Photos can appear brighter on device screens than in print. We recommend that you choose well-lit, high-resolution photos for your designs. And if you have issues with low-resolution photos, try troubleshooting blurry photos.

Avoid dark photos

To ensure your printed photos look their best:

• Choose photos taken in well-lit environments
• Select gloss finish instead of matte. See the difference between matte and gloss finishes
• Edit the brightness of your photos on your device before uploading them to the app
• Choose a light-coloured theme in your design. You can also change the colour of your front cover without changing the other pages

Note Black-and-white photos are more prone to overly dark printing than colour photos.

Dark photos caused by manufacturing issues

If you believe your printed design contains dark photos because of a manufacturing error, please contact our customer service team to request a reprint.
