Frequently asked questions

Clear answers about your sample, complete proof, printed book and delivery.

How much does a physical book cost?

A5 physical books start from £14.99. A4 physical books start from £19.99, and the creator shows the live total before checkout.

How many photos can I add?

Add 1–25 photos. A5 and A4 book prices stay the same whichever photo count you choose.

Can I preview before I pay?

Yes. Upload your first photo and we’ll start transforming it into one simple sample colouring page before checkout. You can also review the cover, photos, format and price. After payment, we create the complete private proof in your selected detail level for you to approve before anything is printed.

What happens to my photos?

Photos are kept in private, non-public storage. This browser keeps only a secret Media Library access key in necessary device storage so uploads can be reused for 30 days after the latest activity. Unpaid projects become eligible for automatic deletion after 30 days; paid physical working media becomes eligible 90 days after dispatch and digital working media 90 days after release. Active support, disputes or legal obligations may extend this. Read our photo retention policy.

How does the 3 for 2 offer work?

Buy any three printed A5 or A4 books in one basket and the cheapest qualifying book is free. Mix copies of one design or create different books. PDFs, delivery and coupon codes are excluded.

How long do I have to review the complete proof?

Your private proof is released after payment and successful generation. You have 72 hours to review it. We send reminders at 24 and 66 hours; if no revision or proof guarantee request is open, the proof is automatically approved at the deadline so printing can begin.

Can I ask for changes?

Yes. One book-wide revision round is included before approval and print. Select every page that needs attention and submit the requests together.

How long does delivery take?

Standard and Express options are shown at checkout. Delivery estimates begin after you approve your complete proof.

What is inside the book?

Every uploaded photo faces its matching colouring page. Every printed book includes at least five blank pages for their own drawings, with a personalised bookplate and drawing note in Lulu books.

Can I upload photos of pets?

Yes. Pets, children, family, favourite toys and holiday photos all work well.

Check & order

Confirm the cover, photos, format and proof policy before secure checkout.

Why can’t I preview the whole book yet?

Preview one transformed photo now. After payment is confirmed, we create the complete private proof for your approval before printing.

The full book is created after payment so we can process each page carefully and check it together as one complete proof, rather than rushing every image through an instant preview. We take care to make every page look its best. You’ll have 72 hours to review the finished proof, with one book-wide revision round included; if a page needs attention, we’ll regenerate the affected pages before anything is finalised. Most books go through smoothly, but that revision round gives you a safety net.

How approval works

  1. Complete secure paymentYour full colouring pages stay locked until payment is confirmed.
  2. Receive your private proofWe email a private link when every page is ready to review.
  3. Review before printingRequest your one included book-wide revision or approve. Complete valid proofs auto-approve after 72 hours.

How many copies?

Every copy uses this same personalised cover and inside pages.
