Among the many questions that we get about photo books, photo book suppliers, and how-to’s, we’ve stumbled across this quite popular question: How long do Google photo books take? We feel like this is an ambiguous question and will treat it as such here as well. That means that we will answer two questions in this article: “How long do Google photo books take to make” and “how long do Google photo books take to deliver”. Let’s dive right in and see what we will find.

  1. How long do Google photo books take to make?

Google is all about making our lives easier every step of the online way. It’s hard to imagine a world without Google. We take our information from its search; it helps us find our way through foreign places; it lets us store information and find the best recipes and much more. Google is our key to so much. Among other things, Google also offers a photo book service. While the choices are quite limited, ease of use stands in the centre of Google’s attention.

Editing pages with text on Google photo books Without much hassle you can simple click on “Make a photo book” and select your photos. At this point, you can simply select your pictures from your Google Photos account. This is a free online storage system that you can use. You can also import your photos from your computer or Google Drive. This you’ll have to do before you get started on your photo book. Assuming you already have your photos in place ready to be uploaded, the process should take no longer than a couple of minutes.

Creating collages on Google photo books

Placing photos and adding descriptions or changing layouts typically takes about half an hour to an hour with Google photo books. There simply isn’t a lot of creative freedom. This is not necessarily negative because it makes things simple and doesn’t allow much room for errors. You can create collages on pages with up to four photos and of course you can add descriptions on every page as well as the spine and cover. You will also be warned if some of your photos are likely not to print well due to low resolution. Be sure to pay attention to these warnings and replace the photos as you could otherwise end up with pixelated photos which could ruin your photo book.

Of course, this depends on the service you choose. While regular shipping (£4.99 for the 18x18cm book and £5.99 for the 23x23cm book) takes between 7 to 10 working days, priority shipping (which costs £12.99 for either book size) will get the photo book to your door within 4 to 7 working days. In this day and age of convenience, you can of course track your order with Google. To do this, you just have to sign into your Google account and navigate to your orders. Under “past orders” you will find your photo book order. When you select it, you can find the tracking information under “order info”. The estimated delivery will be listed there and you can find a link to the tracking page where you can look at the details.
