If you wish to design your layout in your own design software you can upload the completed layout as a 300 DPI .jpg file saved in SRGB color space. Our photo uploader will take up to a 25MG image. You will then choose the "blank template" under your book style and size selection and then insert a full page or full spread layout from the layouts tab in the software. Repeat for each page layout.  Please keep the following sizes in mind as you design your templates:
6x6 - 6 x12" layout
8x8- 8 x 16" layout
10x10 - 10 x 20" layout
12x12- 12 x 24" layout
8.5x11 - 8.5 x 22 layout
11x8.5 - 11 x 17" layout
