You started with good intentions. Picked a template, uploaded some photos, dragged them into boxes. Then life got in the way and the tab stayed open for three months. Sound familiar? There's a better way.
Skip the DIY — Start Your Book →DIY photo book tools promise an easy experience. But here's what actually happens:
The problem isn't motivation. You genuinely want this book to exist. The problem is that designing a beautiful photo book is real work, and most people don't have 10+ hours to spare.
| DIY (Shutterfly, Mixbook, etc.) | Remeet | |
|---|---|---|
| Your time | 8-15 hours | 5 minutes |
| Photo selection | You pick every photo | We curate from everything you share |
| Design | Templates you fill in | Custom editorial layout by a designer |
| Captions | You write them (most people skip this) | We write them (you edit if you want) |
| Revisions | You redo pages yourself | Just tell us what to change |
| Result | Template-based, repetitive layouts | Editorial-quality, unique book |
| Print quality | Standard digital print | Premium hardcover, archival 200gsm paper |
| Completion rate | Many go unfinished | Every book gets completed |
We look through all your photos — 200 or 2,000 — and select the 100-150 strongest moments. We remove duplicates, filter out the blurry shots, and keep the ones that tell your story.
No templates, no grids. Every spread is uniquely designed with thoughtful pacing, white space, full-bleed photos, and typography that matches the mood. Like a magazine, not a photo dump.
We write specific, personal captions based on your photos and context. Not generic "Summer 2024" labels — real stories about the moments captured.
No editor to wrestle with. Just say "Swap the cover photo" or "Add more beach photos." We make the changes and send an updated proof. Unlimited revisions before printing.
Digital Book: $69 — shareable link + PDF, unlimited edits
Printed Book: $199 — premium hardcover, 80+ pages, free US shipping
Extra copies: from $179 each
Yes, it costs more than a $35 Shutterfly book. But you get a professionally designed book and 10+ hours of your life back. Most people find that's a trade worth making.
A DIY book from Shutterfly or Mixbook typically costs $30-80 for the printed book, but you spend 8-15 hours of your own time designing it. Remeet's digital book is $69 and printed book is $199 — but your total time investment is about 5 minutes. When you value your time, Remeet is often the better deal.
About 5 minutes to share your photos, plus 10-15 minutes to review your proof and request any changes. That's it. No choosing layouts, no dragging photos, no adjusting margins.
Absolutely. You review a complete proof and can request unlimited changes — rearrange pages, swap photos, edit captions, change the cover. You have final say over everything. You just don't have to build it from scratch.
You're not alone — most DIY photo book projects go unfinished. Share your photos with Remeet and we'll start fresh. No need to export or convert anything from your old project.
Templates put the same 3 photos per page in the same grid on every spread. Our designers create unique, editorial layouts with thoughtful pacing, white space, full-bleed spreads, and captions that tell a story. Every book is custom.
Not at all. If you can share a Google Photos album or upload files, you can use Remeet. There's no editor to learn, no software to install, no design decisions to make. Just share your photos and we handle everything.
Share your photos. We'll design a book you'll actually finish — in 72 hours.
