Post a photo book

Before you post a photo book of your own, review our guidelines found on the Shutterfly Gallery home page. You’ll have a better idea of what to expect and what changes to make prior to posting.

Sign in and from the Gallery home page click the “Post photo book” button.

You’ll see all the photo book projects you’ve created. (If you don’t have any photo books created, you can start one on our Store page.) Choose which book you’d like to post and click “Post photo book to Gallery” on the right column.

On the next page, enter information about the book that will give it a unique identity and help others find it on Gallery. Give your book a title, enter a category and write a description.

You’ll also need to enter “tags”—relevant keywords or terms associated with a photo book that can be used to describe the book to others. For instance, a photo book about travel to the historic monuments in Italy can be tagged with the terms “Italy,” “travel” and “monuments.” There are spaces for four tags, but you can add more tags by clicking the “Add more tags” link. You may include letters, numbers and underscores in your tag descriptions. The most popular and frequently used tags appear in the “tag cloud” at the bottom of the Shutterfly Gallery home page.

Finally, agree to the terms and conditions and click the “Submit” button.

Edit or remove

On the “My Gallery Projects” tab, you’ll see a list of all the books that you’ve posted to Shutterfly Gallery. Underneath each book entry are two links: “Edit post” and “Remove from Gallery.” Selecting “Edit post” allows you to modify your book’s title, categories, tags and description.

Selecting “Remove from Gallery” permanently deletes that project from the Shutterfly Gallery. You’ll first be asked to confirm that you want to remove this project. It may take up to one hour to remove all instances of your photo book from the Gallery pages. To add this project back into the Gallery you’ll need to re-post it.
