Why does FreePrints Photobooks require my location information on my iPhone and iPad?

Every time you snap a picture with your iPhone or iPad, location information is saved so that other apps can show where the photo was taken.

Can I place more than one photo on a page?

You can create a layout with multiple images with ease. Select a page then tap the layout icon. Select up to 6 photos and choose from the various layouts offered.

Do you offer full bleed pages?

Yes, you have the option of standard or full bleed pages in your photobook. Switching between styles can be achieved by double-tapping on the image in the Design Book section. Alternatively, you may select the image and tap the full bleed icon in the Edit Page section.

A small triangle with an exclamation mark appeared on a page. What does it mean?

Your photo is too small and will appear fuzzy or blurry when printed at the selected size. We suggest you choose a layout that allows you to make this photo smaller or replace it with a higher-resolution photo.
