Project Ideas From Our Community
After more than 40 hours of research and testing, including time spent making eight photo books and consulting with a master printer on the results, we recommend Shutterfly as the best online photo book service. Shutterfly offers the best combination of price, customization options, and photo quality—if you use a coupon. Shutterfly makes it easy to create a clean and simple photo book with image quality on a par with books almost twice as expensive.
Our Shutterfly book was also delivered in pristine condition, neatly wrapped in plastic and shipped inside a sturdy cardboard box. To learn what features are important in a photo book service, I researched 28 companies and eventually tested eight, compiling a mixture of images from high-resolution DSLRs and iPhones, as well as color and resolution test images to most directly compare the image quality of different books. I also showed the final photo books to a number of experts. The first, Shamus Clisset, works as a master printer at Laumont Studio.
I also consulted with Michael Hession, head of photo and video at Wirecutter, and our designer Ryan Hines to get their thoughts on image quality, typefaces, and overall design. And I interviewed another kind of expert: He makes photo books for all his vacations, music shows, and photoshoots for friends, as well as a yearly family photo album.
If you want to create an album of your digital photos, a photo book service is absolutely the way to go. Digital photo books look much sleeker and more elegant than their DIY predecessors. Digital photo books can be customized to fit any occasion, such as a family trip, a baby book, or even a school yearbook.
They also make great gifts for grandparents and family. If you want to make a fancier book documenting a special event such as a wedding, consider upgrading to a layflat book, which has a special kind of binding that allows two-page spreads to lay completely flat without a crease in the middle. You might also consider choosing a more luxurious cover, such as leather or crushed silk, to match the occasion.
If you have a collection of vintage photo albums or boxes of family photos sitting around, you might consider scanning those photos and upgrading to a digital photo book.
Book Review: 50 Photo Icons
Here are our recommendations for the best photo scanning services. We researched 28 online photo book services, looking for one that would allow you to create a customizable book with captions and multiple photos on one page. And though we tested one book that offers Photoshop-like total control over the layout of your book, we dismissed any service that looked too technical or complex to use for someone with no editing experience.
Many photo printing services offer frequent, deep discounts and promotions throughout the year, which made an accurate pricing comparison hard to do. We valued image quality and experience of using the software over variable pricing in choosing these books. We took the finished books to master printer Shamus Clisset, who pointed out the printing irregularities and errors in certain books. We used the same set of family vacation photos to make page photo books using eight different services. These photos contained groups of people, dense jungles, and a few wispy plumes of volcanic smoke that proved very useful in finding unwanted splotches or bars.

- Pet Parents: A Journey Through Unconditional Love and Grief.
- An Intense Session with Two Mistresses?
- Whats Wrong With...Dad.
We laid out each book in the same order, with as close as we could get to a simple white template. All of the services allow you to change fonts, but that can be a hassle and we decided that the assigned font should look nice enough. When available, we took advantage of special features, such as two-page layouts or panoramic spreads.

We also used the default cover and paper options which were the cheapest or second-cheapest available for each book. At the end of each book, we included large, high-resolution images of a dark bridge and a budding purple flower to see how well the service could transfer these details into print.
