Layflat Photo Book
from $16.99What is a Layflat Photo Book?
A Layflat Photo Book is a premium book with special binding that allows the pages to lie completely flat when opened.
Unlike a traditional Photo Book where the pages curve up into the spine, a layflat design means every single page is fully visible from edge to edge.
With no awkward curve or spring-back, Layflat Photo Books are ideal for displaying on a coffee table or sharing with a group.
The photos are presented without any distortion from the spine, offering a clean, professional, and luxurious viewing experience that makes your memories feel truly special.

Layflat Photo Book FAQs
What exactly is the difference between a standard and a Layflat Photo Book?
A standard Photo Book has pages that curve into the spine. A Layflat Photo Book uses a special hinge binding, which allows every page to lie perfectly flat when the book is open, creating a more luxurious, hands-free viewing experience.
Are layflat pages worth the extra cost?
For your most important memories, absolutely yes! The experience is completely different. We use a special premium paper with a beautiful satin finish that looks and feels like a professional photo print. But it’s the technology within the paper that makes it worth it: it's engineered to be both water-repellent and completely resistant to chipping or cracking in the center crease. It elevates your book to a true art-book quality that’s built to be enjoyed for a lifetime.
How do I select the layflat option for my Journi Photo Book?
It's simple! First, create your Hardcover Photo Book as you normally would in the Journi app or online editor. When you're ready to order and go to your shopping bag, you'll see an option to upgrade your book to the Layflat Photo Book binding. Just select it before you complete your purchase.
Layflat Photo Books can have a maximum of 103 pages and can be created from the following Photo Book formats: 12 x 12 inches (30 x 30 cm), 8 x 8 inches (21 x 21 cm), 12 x 8 inches (30 x 21 cm).
How long does a Photo Book take to print and ship?
Your Photo Book will be printed within 3 - 5 days. We strive for quick production times for our Layflat Photo Books. Shipping times will then vary depending on your location.
We always provide an estimated delivery date during checkout, so you'll know when to expect your beautiful new book.
