Sound familiar? The photos are there, the plan is there, and the book still is not. That is normal, and it is rarely about the photos. Here is who tends to get stuck, where it gets hard, and what we see in thousands of klikkie photo books.

Who finds it hard to make a photo book?

Almost everyone who has tried. These are the three groups we hear from most:

• Busy parents with thousands of photos of the kids and no free evening to sort them. The folder grows faster than the book ever could. For them, getting help with the sorting and choosing is the biggest win.
• The postponers: “I will do it after the holidays.” Then the next holiday comes. A photo book feels like a project, so it waits for a free weekend that never arrives. Starting with one sentence makes it small enough to do today.
• People with too many ideas. Calm or colourful, one big photo per page or lots of small ones, travel style or classic? When every style could work, it is hard to commit to one. In klikkie you try a direction and change the whole book in one go, like “make it calmer”, without starting over.

What is the hardest part of making a photo book?

Getting started. The first step, adding your photos, is by far the biggest one. Once the photos are in, it goes quickly: more than 8 in 10 of those books are built, usually in about a minute.

So if you have been putting off your photo book, you are closer than you think. The hard part is not the book. It is opening the folder.

Why is choosing photos for a photo book so hard?

Because you have too many good ones. People add around 32 photos to a klikkie book, and about half of them end up on the pages. Deciding which half is the tiring part: ten versions of the same sunset, one with closed eyes, one slightly blurry, one where everyone is laughing.

That is where klikkie helps. It suggests your best shots, with the best smiles, open eyes and sharp photos, and shows you which photos are in the book. You decide what stays. Read more about choosing which photos go in.

Why does designing the pages take so long?

Because every page is a small puzzle: which photos belong together, which one gets the big spot, what goes on the cover. Doing that by hand for 20 or 30 pages easily takes an evening.

In klikkie the layout is done for you in about a minute. You get a complete book with pages, cover and a clear order, and you change what you want from there.

What should you write in a photo book?

A few words are enough: where you were, when, who was there, what made you laugh. You do not need a story on every page. And it is worth it: books with text are ordered about four times as often as books without.

A blank text box is what stops most people, so klikkie writes the captions for you. Want different words? Just say them.

How long does it take to make a photo book?

Less than you would expect. In klikkie, adding photos takes under half a minute, picking the best ones under half a minute and building the book about a minute. People who order usually go from their photos to a finished book in under an hour, in one go.

What do you do when your book is ready?

Take a moment to look it through and make it yours. Seeing the finished book is when most people start to fine-tune: a different cover, a photo out, a calmer page. That is part of making a book, not a sign something went wrong.

Here is how to review your book before you order. With klikkie you can make those changes just by saying what you want.

How do you make a photo book the easy way?

Hand over the jobs that make it hard, and keep the part that is fun: the memories. This is how klikkie takes each step off your plate:

The easiest way of all is to just talk: tell klikkie what your book is about and it does the rest. Here is how making a photo book by voice works. Books start at €14, see all klikkie photo books.
