Compare photo book services

Almost everywhere, you make the book yourself.

At the others you first choose a size, from six to sixteen, and then open an editor or app. The difference is how far they get you started. Some begin at a blank page, most put your photos in the book for you, one makes an automatic proposal. Finishing it is yours everywhere.

foto foto starts at the other end. We design the book. That is why we keep the range small: we curate the options, the size, the paper and the cover, and you choose from them. We also help you choose your photos: we group near-duplicates and make a first selection. And we design the order, the layout and the cover from your photos.

Every dot sits on what the service itself publishes: how much you do yourself, and what the same book with 100 pages costs.

What it costs

A 24-page hardcover photo book costs €30. Each extra page costs €0.50, up to 300 pages. Shipping starts at €7 for the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and the US.

From-prices say little, because they apply to the thinnest book you can order. Most photo books are thicker: at foto foto half of the books have 74 pages or more, and one in three has 100 or more. So this is what the same book costs at 100 pages: a portrait hardcover near A4, the size every service sells, in its least expensive standard version.

Why foto foto

At foto foto the book is finished when you open it. You add your photos, we make the selection, the order, the layout and the cover, and you change what you want changed.

We keep the range small on purpose. We curate the options, the size, the paper and the cover, and you choose from them. Whatever gets added, we curate just as carefully. We print in Germany, and about ten days after you order the book lands on your doormat.

Notes

1. We checked CEWE on 28 August 2026, Profotonet on 15 September 2026 and the others on 3 September 2026.
2. CEWE and Pixum sell extra pages in blocks of 4. The table therefore shows the price for 102 pages.
3. HEMA and Saal Digital are not included: HEMA shows the price per size only once you start making a book., Saal Digital does not publish the price per extra page..
4. Half of the books have 74 pages or more: 74 is the median of 89 paid foto foto orders up to 14 September 2026, and 28 of them had 100 pages or more.
