How to make a family yearbook from your phone in minutes

December comes, and your phone holds a whole year. Birthdays, holidays, first days of school and a thousand ordinary Tuesdays. A family yearbook turns that camera roll into something everyone can pick up from the shelf. Here is how to make one from your phone, without spending your evenings sorting.

How do you make a family yearbook from your phone?

Add the photos of your year, tell klikkie it is a yearbook and let it build the book. Then you look it through and order. Step by step it looks like this.

1. Open klikkie and choose a year book. Or tap the microphone and say “Let’s make a book of our year.”
2. Add the photos of your year straight from your phone. The whole album is fine.
3. klikkie suggests your best photos, with sharp shots, open eyes and the best smiles. You decide what stays.
4. The book is built for you, with a cover, pages and captions.
5. Look it through, change what you like and order.

A year is a lot of photos

Year books start bigger than any other klikkie book. 1 in 10 year books begins with around 250 photos or more. For travel and baby books that is closer to 110. That is exactly why doing it by hand takes so long.

You do not have to sort them first. Add the whole album and let klikkie do the first round.

How do you get rid of duplicate photos?

Ask klikkie. Say “remove the doubles” and the near-identical shots go, so you keep the best of ten burst photos instead of all ten. Then klikkie suggests the strongest photos for the book and you decide what stays. Read more about choosing which photos go in.

Month by month, in the right order

Say “put the pages in date order” and your book runs from January to December. Want a clear start for every season? Ask klikkie for a new chapter, for example “start a new chapter for the summer”.

What do you write in a family yearbook?

A few words per page are enough. Who was there, where it was, what everyone still talks about. And it is worth it, books with text are ordered about four times as often as books without.

klikkie writes the captions for you. The easiest way is to talk it through. Tap the microphone, scroll through your year and say what happened. “This was Sam’s first swimming diploma.” klikkie turns it into the text on that page. In voice conversations, 1 in 4 people tell the story behind their photos, and those stories end up in the book.

Talk through your year together

A yearbook is a family project, and talking makes it one. Sit on the sofa, scroll through the months and let everyone add a memory. Talking is about three times faster than typing, and nobody has to hold the keyboard. See how making a photo book by voice works.

How long does it take to make a yearbook?

A few minutes. Once your photos are in, klikkie builds a year book in under 3 minutes. Looking it through and making it yours can take a little longer, and that is the fun part.

Pick a cover that fits your year

klikkie has year book covers with bold numbers, 365 Days, Oh the places we’ve been and a retro look, all as a sturdy hardcover. Books start at €14, see all klikkie year books. Making a book of your baby’s first year? Here is the first year photo book without the scrapbook stress.
