How to Choose My Photo Album Wisely?

Nowadays, you no longer need to develop your favorite photos, stick them into an album, and add plastic paper protection. With FlexiLivre, your photos are directly printed in your album on high-quality photographic paper. You can enhance them with texts, titles, and images to immortalize your most memorable moments.

To create a successful book personalized to your style on FlexiLivre, here are 4 important elements to consider.

1. The size of my photo album

When you choose to create a photo album, a selection of models appears. The first choice to make is the desired dimensions and layout for your final book. According to your tastes, your ambitions, and the final use of the product, we offer the following 6 models:

1. Portrait A4 photo book (21 x 29.7 cm), starting at 25.00 €.
2. Landscape A4 photo book (29.7 x 21 cm), starting at 25.00 €.
3. Small square photo book (21 x 21 cm), starting at 10.00 €.
4. Large square photo book (30 x 30 cm), starting at 28.00 €.
5. Portrait A5 photo book (21 x 15 cm), starting at 6.00 €.

It is important to note that large format albums are often chosen for important occasions like a wedding ceremony, while smaller formats are more suited to brochures.

2. The theme of my photo album

Once you have selected the format of your photo album, you must choose the theme. In this case, FlexiLivre offers you 2 options:

1. Either create a theme from A to Z using the free online creation tool.
2. Or choose a pre-existing model on the site among the 120 themes offered that vary according to the occasion (weddings, births, engagements, etc.) and uses (cookery recipes, etc.).

3. The cover of my photo album

A beautiful piece of work can only be enhanced with an appropriate cover to protect it in the best way possible, but especially to give it its book character and blend more easily into your library. FlexiLivre offers you 6 models of covers:

1. Glued softcover for up to 400 pages, starting at 14.00 €.
2. Stapled softcover for up to 36 pages, starting at 6.00€
3. Illustrated hardcover for up to 252 pages, starting at 20.00 €.
4. Metal spiral softcover for up to 200 pages, starting at 14.00 €.
5. Flat-opening hardcover for up to 64 pages, starting at 30 €.

4. The options of my photo album

Once all the previous choices have been made, the little extras that will make a difference when offering it or keeping it for yourself are the options, also called finishes. For example, you can make the following choices:

1. Remove the FlexiLivre logo on the back of your photo album
2. Opt for the "varnish" option, which corresponds to a thin layer of gloss applied to each page
3. Choose the "Manual Check" if you are not entirely sure of yourself at the time of ordering
4. Select a "Gift Box" in which your work will be slipped, giving it prestige and increased resistance to possible shocks during transportation

Generally speaking, we recommend starting with a blank square photo album. This will allow you to get familiar with our creation tool. The layouts on square formats are the simplest, and photos can be easily inserted no matter their dimensions (landscape or square). You can then convert your photo album into another format directly from the application. The application will move and resize each element of your pages. You can also apply a theme to your photo album from our editing application.
