Why DIY photo book PDFs

Services like Apple Photos, Snapfish, Blurb and Mixbook are built around their own print pipelines. The trade-off: you’re locked into their pricing, their paper choices and their shipping windows. If you’ve ever wanted a small batch printed locally, or wanted to compare prices between print services, that’s where DIY PDF templates win.

Exposure handles the design — the part most people find intimidating — and produces a clean PDF that any print service accepts. You stay in control of where and how the book gets printed.

Use cases that work well

  • Year-in-review books of Instagram posts, organized by month or trip
  • Wedding albums with photographer-shot images and personal notes
  • Travel journals that combine photos, captions and small mementos
  • Gift books for grandparents from a child’s first year of photos
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Exposure print and ship the books?
No. Exposure creates a print-ready PDF that you can send to any printing service — Blurb, Mixbook, your local print shop or any service of your choice. This means you keep flexibility and shop for the best price or paper.
What sizes are supported?
Common photo book sizes including square (20×20 cm, 30×30 cm), portrait and landscape formats. The PDF can be exported at print-quality resolution suitable for hardcover and layflat books.
Can I use my Instagram posts in a photo book?
Yes. Photos and finished carousels in Exposure can be moved into a photo book layout. This is a common workflow for creators turning a year of Instagram into a printable yearbook.
Do I have to export the whole book, or can I export one page?
Either. Export the complete layout as a single PDF when you're sending it to a print service, or export just one page as a PNG when you only need that spread — for a reprint, a web preview or a quick share.
