Pros
- The Critics' Pick: Tom's Guide names Mixbook the best photo book service overall, and Trustpilot shows 4.4 across more than 43,000 reviews with just 2% one-star.
- Built Your Way: Eight sizes from 6×6 to 14×11 inches, softcover, hardcover, layflat and album bindings, and five paper tiers up to Premium Lustre, with books running to 399 pages.
- Customer Happiness Guarantee: If you don't love your order, Mixbook works to make it right and refunds the order if it can't.
Cons
- Two-page spreads show a slim spine line on standard bindings, so keep faces and key details away from the centre fold — or choose layflat for seamless panoramas.
- Holiday demand stretches delivery, even on faster services, so order seasonal gifts early and leave a few days' margin before the date you need.
The Verdict
What sets Mixbook apart is a flexible editor and premium print options that have made it a critics' favourite: Mixbook, the trading name of Interactive Memories, Inc. of Redwood City, California, has been making custom photo books since 2006, and Tom's Guide currently names it the best photo book service overall. Books come in eight sizes from 6×6 to 14×11 inches, with softcover, hardcover, layflat and album bindings and paper from Everyday Semi-Gloss to Signature Matte, Signature Lustre and Premium Lustre; softcovers and hardcovers run to 399 pages. The same editor handles flat and folded cards with foil options and envelopes, and calendars in 165 themes, with a mobile app alongside the web editor so you can design from either. Trustpilot shows 4.4 across more than 43,000 reviews, with just 2% one-star. List prices are published per size, starting with a 20-page base. An 8.5×8.5 softcover is $19.99, a 10×10 hardcover in Everyday Semi-Gloss $54.99 or $69.99 in Premium Lustre, a 12×12 hardcover $79.99 and a 10×10 layflat from $114.99, with extra pages from $0.99. Cards start at $1.36 each and calendars at $34.99, and sitewide promotions are frequent — this week's took up to 45% off larger orders. Books print in one to two business days, and US shipping on an 8.5×8.5 softcover runs from $8.99 Economy to $29.99 Rush; Canadian orders print locally with no surprise duties. The pricing page lists every size, cover and paper combination, so you can cost a book to the page before you start designing. The reservations are modest. Tom's Guide found pinks slightly oversaturated and a visible spine in two-page spreads on its hardcover sample, and customers report that faster shipping tiers can still slip in the holiday rush. The Customer Happiness Guarantee promises a fix or a refund if you don't love your order, and BBB rates Mixbook A+ and accredited, with 16 complaints in three years. Made for anyone turning a camera roll into a keepsake: eight sizes, layflat bindings and Premium Lustre paper give each photo room. Design early, use layflat for panoramas, order seasonal gifts ahead of the rush, and shop now.

About this review
How this was written, who paid for what, and how the verdict stays independent.
Is this Mixbook review sponsored?
No. Mixbook did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the Mixbook assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
What else have you reviewed in Media & Entertainment?
Everything in Media & Entertainment sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.
Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
