What is a custom magazine?

It's a magazine that's all about you. Your photo and names are on the cover, the table of contents lists your sections, and every spread tells a moment: a trip, a night out, the small rituals of everyday life. Unlike a photo album, the pictures fill the whole page, with headlines and captions, the way they do in print.

How to make your own magazine online

  1. Pick your page count, from 20 to 48, and buy your credit. You then have 60 days to make it, and we extend it if you need.
  2. Open the editor on your phone or computer, choose a template and upload your photos.
  3. Fine-tune the crops, headlines and captions. Add a whole letter on one page if you feel like it.
  4. Send it to print. We check it, print it and it arrives in 6 to 12 business days.

What occasions is it for?

A year together, an anniversary, a wedding, a trip, a new baby, a friend's thirtieth. A magazine works whenever there's a story and a few dozen good photos. For couples, see our personalized photo magazine; for gifting, our gifts for couples page.

How much does it cost?

The price only depends on the page count, and shipping is included. Extra copies cost much less than the first, which is handy for the parents. Every price, page by page, is on the magazine page.

Common questions

All questions

I'm not a designer. Will it actually look good?

Yes, because you never start from a blank page. Every template comes with a cover, sections and frames already in place. Add your photos, we arrange them in the order they were taken, and both your names land on the cover. Tweak whatever you like, and a real person checks it before it prints.

How many photos do I need?

About 30 photos for 20 pages, 35 to 50 for 24 pages and 60 to 90 for 48 pages. A few sharp photos beat lots of blurry ones, since the magazine prints them big. You can also add pages in the editor and only pay the difference.

Are phone photos good enough?

Yes. Photos from any recent phone print great at magazine size. Just skip screenshots and pictures saved from messaging apps, which are usually compressed. Use the original. The editor warns you if a photo might print blurry.

Stapled or perfect-bound: what's the difference?

Stapled (saddle-stitched) is how newsstand magazines are bound: two staples in the fold, and it opens nice and flat. It comes in 20 to 48 pages, in steps of 4. Perfect binding gives you a flat, glued spine, like a special edition: 24 to 48 pages, in steps of 2. Same price for the same page count, so pick the one you like.

Why do I pay before I make it?

So you're never rushed. Your credit waits for you for 60 days: no expiring cart, no timer. Make it on a free evening, alone or together, and come back as often as you like. Need more time? We extend it, no questions asked, by 30, 60 or 90 days, in one click or by replying to our email.
