How does a Classic Book work?

How to make a Classic book.

Classic Books allow you to manually select and add photos from sources such as Google Photos or directly from your phone’s Photo Library. You can also create Classic Books on the web at Chatbooks.com.

With Classic Books, you can easily:

  • Review and arrange photos

  • Add captions

  • Edit pages

  • Choose exactly which photos you’d like included

Classic Books are not part of a subscription. You simply place your order once your book is complete. Because of this, we often think of Classic Books as our “one-and-done” photo books.

Classic Books can range from 20 to 366 pages and include 1 photo per page by default, unless you choose a collage layout.

To get started:

  1. Tap Classic Photo Books in the app

  2. Follow the prompts to create your book

  3. Choose between:

    • 6x6

    • 8x8

    • 10x10

Both softcover and hardcover options are available, though please note that 10x10 books are only available in hardcover.
