Create a Beautiful Cover

Choose High-Quality Images

When choosing a photo to use for your cover, pay close attention to the quality of the image. Choose your favorite bright, clear image, and avoid dark and blurry pictures. Consider where your book will be displayed — a beautiful cover will look gorgeous on grandma’s coffee table or propped on the bookshelf in your room. 

‍

Keep Your Title Short and Sweet

For best printing results, keep your title short and sweet! You can create both a title and subtitle, such as Baby’s First Year: January 2020-January 2021 or Life As Henry: Summer Moments. The character limit for titles is 20 and for subtitles, 35. Have fun with it and get creative with your photo book title. 

If your Qeepsake Book has over 120 pages, the title will appear on the spine. There’s nothing like Qeepsake Book spines with short and sweet titles lined up on the mantle.

Pro Tip: If you love emojis, sprinkle them in, they’re so cute on the cover! Keep in mind that some emojis take up a few characters.

Editing Your Book 

It’s easy to make edits to your book in the Qeepsake App or on our website. If you’d like to view your images and entries in a large format, editing from a computer is a good choice. If you’re a phone-only kind of parent, the mobile app is perfect! Both options allow you to make changes or expand on your text entries. 

Mobile only editing features:

• Need to adjust the lighting or saturation of a photo? Plus & Premium members can do so with the iOS app. 
• Want to edit or remove question prompts? You can do just that on mobile. 
• Not loving the order of the entries? No problem! You can reorder same-day entries in the mobile app. Cherish your memories exactly how you remember them, no detail out of order or forgotten.

Pro tip: If you want to know if you are looking at a page on the left or right side of your book, check to see where the white space is. If there is more white space on the right-hand side, that means you are looking at a page on the left of your book.

Avoid These Common Mistakes

In our 5+ years of ordering Qeepsake Books for our kiddos and supporting Qeepsake Members, our team has learned some tips and tricks for avoiding the most common mistakes!

Gabby, our Head of Customer Support says:

“When ordering your Qeepsake Book, please make sure to double-check for any errors or duplicates. Because Qeepsake values your privacy, we will not be looking at your content to fix spelling, grammatical errors, or duplicated photos or entries. Your memories are sacred, and yours alone!”

Jami, our Senior Member Experience Manager, recommends:

“If you are making journals for multiple children, make sure all entries are assigned to the right journal. You’ll also want to make sure to rotate any photos that uploaded sideways or upside down. Make sure to keep in mind that photos will appear slightly darker when printed then when on your backlit screen. Choose bright and clear photos whenever possible, and brighten and sharpen any dark photos you really want to include in your book!”

Jen G, our resident Qeepsake Mom offers:

“Have fun and don’t stress! It’s so special to look through your family’s memories and all of the wonderful (and hilarious) things you said about your kiddos each day. If you need any advice or support at all, Qeepsake’s support team is THE BEST. Anytime they get to help a member order a book, they are truly grateful!

Order Books for Each Of Your Kiddos

One day when our kids have grown up, we envision a future where we can look back at all of the precious moments and milestones we had with each of them. 

Qeepsake wants to make this vision a reality for you. We imagine your future self will thank you for preserving each and every moment of your kids — from baby books all the way to high school graduation books.  Order each of your kiddo’s Qeepsake Books separately, and then reach out to us for a shipping discount!

Order A Book for Momentous Occasions

Everyday moments are precious, but there are some occasions that really tell the story of your family. From quinceañeras to family reunions, you can create your own Qeepsake Book for any occasion. 

Have a child that just graduated high school? Consider creating a high school graduation photo book. You can even create a Mother’s Day photo book or Father’s Day photo book. The options are endless. 

Be sure to include entries with your photos to add meaning to your moments. It’s a joy to reflect back on these special occasions. A book for each major life event can pull you right back into those cherished memories.
