Photobook Layout Service
Too many photos? We'll do the hard part.
It's easy to come home from a trip—or finish a year—with hundreds or even thousands of photos. Picking the best ones and arranging them into a book is where a lot of people get stuck. You can hand that part to us.

Prices are for the service only. The photobook is ordered separately.
Which one?
- You've already chosen your photos but don't want to make collages: Layout.
- You have a big folder and want us to pick, one photo per page: Culling.
- You have a big folder and want us to do everything, then show you before we print: Culling + layout.
How it works (culling + layout)
- Order your book and add the service. Pick a 5×5 or 8×8 photobook, add culling + layout to the same order, and check out.
- Send the folder. Upload your photos to your order, or share a Google Drive or Dropbox link. Put any must-have photos in a separate folder so we know to include them.
- We choose and arrange. We pick the photos and lay them out in simple collages, adjusting brightness and contrast where needed.
- You check the layout. One round of revisions is included. More rounds are available for an extra charge.
- We print and ship. Production starts once you approve the layout. Then the book ships by LBC on the next Tuesday or Friday.
What "simple collages" means
A page can hold one photo or a few, arranged cleanly with white borders. No themes, stickers or background art: just your photos, given room.
Who it's for
- Wedding files from your photographer: a whole folder of images, and no time to choose.
- A year of phone photos: birthdays, weekends and the everyday stuff, all in one folder.
- A trip with photos from everyone: combine everyone's photos into one folder and let us sort through the duplicates.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to order a book separately?
Yes. Layout, Culling, and Culling + Layout are add-on services for a 5×5 or 8×8 photobook. The photobook is purchased separately.
How do I send my photos?
Upload them to your order, or share a Google Drive or Dropbox link. If you share a link, make it public or share it with fotograbooks@gmail.com, and name the folder Your Name – Order Number – Book Title.
Can I make sure certain photos are included?
Yes. Put them in a separate "must include" folder.
Will I see the layout before you print?
Only with culling + layout, which includes one round of revisions. More rounds are available for an extra charge. Layout-only and culling-only orders go straight to print.
Do you edit the photos?
The layout service includes basic brightness and contrast adjustment. We don't retouch or heavily edit photos.
Can I order layout once for several copies of the same book?
Yes. One layout fee covers one book layout, so order a single layout service for identical copies.
