Frequently asked
Do I have to pick the photos myself?
No. Tidbit takes the first pass for you. Tell us what the book is about, and we'll find the best photos, group related moments, and build the first draft. From there, you can review everything and add, remove, or swap any photo.
How is Tidbit different from Shutterfly, Mixbook, or Artifact Uprising?
It's easier, faster, and it costs less. On those sites, you start by choosing and uploading your photos. With Tidbit, you start with a finished first draft: your best shots, already picked and laid out right on your iPhone, in a style designed like a magazine. Change anything you like, then order. And at list prices, a Tidbit book costs less than all three, size for size. A 50-page book costs less than half what a similar size costs at Shutterfly or Mixbook.
Compare pricesHow is Tidbit different from Popsa?
Popsa is a phone app too, but there you pick the photos first and the app lays them out. With Tidbit, you don't have to pick them. Tell it the trip, the people, or the dates, and you start with a finished first draft: your best shots already picked, and the pages laid out in a style designed like a magazine. And at list prices, a Tidbit book costs less than a similar size from Popsa.
Compare pricesDo my photos stay private?
Yes. Tidbit finds and sorts your photos right on your iPhone, so your library never leaves your phone. Only the photos in a book you order are uploaded, so it can be printed. We never sell your photos or use them to train AI.
Privacy policyHow does Tidbit design my book?
Once your photos are picked, Tidbit lays out the spreads and sequences the story, so you start from a finished-looking book instead of a blank page. Pick from editorial styles designed like small magazines, and switch styles anytime without losing your work.
Can I change what Tidbit makes?
Completely. Swap any photo, rewrite any caption, change the style, reorder spreads, or just tell Tidbit what you want in plain words, like 'more photos of Emma' or 'make it shorter'. Every word and photo is yours to edit.
What kinds of books can I make?
Pick what the book is about when you start: a trip, a year in review, a birthday, an anniversary, a baby's first year, a wedding, or a pet. You can also make one from an album, or a custom book from the people, places, and dates you choose. Whichever you pick, you start from a finished first draft, photos picked and pages designed.
What sizes and prices are available?
Hardcover books start at $30, in four sizes: Small (6 × 8.5 in), Medium (8 × 8 in), Large (9 × 11 in) and Extra Large (12 × 12 in). Medium and Extra Large also come with layflat pages, from $65. You'll see the exact price for your size and page count before you order. No surprises at checkout.
Price comparisonCan I order more than one book at once?
Yes. Add more books, or extra copies of one, to the same checkout, like a copy for the grandparents. Everything ships together to one address, and shipping is charged once, plus a small amount for each extra copy.
What paper do you use?
Your photos print on thick, premium 200 gsm gloss pages. Gloss keeps color richer and detail sharper than matte stock can. The hardcover stays matte, so the book feels soft in the hand while the photos get to shine.
How long does shipping take?
Most books are printed and on their way within a few business days, with tracked delivery to your door. You’ll get a tracking link the moment your book ships.
Where do you ship?
Tidbit ships to the United States, Canada, the UK and Australia. Shipping options and estimated delivery dates are shown at checkout.
What if there’s a problem with my book?
If your book arrives less than perfect, report it within 14 days of delivery and we’ll reprint it or refund you under our happiness guarantee. No fuss, no fine print.
Happiness guaranteeDo I need an iPhone?
Tidbit is an iOS app, so you’ll need an iPhone or iPad to design and order your book. There’s no Android or web version yet. It’s a free download on the App Store. You only pay when you order a printed book.
