How to Decide
1. How many photos do you have?
Match the photo count to a variant's range. Going under the minimum forces empty pages; going over the maximum means cutting photos.
- 20–40 photos → softcover or 15×20 hardcover
- 50–100 photos → 20×20 hardcover (48 or 96-page) or 20×26 hardcover
- 100+ photos → 20×26 hardcover or 20×20 hardcover 96-page
2. How will the book be used?
- Coffee-table display → larger formats (20×26) look intentional and substantial.
- Gift to send → softcover is lighter and cheaper to ship.
- Shelf storage / archive → hardcover lasts much longer.
3. What's your budget?
The cheapest option (softcover 24-page) starts at ₾89 in Design Mode. The flagship (20×26 cm hardcover, 96 pages) is ₾349 in Design Mode / ₾399 in Service Mode.

Page Count Tips
- A clean book with breathing room uses 1–2 photos per spread.
- A dense, story-rich book uses 3–5 photos per spread.
- Don't pick more pages than you have photos for — you'll fight to fill it.
Can I Change Size Later?
Sizes are tied to a specific project. If you want to switch, start a new project at the new size — your photos can be reused from your gallery.
