What photo books come with the option to add text or captions?
You can add text pages to all of our photo books except the Everyday Photo Book, which is limited to one image per page and doesn’t currently support text or captions
How to Add, Remove, or Rearrange a text box?
In the editor, on the left-hand side toolbar, you'll see an 'Add Text Box'. That will add a text box to the current page. You can then type directly into the box, adjust the font type, size, color, and alignment, or apply styles such as bold or italic. To edit the font in the text box, be sure the text you want to edit is highlighted, and click on the text bar above the text box to see the drop-down menus with the options available.
Are there any character or text limits?
There isn’t a set character limit; it depends on the size of your text and text box. You will see an error message when all of your text box is not visible.
How to print add text to an entire page?
You can also create full-text pages by selecting a blank layout and adding a text box that fills the page.
How do I know how the text is going to print?
We recommend reviewing the PDF proof before ordering to ensure everything appears as expected. Click the three-line icon or 'Review' at the top, select 'Email Print Proof', enter your email, and click 'Send'. You’ll receive a link to view or download the proof, and larger projects may arrive in multiple files.
