To ensure the highest quality output for your printed keepsakes, we recommend uploading photos in either .jpg or .heic format. While .png files are accepted, we suggest using .jpg or .heic to avoid potential slowness or technical issues with our "Automagic" editing feature. 

For optimal print quality, your photos should be at least 4MB in size with a resolution of 1600x1600 pixels. Currently, the maximum upload file size is 10MB.

Which File Formats Are Recommended for Uploading My Photos?

Yes, you can make adjustments to the photos you've uploaded to your Scribble book. To edit a photo, simply tap on the photo tile to see the page preview. From there, you can rotate, crop, and adjust the colors of your photo. You can also add text to the page, and if you're not happy with your changes or Scribble's suggestions, you can always revert to the original photo.

Can I Make Adjustments To The Photos I've Uploaded To My Scribble Book?

You can add photos of your child doing the activities in the book, or even add a photo of your child on the cover. This is a great way to create a keepsake that captures not just the artwork, but the whole experience of creativity and imagination. It's also a wonderful way to show how much your child has grown and changed over time.

Can I Add Photos That Aren't Artwork To My Scribble Book?

You can include all types of art in your Scribble books and wrapping paper, whether it's 2D or 3D, big or small. We support photos, drawings, paintings, collages, and text-based art like poetry and comics. Even 3D objects like Lego creations, science fair projects, or trophies are welcome. No matter the shape or size, let your creativity run wild!

Scribble's advanced computer vision algorithms do some pretty magical things to your children's artwork photos so that they turnout amazing in a hardcover photo book. Our photo cleanup process is continually being torture tested by our own children (6 and up) with the intent that creating a photo book can be painless and something that your kids can be a part of too. Below&nbsp;are some of the steps that we go through for every photo that you upload.

Throw it on the floor or a table to photograph your artwork. As long as there is reasonable color contrast, we'll remove the background from your photo (for example, no white paper on a white counter top). This allows us to isolate the artwork and add a background color in a later step.

Taking the perfectly straight photo can be a bit of a juggling act sometimes. We take the anxiety out of making sure you're perfectly aligned over your artwork and automatically correct most off-angle photos&nbsp;or incorrectly rotated photos.

Our smartphone cameras do an amazing job making our photos look great in imperfect situations. We take it a step further and tune elements like white balance, contrast, vibrance, and saturation. 

We analyze the colors in every photo and suggest a background color for each artwork piece. You can globally select a color theme based on our suggestions or optionally override a background color suggestion and choose one that suits the mood.

What is Automagic Book Creation?

Our custom books are handmade in the USA and feature interior pages&nbsp; printed on heavy 100# matte coated paper with premium color inks. Our covers are casebound matte laminated for a durable and vibrant, gallery-worthy appearance.

How Many Images of Art Can Be on a Page?

Our printing presses require that our books have at minimum of 24 pages, otherwise the pages might not glue properly and could fall out. They also have a maximum limit of 200 pages due to the structural limitation of the binding.

When it comes to your physical Scribble book, please note that a "page" refers to each side of a sheet of paper. This means that in a book with content on both sides of the paper, each side counts as a separate page. For example, if your Scribble book has 48 pages, it will contain 24 sheets of paper and consist of 48 pieces of art.
