Pet photo book designs

Every ourTailTales book comes in one of 15 designs. The story and the photos stay the same. The design sets the paper, the flowers, the frames and the little details on every page.

Make their book. It’s free

Free to make and read. Hardcover from $69.99 $52.49, 25% off until November 30.

A printed hardcover pet book standing on a bedside table, with a small dog named Gracie on the cover.

Some designs follow the places in your photos: shells at the beach, ferns on the trail, snow in winter. Some follow the pet: sleepy moons for the napper, cupcakes for the zoomy one. Two are simply quiet and let the photos speak.

When you make a book, it suggests a design from your pet and the places in it. You see that suggestion first and can switch with one tap, as often as you like, before you order. Every design costs the same.

Below is one chapter from a sample book, a dog's summer at the beach, shown in all 15 designs. For each one you will see the chapter's opening page and the photo page that follows it.

Good questions

Questions, answered

Which design will my book get?

The book suggests one from your pet and the places in your photos: Seaside Summer for the beach, Cozy Woodland for the trail, Café in the City for town. You see the suggestion first and can switch with one tap.

Can I change the design after I see the preview?

Yes. You can change it any time before you order. The words and the photos stay as they are.

Do all designs cost the same?

Yes. The price depends only on how many chapters the book has, never on the design.

Is there a design for remembering a pet?

Yes. Forget-Me-Not was made for remembering: a soft sky, little stars and forget-me-nots. It is gentle enough for a pet who is still here, too.

How much does the hardcover cost?

$69.99 covers the hardcover and its first 5 chapters, with the digital PDF included. During our launch sale, every hardcover is 25% off until November 30, so it starts at $52.49. Longer stories can add chapters. Making the book and reading the preview are free. Shipping is added at checkout, and we ship within the United States.

Their story is still in your camera roll.

Let’s get it out and onto paper, where it belongs.
