Can I use scanned photos in my project?

Yes — scanned photos can look fantastic in your Photo Book, as long as they’re scanned at a high enough resolution.

We’ve had many customers create beautiful albums using scanned images — especially for family history projects and life stories.

Scanning Tips for Best Results:

  • Scan at 600 dpi — this gives you flexibility in how large you can display your photos without losing quality.

  • Avoid scanning higher than 600 dpi — it won’t improve the image quality, but it will create very large files, which can slow down your computer and our editor, and may cause issues when uploading your project.

  • Clean your photos before scanning — any dust or smudges will show up in print.

  • Crop your images after scanning to remove unwanted white borders or edges.
