Photo Book Printing: Turn Your Best Shots Into a Stunning Publication

Some photographs deserve more than a screen. Whether you're a professional photographer looking to showcase your portfolio, an enthusiast wanting to preserve precious memories, or a creative looking to self-publish a visual project, our custom photo books give your images the format they deserve. At Pixartprinting, we offer high-quality photo book printing from just one single copy, with a wide choice of sizes, paper types, binding styles and cover finishes — all produced to the highest standard and delivered to your door with free shipping, always.

Personalised Photo Books: Hardback or Paperback

Our personalised photo books are available in two binding types to suit different needs and budgets. Paperback perfect binding offers a clean, contemporary finish that's ideal for photography portfolios, lookbooks or promotional publications. For a more premium, lasting result, our hardback perfect binding is the ideal choice. The hardback cover features a 2 mm thick cardboard core covered with 170 gsm paper, reinforced with special gauze along the spine for extra durability. Endpapers made from 160 gsm Extraprint paper add a refined finishing touch to the inside of the cover. Hardback covers are always laminated — choose from matt, gloss or soft-touch lamination to complete the look. Not sure which binding is right for your project? Our guide on choosing the best type of binding is a great place to start.

Custom Photo Books in a Format That Suits Your Vision

We understand that no two photography projects are the same, which is why our custom photo books are available in a range of standard formats as well as fully custom sizes. Choose from A4 (21 x 29.7 cm), A5 (14.8 x 21 cm), the popular square format (21 x 21 cm or 30 x 30 cm) or the elegant 16.5 x 24 cm option — or simply enter your own measurements to create a truly bespoke publication. Both portrait and landscape orientations are available, giving you complete creative freedom over the layout and presentation of your images.

When setting up your file, remember that the total page count must be a multiple of 2 and should include the 4 pages that make up the cover (front, back, inside front and inside back). We recommend downloading our Template and Instructions to ensure your artwork is set up correctly before placing your order.

Photo Book Printing on Papers That Do Your Images Justice

The quality of your paper can make or break a photo book, which is why we offer five carefully selected paper stocks to suit different styles and aesthetics.

Classic Demimatt is a white, wood-free matt coated paper that enhances photographic detail and produces crisp, clear text — a versatile choice for most photography projects. If you prefer a brighter, more vivid result, Classic Gloss delivers rich, full colours with a silky sheen that makes images really pop. For a more natural aesthetic, Extraprint is a brilliant white smooth uncoated stock with a velvety surface that produces excellent colour depth and clarity. Rembrandt, a stipple-textured uncoated paper with a laid finish on both sides, adds an elegant and unusual quality that works particularly well for fine art and editorial photography. Finally, Underwood — our Woodstock birch option — offers an ivory-toned, natural feel with a surface that recalls recycled paper, complete with subtle texture and character. It's the ideal choice for photographers whose work has an organic, earthy or sustainably minded aesthetic.

Cover Finishes That Make Your Custom Photo Book Stand Out

Your cover is the first thing people see, and we offer a range of lamination and special finish options to ensure it makes the right impression. Choose from matt lamination for a refined, understated look, gloss lamination for a vibrant and polished finish, or soft-touch lamination for a luxurious, velvety feel that invites people to pick it up.

Want to go a step further? Our special cover finishes add a truly premium dimension to your photo book. 3D varnish creates a raised, tactile coating that adds depth to selected design elements, while gold foil and silver foil bring a sophisticated metallic sheen that elevates your cover from beautiful to extraordinary.
