Create a custom Photo Book with more product choice

We make the best custom photo books Australia has to offer

All our Photo Books contain 40 pages as standard (not just 20), with 150gsm quality Silk paper (some go down as low as 100gsm) and the books are bound beautifully and contain fly leaves (which many have done away with). It all adds up to more book for your dollar. Which is important, because your memories deserve it. Whether you call it a photobook, photo album, book of memories, the result is the same - we'll give you the best rated photo books to preserve and share your precious memories.

Easy to make with our free software

Our Editor allows you to create your photo book exactly how you want it. Just choose a theme, apply layouts, backgrounds and embellishments, then drag and drop your photos wherever you want them. It's that easy. Make your photo book online or download our software - the choice is yours.

Note: We recommend that you have your photos organised first to make the drag and drop bit just a little easier!

Expert craftsmanship with professional touches

All photobooks are beautifully case bound and are complete with end papers, something that many others cut out. We think they are important because they protect the front and last papers (and to be honest, it's how a real book has been made for centuries).

Print Quality - the choice is yours

Standard Colour: the perfect keepsake

Beautiful 4 colour digital printing comes as standard. We print all our Standard Colour Photo Books on the latest generation Digital Printing Presses and carefully colour manage all photo book printing. This process results in your photos looking just as good as the day you took them.

4 colour 150gsm premium silk

Hi Colour: best colour for a premium experience

If you want to take your photobook to the next level, print it on the world's newest, very latest generation Hi Colour press. Your colours will be even more vibrant with smoother gradients and finer resolution than in Standard Colour. We achieve this with 7 colour specialty inks instead of 4 colour, use a finer screen mode for superior dot placement and achieve stronger colour control by using premium papers. The end result is more even colour, punch and vibrancy to your precious photos.

Quality paper choices for every budget

There's a paper type for every occasion. Sometimes it's softly textured luster, other times its earthy traditional paper. With a choice of 150gsm Silk or gorgeous 190gsm Photo Pearl paper in Standard Colour, or our brand new upgraded 260gsm Photo Luster in Hi Colour, we've got the paper choices to match your desire.

Premium Silk: setting the standard

150gsm in weight with a slightly off-white colour tone and very smooth feel, Silk is an all-rounder that produces great colour balance with good tones. If nice all round colour reproduction in Standard Colour is your goal, then Silk is the right paper for you.

Photo Pearl: for extra colour depth

Upgrade your Hardcover Photo Book from 150gsm Premium Silk to 190gsm Photo Pearl. With a heavier weight, Photo Pearl is thick and luxurious with a brilliant depth of colour. It has a stunning pearlescent finish, hence its name.

Hi Colour Photo Luster: best in the range

A simply stunning Photo Paper and our latest sheet - now upgraded from 240gsm up to 260gsm with the release of Hi Colour photo book printing. Luster has a very gentle eggshell finish, has exceptional vibrancy and at 260gsm has plenty of heft in the hand. This specialty photo paper provides remarkable dot placement stability to work in harmony with the Hi Colour Press. It reflects light evenly for beautiful visual clarity.

Cover Options

With so many covers to choose from, you'll be sure to find the cover that's right for your photo keepsake. Our Photocovers are vibrant and sleek and our Premium Material covers offer a stylish, sophisticated touch.

Hard Photocover

A hardcover photo book that allows you to design anything at all on the cover. We print the photo book covers on a high quality printing press, laminate it, then bind your cover onto a high quality case.

Your choice of Photo Book binding

We employ classic bookmaking techniques to ensure our Photo Books and albums are of the same high quality as our digital printing. We use state-of-the-art PUR glue for strong perfect binding to ensure your albums will run the distance. Our covers are carefully trimmed and the corners tucked for an elegant finish. Choose from traditional Classic binding or Layflat binding for seamless page spreads.

Classic Photo Books: perfectly bound

Classic photo books have the valley in the middle of the book with that beautiful wave and fall in the sheet that defines a traditional book. You can have up to 200 pages, more pages than with Layflat binding, which means with the maximum pages your book will be a hefty 25mm thick. Pages are bound into the book using a really clever, special glue called PUR. It's clever because when we apply the glue, it cures but stays flexible for life and it's super strong. We've tested it on books up to 5cm thick and then hung the book for hours off a single page - the result? Nothing budges!

Layflat Photo Books: for seamless spreads

Layflat books do exactly that... lay flat. It's the polar opposite of the Classic Photo Book - the book is completely flat from left page all the way to right with no join - it's one big continuous sheet. This sheet is then glued to the one following it, and so on. The result is a super thick bonded page, making the binding unbelievably strong. Print your photo book on either 400gsm E-Photo Lustre or Matte paper which is water resistant and dirt-repellent, Choose from Standard Colour or Hi Colour printing. Layflat Photo Books can hold up to 140 pages.

To create your own personalised Photo Book, simply download and install our editor from our website by clicking on the green 'CREATE NOW' button.

The editor is FREE and easy to use and if you need help, our friendly and knowledgeable customer service team are just an email or phone call away. We also have a useful guide on How to Make a Photo Book.

How do I design a photobook?

Once you’ve selected your preferred photobook size and theme, upload your photos into the editor. You will then find a variety of Page Styles (templates) to help arrange your photos on the pages. You can personalise each page by adding text, backgrounds and other design elements before previewing your creation and placing your order.

What photo book sizes, paper types and cover options do you offer?

We offer a wide range of photobook sizes in landscape, square and portrait orientations. You can choose from different paper stocks including 150gsm Premium Silk, 190gsm Photo Pearl and 260gsm Photo Luster.

You can find examples and more information about these options on our Photo Books page above.

How long does it take to receive my photobook once I order?

We aim to dispatch your order within 7 business days from upload, but it is usually much faster than this. We recommend placing your order as early as possible if you have a deadline to meet, to ensure you receive it in time.

We produce all products using an express manufacturing process, so we can't speed things up. They then go through a quality assurance process. If we find an issue, which doesn’t happen often, it can cause a slight delay. This is why we recommend allowing the full 7 business days for production.

Delivery within Australia is by express courier. Once your order has been dispatched, allow 2-3 business days for delivery to metropolitan areas or 2-7 business days if you live in a rural or remote area. Delivery times are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed.

What quality can I expect of your Photo Books, and can I see samples?

You can expect to receive beautifully crafted products made from high quality materials. Our photobooks are professionally printed on the latest generation digital printing presses and we offer a choice of either 4 or 7 colour inks (for extra vibrancy). We use the latest binding techniques and include end papers in all Classic albums to protect your photos. Our range of premium papers produce great colour balance and tones. Feel free to check out what our customers are saying on our Customer Reviews page.

We're happy to send you some 8" x 6" samples so that you can see the print and paper quality of our products. Please contact us to let us know your address and that you would like some samples, and we'll send them out to you.

What should be included in a photobook?

When creating a photobook, include a variety of photos that tell a story or capture meaningful moments, such as special events, travels, or everyday memories. You can enhance the book by adding text such as dates, or short descriptions to provide context. Consider using full page images for hero shots together with 3-4 photos on a page for snapshots. You can use themed layouts to create visual interest throughout the book.

Can I add text to my photo book?

Yes, you can add as much text as you like to your photobook in the albumworks editor. Simply click the ‘Add Text’ button to add captions, descriptions or dates alongside your photos. You can customise the font, size, colour and placement of the text to suit your design preferences.
