Ah, pets. Our furbabies. Our tiny chaos machines. The lil floofs, meowmeows, and puppers who basically run the house — and our hearts. They’re with us through everything: lazy Sundays, wild 3AM zoomies, and those classic “why is there fur in my coffee?” mornings. So it only makes sense to celebrate their adorable, unfiltered lives with a photobook that’s all about them.
Whether you’re creating a fun little photo dump or a full-on tribute to your furry bestie, we’ve got you covered — step by paw-some step. 🐾
Step 1: Pick the Type of Pet Photobook You Want 📸🐶🐱
Start by deciding the vibe of your photobook. Are you going for quick and cute, or detailed and sentimental?
Option 1: Go Simple & Sweet 🧸
If you’re after something quick, cute, and easy to create on the go, we recommend the Simple Book.
Exclusive to the Photobook App, this option lets you choose your ideal book size, cover type, and binding style — all wrapped in a clean, one-photo-per-page layout.
It keeps things fuss-free and adorable. No need for a storyline — just drop in your pet’s best angles and call it a day. It’s the perfect polished photo dump, especially for those spontaneous, goofy shots you can’t stop smiling at.
P/S: Neat little bonus — download our app and get free photo prints every month! Perfect for showing off your pet’s cutest moments around your home, desk, or wherever they reign supreme.
Option 2: Go Big With a Tribute 🐾
If you’re looking for something more detailed — maybe even a little biographic — go for one of our standard photobooks.
Available on the Photobook website, you can customise everything: size, cover type, binding style, and even pick a ready-made template to kick things off (perfect if you’re not in the mood to start from scratch).
What sets this apart from the Simple Book? You can add multiple photos per page, include text, drop in graphics or stickers, and fully personalise the layout.
This option lets you tell your pet’s full story — their quirks, milestones, and ‘OMG!’ moments (like that time they stole your pizza 🍕). By the end of it, you’ll have a heartfelt keepsake that feels more like a mini-biography of your furry bestie.
Step 2: Choose and Organise Your Photos 📂✨
Now it’s time to dig through your camera roll, cloud storage, and partner’s phone — we know you’ve been hoarding pet pics. 🐾
Organise your photos into folders based on:
- Timeline: From baby floof to grown-up good boy/girl
- Themes: Birthdays, naps, adventures, “caught in the act” moments
- Personality: Zoomies, judgey stares, dramatic yawns
Sorting them ahead of time makes the design process way smoother (and keeps you from uploading 1537 random pics at once).
Step 3: Pick Your Photobook Type 📘
Next, choose how you want your photobook to feel in your hands:
- Softcover: Lightweight, casual, and easy to flip through
- Hardcover: Sturdy and elegant — perfect for display
- Layflat (our top pick!): Opens flat for a seamless spread — ideal for panoramic shots of your pet’s royal poses 👑
Layflat binding really lets your photos shine, especially if you want that premium, art-book style look.
Step 4: Choose Your Template (Or Start From Scratch) 🎨
Now for the fun part! You can:
- Choose a ready-made template that fits your pet’s aesthetic (minimalist, playful, scrapbook-style, etc.)
- Start from scratch and get creative — add doodles, stickers, speech bubbles, or even “interviews” with your pet 🐾 (“Favourite hobby: chewing everything”).
Let your pet’s personality guide your design choices. Are they sassy? Sweet? A little unhinged? Lean into it.
Step 5: Drag, Drop, and Arrange Your Photos ✨📅
Upload your photos and arrange them in a way that tells your story best:
- Chronologically: Watch your pet grow, glow up, and maybe slow down
- By Event: Group photos from birthdays, vet visits, couch naps, park days
- By Mood: Create sections like “Cuddly,” “Unleashed,” and “What even is this pose?”
Add little captions, dates, quotes — anything that sparks joy or laughter when you flip through the pages later.
Step 6: Preview and Place Your Order ✅📦
Once you’ve finished putting your book together (and before you check out), do one last sweep:
- Make sure photos aren’t blurry or awkwardly cropped
- Double-check spelling (unless “catpion” is intentional 🐱)
- Preview your book from cover to cover — make sure it flows, makes you smile, and feels right
When everything looks good, hit that order button. Then, sit back and wait for your furry friend’s biography to arrive at your doorstep. (Cue gushing ‘awwwws’ and slapping of your partners/siblings/family member’s shoulder from the cute aggression!)
Bonus Ideas 💡
✨ Add a dedication page — “For the best girl/boy, who always knew when I needed a cuddle.”
✨ Scan your pet’s paw print or include their adoption photo
✨ Print a second copy as a gift for family, your vet, or your pet sitter
In Conclusion: Your Pet Deserves a Photobook 🐕🐾🐈⬛
You don’t need a special reason to create a pet photobook. Do it because they’ve been your shadow, your emotional support animal, your fluffy therapist, and your chaos agent — all rolled into one.
Whether you build a simple one-photo-per-page album or a detailed tribute, you’ll create something that celebrates your pet’s life in the sweetest, most meaningful way possible.
