# How to print your Starlit Kid book

Starlit Kid doesn't print or ship: you print the files you download. Ways to print:

- **Photo-book apps:** Add the page pictures one per page to make a hardcover or softcover. Most apps need at least 20 pages, so add a few family photos or blank pages at the end.
- **Print shop:** Take the home & screen PDF to any print shop and ask for heavy paper. Trim the pages to square and staple or bind them.
- **Your own printer:** Print the home & screen PDF at actual size on thick matte paper, trim to square, and staple or ring-bind it. Kids love helping.

## Step-by-step guides

- [How to Print Your Book as a Mixbook Hardcover](https://starlitkid.com/guides/print/mixbook): Mixbook makes 8.5 × 8.5 in square photo books, the exact size of your Starlit Kid book. Upload the page pictures, put one on each page, and order a hardcover.
- [How to Print Your Book with Shutterfly or Costco](https://starlitkid.com/guides/print/shutterfly): Shutterfly prints 8 × 8 in square photo books. It doesn’t accept PDFs, so you upload the page pictures and set each one to fill a page. Costco Photo’s online books are made by Shutterfly and work the same way.
- [How to Print Your Book at Walgreens Photo](https://starlitkid.com/guides/print/walgreens): Walgreens Photo makes 8 × 8 in softcover and hardcover photo books from uploaded pictures. Square books aren’t same-day, so plan a few days ahead.
- [How to Print Your Book at a Copy Shop](https://starlitkid.com/guides/print/copy-shop): Copy shops print on letter-size paper, often the same day. Bring the home & screen PDF, ask for color on heavy paper, and have the pages trimmed to 8.5 × 8.5 in.
- [How to Print Your Book at Home](https://starlitkid.com/guides/print/at-home): Print the home & screen PDF on your own printer on US Letter paper, trim each page to 8.5 × 8.5 in, and staple or bind it. Ready in an evening.
