Square CEWE PHOTOBOOK

You should take into consideration the finishes, the bind type, durability and the use of the photo book when choosing your cover type. The hardcover is the most durable option and it can be customised with professional finishes such as metallic or glossy embossing with Highlights. A hardcover will stand the test of time while regularly being opened and can also support photographic papers with layflat binding, where there is no gap between pages. The softcover is thinner and much more flexible, and you can't have Highlights, photographic papers or layflat binding. The booklet cover is great for smaller projects, with the softest and thinnest cover option, giving you the least protection or customisation for your photo book, but it can be great for projects that are not intended to be kept forever.

Yes, you can upgrade the paper quality. We’d recommend choosing a photographic paper option instead of a classic one if you're looking for a thicker, sturdier paper. Photographic papers are thicker (368 gsm - 382 gsm depending on your choice) than the Classic paper types (160 gsm and 200 gsm) and choosing one of them will automatically create you a photo book with layflat binding (where there’s no gap between pages).

You can tell if your pictures' resolution or quality is high enough with the help of our Smart Quality Indicator, which will you tell if a photo will print well or not. When dropping a photo into the editing area online, in the Creator Software or via the Mobile App, you'll either see a green, yellow or red smiley face, indicating if the photo is good, medium or poor quality respectively. You'll also spot a warning triangle when the photo is of poor quality. In that case, we recommend changing the photo for another, or making the photo smaller on the page, until you see the smiley face change colour.
