Pages are half the sheet, so an A5 book comes off any A4 printer, an A4-page book needs an A3-capable printer, and A3 pages would need A2 — no home printer offers that, so it is a copy-shop job.
Why make a photo booklet at home
Foldpic's baby album is a 16-page stapled booklet you can fill in an evening: a cover with the name and date, a first-day page, a page per month, and a grid for the blurry ones you love anyway.
Templates include soft, rounded layouts with room for weight, length and firsts, and a simple caption under every photo. Drop the photos in, type the details, and download a PDF that prints on any home printer.
Make one for the grandparents on the same day. Because you keep the file, a second copy costs four sheets of paper.
Milestone pages built in
Layouts with a big photo and a stats block for weight, length and date, so the numbers you will forget are printed next to the face you will not.
Done in one sitting
Sixteen pages, autofill from your photo tray, and a shuffle button when a page does not look right. Most people finish in under twenty minutes.
Small enough to keep in a bag
A5 pages fit in a changing bag or a coat pocket. Show it around without handing over your phone.
Reprint when the next one arrives
The template stays yours. Open it again, swap the photos, and print a matching book for a sibling.

Before you print
- How to make a baby memory book at home
Print a baby's first-year memory book on your own printer: month-by-month spreads, milestone stats, paper that survives small hands, adding pages later.
- How to print a booklet at home (duplex, flip edge and collate explained)
Print a saddle-stitched booklet on a home printer: exact settings, which duplex flip edge, how to stack and fold, and how to check the first sheet.
- What resolution do photos need for a printed album? (the dpi maths)
Pixels needed for an A5 page or a zine panel at 200 and 300 dpi, why phone photos are fine and screenshots are not, and what a low-res warning means.
- How to staple a booklet without a long-arm stapler
Bind a saddle-stitched booklet at home with an ordinary stapler, a needle and thread, or no binding at all. Spine measurements for A5 and half-Letter.
Photo booklet questions
Can I add text like weight and birth date?
Yes. Baby templates have text slots for a title, date, and short stats or captions. Type directly into the slot in the editor.
How many photos fit?
A 16-page booklet holds about 25 to 40 photos depending on the layouts. Grid pages take four to six photos, hero pages take one.
Which paper should I print on?
100 to 160 gsm matte paper on an inkjet or laser printer. Keep glossy photo paper for the accordion format, which prints on one side only.
Can I make one album per month?
Yes. During the beta you can make as many projects as you like on your device and download each one. One project per account is also saved online; a Creator plan for more is planned.
Is it safe to upload baby photos?
Photos you add are copied into this browser’s storage on your device. Editing and previews happen right here, and nothing is lost if the tab closes. Your PDFs are made in your browser. Your photos are not uploaded to create them. You can delete the project, and its photos, at any time.
