Ordering and design
What is FamilyPrint?
FamilyPrint is a Danish iPhone app for making photo books and photo calendars from your own photos. We print them and send them to a parcel shop near you, anywhere in Denmark. The app is free, and you only pay for what you order. About FamilyPrint
How do I make a photo book?
Get FamilyPrint on your iPhone and pick a book. Choose your photos and the app lays them out on the pages for you. Then you can move them around, change layouts, add text and give the pages a colour. When you're happy with it, you order in the app.
How many photos do I need?
That's up to you. A book has 28 to 120 pages, with one to five photos on a page. As a rule of thumb, 40 to 120 photos fill a book nicely. You can add and remove pages as you go.
Can I add text to the book?
Yes. You can give the cover a title and choose pages with room for text, such as a heading or a few lines about the day. You type straight onto the page and see right away how it looks.
Is my design saved?
Yes, the app saves as you work. Your designs are on the app's front page, so you can carry on whenever you like. They're stored on your iPhone, so they disappear if you delete the app.
Can I make my photo book on a computer?
No, FamilyPrint is an iPhone app. You make the book or calendar in the app, from the photos on your phone and in iCloud.
Can I carry on with my design on another phone or an iPad?
Not yet. The app is for iPhone, and a design stays on the phone you made it on.
Do you check my book before it is printed?
No, we print the book exactly as you made it. Leaf through it in the app before you order and look for typos and empty spaces.
Can I order several copies of the same book?
Yes. Choose the number in the basket before you pay. Then the grandparents can have one too.
Can I send the book straight to someone else?
Yes. Enter the recipient's name and address when you order, and the book goes to a parcel shop near them.
Photos and quality
Will my photos be sharp enough?
When you edit a photo, the app shows how sharp it will print. Photos from a recent iPhone are sharp enough for a full page. If a photo is too small for its space, make it smaller or choose a layout with more photos.
Can I use photos stored in iCloud?
Yes. The app fetches the full-size photo from iCloud when it needs it. Your phone just needs to be online.
Why can't the app see all my photos?
You've probably given access to selected photos only. Open Settings on your iPhone and go to Apps › FamilyPrint › Photos. Choose Full Access.
Why do the colours look a little different from the screen?
A screen gives off light and paper doesn't, so printed photos often look a little darker and softer. Very dark photos get darker on paper, so pick the brighter ones.
Can I zoom in on a photo or move it on the page?
Yes. Tap the photo and choose Rediger foto. There you can zoom and move it until it sits the way you want.
Why is a little of the edge cut off?
When a photo runs to the edge of the page, the printer trims a few millimetres so there are no white lines. Keep faces and text a little away from the edge.
Books and calendars
Which books can I choose from?
Square and landscape books in several sizes, with a hard or soft cover. A hard cover is stiff and stands up to lots of reading. A soft cover is lighter and costs less. See the books, sizes and prices
How many pages can a book have?
28 to 120 pages, depending on the book. The price covers the smallest number of pages, and extra pages cost from DKK 5 per 2 pages.
What paper do you print on?
Books are printed on 170 g silk paper with deep colours. Calendars are printed on heavier 250 g silk paper.
How does a photo calendar work?
It has a cover and 12 months, starting in any month you like. Public holidays and week numbers are included, and you can add birthdays and other dates yourself. It has a wire binding and a hook, ready to hang. See the calendars
Does the calendar have to start in January?
No, you choose the month it starts in. It can run from August to July, say, or start in the month you give it away.
Are public holidays and week numbers included?
Yes. Every month shows the week numbers and the Danish public holidays, so you don't have to add them yourself.
What is a family calendar?
A tall, slim calendar with a line for every day, so the family can write in plans and birthdays. Each month has a photo at the top.
Price and payment
What does a photo book cost?
From DKK 229 + DKK 59 delivery. The price depends on the size, cover and number of pages. See all prices

Changes and complaints
Can I change or cancel my order?
Yes, within the first hour after you order. Open the order in the app. Annullér gives you your money back. Rediger cancels the order and opens the book again, so you can change it and order again. Once the book has gone to print, it can't be changed.
Can I change the delivery address?
Within the first hour, tap Rediger on the order and order again with the new address. After that we can't change it, but write to us as soon as you can and we'll see what we can do.

Can I cancel my purchase?
Your book is made from your own photos and text, so Danish consumer law gives no right of withdrawal. Our promise still holds: if you're not happy with the book, we print it again or give you your money back. Read about returns and complaints
