Understanding Photo Book prices: Options for every budget
So, you’ve decided to create a Photo Book. Before you dive in, you're probably wondering, "What's a reasonable price for a Photo Book?"
This guide will walk you through exactly what influences the cost, so you can design a beautiful, high-quality Photo Book that’s perfect for your story and your wallet.

What affects the price of a Photo Book?
The final cost of your personalized Photo Book comes down to four simple factors.
You’re in complete control of every choice to perfectly match your vision and your budget.
Your cover: From modern softcover to timeless hardcover 📕
The style of cover you choose plays a big role in the final look, feel, and price. Our modern softcovers are a fantastic, budget-friendly choice, offering a flexible and lightweight feel perfect for casual gifts or travel souvenirs.
For a more substantial, heirloom-quality gift, a hardcover provides extra durability and a classic, bookstore-quality look, making it a more premium option.
The size: From pocket-sized to a coffee table star ⭐️
Naturally, a larger book that uses more materials will have a higher price point than a more compact one.
For a sweet and affordable keepsake that’s easy to pop in a bag, a smaller format like 8 x 6 inches (21 x 15 cm) is perfect.
If you want to create a stunning statement piece for the coffee table, a grander size like 12 x 12 inches (30 x 30 cm) makes for a truly impressive and luxurious experience.
The length of your story: From short recap to epic saga 📚
The more pages you add to tell your story, the more the price will increase. Our books start at a minimum of 25 pages, perfect for recapping a single event like a birthday party or a weekend getaway.
For a family yearbook or an extended travel adventure, you can easily add more pages to create an epic volume with 349 pages.
The binding: Upgrading to a luxurious Layflat Photo Book 📖
For the ultimate luxury, you can upgrade your Hardcover Photo Book to our premium Layflat binding. This special technique uses extra-thick, water-resistant paper and allows your book to open a full 180 degrees.
It's our most premium option, designed for those once-in-a-lifetime events like weddings or milestone anniversaries.
🇺🇸 Prices in US Dollars ($ USD)
To make finding the right option simple, we've broken down our pricing into three clear tables: our timeless Hardcovers, modern Softcovers, and premium Layflat Hardcovers.

Your pricing questions, answered
Are there any hidden costs like shipping to consider?
That's a great question, and we believe in being completely transparent. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout and depend on your location and the shipping method you choose.
We work with local printing partners in the US, UK, Australia, and Europe to keep these costs as low as possible and get your book to you faster.
Which Photo Book is the best value for a beginner?
If you're creating your first book and looking for the best value, our Small Landscape Softcover is a fantastic starting point. It offers the same beautiful print quality at our most affordable price, making it perfect for trying out the process or creating a gift for a smaller occasion. For a timeless keepsake, our Medium Square Hardcover is the most popular choice, offering a perfect balance of premium quality and great value.
Is there a monthly subscription or commitment?
Absolutely not. We believe in creative freedom, not lock-in contracts. You only pay for the products you decide to print, whenever you want to print them. The Journi app is free to use, and there are no subscriptions or hidden fees.
Will I see the final price before I order?
Yes, always. While you have the freedom to add and remove pages during the creative process, the Journi app will show you a clear, itemized price summary of your final selections (like cover type, size, and page count) before you proceed to the payment step. You are always in full control, so there are no surprises at checkout.
