Got Questions?

What’s the difference between Hardcover and Softcover Photo Books?

Hardcover Photo Books are bound with durable, hard-wearing covers with a thick cardboard base, firm spine, and choice of Glossy or Matte finishes, plus three different paper types. Choose Hardcover Photo Books for cherished keepsakes, gifts, and professional portfolios.

Softcover Photo Books have thinner, more flexible covers made with high-quality cardstock and a softer spine. We offer Softcover Photo Books with a Glossy cover and Everyday Semi-gloss papers. They’re a great choice for more casual and lower-budget projects.

You can read more about Mixbook’s cover options here: Hardcover vs. Softcover Photo Books: The Ultimate Guide.

Can I put portrait and landscape photos in an 8.5x11 photo book?

Yes! An 8.5x11 book has portrait-format pages (taller than they are wide, like a sheet of printer paper). These pages can accommodate portrait-format photos at full-page size, with or without a border. You can also display square and landscape photos with white space along the sides or top and bottom.

All Mixbook formats are suitable for varied layout options that arrange photos of different sizes and shapes together in a balanced composition.

You can also use Mixbook Studio™ tools to easily crop, rotate, and re-size your photos, and even transform them into creative shapes like hearts, circles, and stars.

How do I choose the best size and cover options for my project?

The best size and cover options for any project depend on your personal preferences, the types of photos in your collection, and budget considerations. For more, read our guide: How to Choose the Best Size, Cover and Paper Types for a Photo Book.

How can I change my photo book size or cover type?

When you launch a new project in Mixbook Studio™, select the icon for a landscape, square, or portrait format in the pop-up window. If you intend to order an 8.5x11 hardcover book, choose the portrait-shaped icon. You will also get the chance to change or confirm the format, size, cover, and paper types after clicking “Order.”

Tip: If you have designed your book in a different format and changed your mind before ordering, be sure to review the pages. Some elements might shift or be resized due to the format change, so take the time to review the pages and make any necessary edits.

Can I put photos on the cover page of my book?

Absolutely! Just like the inner pages of your photo book, the cover page can feature one or more photos along with custom text, stickers, and backgrounds. For inspiration, check out these 9 creative photo album cover ideas.
