A year of birthdays, ordinary Tuesdays, and the way the kids looked this spring — gathered into one book you'll actually hold.
40 pages included. Free standard US shipping. Extra pages and tax priced separately.
You have thousands of photos. The first steps, the messy dinners, the trip everyone still talks about. They live on a phone, behind a lock screen, in a folder you mean to sort “someday.” Meanwhile the kids get taller and the year quietly closes. CurateBook is for the book you always meant to make — the one that turns this year of your family into something your hands can find again.
Upload the photos you want to include. Our AI curator reads through the whole year, finds the photos worth keeping, quietly drops the duplicates and the blurry near-misses, and arranges everything by date — so your story reads in order, the way it happened.
Photos fall into natural chapters — the snow days, the summer at the lake, the first day of school. Faces and moments lead the page instead of getting lost in a grid of three hundred near-identical shots.
You see every spread before anything is made. Swap a photo, move a page, add a chapter from the trip we didn't know about. The book is yours — we just do the heavy lifting of finding the good stuff.
A first-year book could begin with the first week, follow everyday moments through the seasons, and finish at the birthday celebration. Choose the photographs that mean something to your family and review the story before printing.
Illustrative story and stock photography, not a customer testimonial or printed-book sample.

For the family keepsake, we recommend the Medium Hardcover (8.3×11.7", $59.99) — big enough to do the photos justice, sturdy enough to survive the coffee table. For a first-year book or an heirloom you want to last, choose the Layflat ($109.99): the pages open completely flat, so a panorama or a full-spread portrait runs uninterrupted across the center.

You have the final say on every page. Before anything prints, you can add photos the AI set aside, swap any image, and rearrange spreads. It does the sorting so you don't have to start from a blank page — but the book only goes to print when you approve it.
Every book starts with 40 pages and free US shipping, with no hidden fees. If your year needs more room, add pages in two-page spreads. Extra pages cost $0.50 each for softcover and hardcover, or $1 each for layflat; tax is calculated at checkout. Check the upload guidance in the studio before adding files.
