How to Use Canva to Make a Photobook With Photobook Thailand

Create a Photobook Easily With Canva

Making a photobook yourself doesn't have to be complicated anymore, since Canva offers easy-to-use tools and a wide range of templates. Whether or not you have any design background, you can create a photo book that's uniquely your own.

Advantages of Designing a Photobook on Canva

• Easy to use: Whether you're on a computer, tablet, or phone, you can start creating right away
• A wide range of templates: Plenty of ready-made templates to choose from, saving you time so you don't have to start from scratch
• Fully customizable: Choose the size, colors, fonts, and elements to make your photo book truly one of a kind
• Easy to add photos: Quickly upload your photos from any device

Step 1: Open Canva and Search for "Photo Book"

Open the app or go to the Canva website, then type "Photo Book" into the search bar. You'll find a variety of ready-made templates across categories such as travel, weddings, family memories, or special-occasion gifts.

Step 2: Choose Your Favorite Template

Each template comes with a complete set of page designs, ready to hold photos across multiple pages. You can choose a landscape, square, or portrait orientation, based on what Canva's free account supports — which includes 11×8.5 inches and 8×8 inches.

Step 3: Start Customizing Your Book

• Upload photos directly from your phone or computer
  
• Drag photos into the template, or rearrange them however you like
  
• Freely edit text, fonts, background colors, and other design elements
  
• Use photo-editing tools like filters, lighting adjustments, frames, or black-and-white effects to add more depth to your images
  

Step 4: Convenient to Use on Mobile Too

In the Canva app, you can grant access to your photo library and select multiple photos at once to place into your photobook. Cropping images, adjusting their position, or adding captions can all be done right from your phone, with no need for a computer.

Step 5: Download the File for Printing

• Free users can save the file as JPG or PNG
  
• Canva Pro users can save as a high-quality PDF, with Bleed/Crop Mark settings, which is better suited for printing
  

Choosing a Photobook Size in Canva

Photobook sizes in Canva are limited on the free plan, with the most common sizes being:

• 8×8 inches (square)
  
• 11×8.5 inches (landscape)
  

If you want more flexibility with other sizes, or want dimensions that match exactly what Photobook Thailand supports, you can instead choose to design directly through Photobook Thailand's own system from the start.

How to Order Printing With Photobook Thailand

Once you've finished designing in Canva, ordering prints with Photobook Thailand is simple:

Double-check your book, and then place your order.

Tips From Photobook Thailand

• Take or choose photos with a resolution of 300 DPI or higher for the best print quality
  
• Leave a 5mm margin from the edge of the image to prevent important details from being cut off
  
• If you want every page to turn out its best, always check your image sizes before uploading
