will live (coffee table vs. shelf vs. on-the-go). Larger sizes suit more photos and dramatic full-bleed spreads.
