General Information
How much do they cost?
For exact pricing on each trim size please see our Book Binding Specifications page. In general, for softcover books the base price for creation, set up and binding is $4.99, then each page costs $.25. For example, a 20 page photo book will cost $9.99 and a huge 100 page photo book will only cost $29.99! The price is the same regardless of the book size you choose, or if you full bleed the pictures or not. For more details, see Photo Book PricingHow big are they?
We offer several trim sizes. Check out our Book Binding Specifications page.What do the pages look like?
The interior paper has a satin feel (you can select photo silk if you prefer). Print quality is outstanding! Colors in your printed book will look different than images on your screen because there is a difference between ink colors and screen colors.What do the covers look like?
The covers are beautiful. They are full color, laminated on heavy coverstock paper, and the binding is "perfect bound." Our photo books look just like a soft-bound coffee table book you would find at your local book store.Why should I choose Viovio to create my Photo Book?
See how Viovio's Photo Books compare to My Publisher and Buzznet.com.How big do my photos need to be for Photo Books?
The minimum recommended size for Photo Books is 2 megapixels (1600x1200). However, the larger the image, the more crisp the photo book pages will appear. A 4 or 5 megapixel image will create a beautiful, full page print for all photo book sizes. Going to even higher resolutions has a small noticeable increase in quality.I want to make a photo book and don't know where to begin.
