Our sturdy, glossy-coated board books are a must-have for the little ones in your life. Personalizing an entire book of photos may seem like a serious undertaking, but we’re here to help!

Read along to customize your next board book with ease.

If you’re new around here, our Custom Board Book of Names & Faces is a great place to start. The book itself is sturdy, to keep up with the most active little hands. But the real magic happens when your photos meet our pages.

Shiny, Happy People

The large (5×5″) glossy pages of this book are begging for closeups. This is the perfect time to dig out the selfies and let those huge smiles shine.

Pro Tip: Upload a bunch of photos at the same time & look more closely at them in our light table editor. You can pull photos from your computer or social media, and then use our filters to sort them by date taken or file name, and drag them into your board book.

Once you have uploaded your photos, you can simply drag & drop them into the pages of your book.

There Are No Rules!

Who are we to say that Mom is on page one and the Cousins get stuck on page nine? You’re the boss. You can include photos that feature one family member or multiple. And these pages are yours to put in any order you like. That’s why next to the add (+) and remove (-) pages icons, you’ll see a set of arrows to reorder your pages.

Just a couple of clicks and you’re ready to preview the pages in their new order.
