It’s never been easier to write and create a children’s book online in the format you need. BookBildr offers softcover and hardcover books in three shapes and six sizes, perfect for all kinds of stories. Choose a format, start writing and then use our free online children’s book illustrator to bring your story to life! We will then take care of generating your book in PDF, printing and shipping.
Portrait Book
Portrait books are perfect for stories for older children because they can accommodate more text and still have exciting illustrations. Our portrait books come in two “flavors”, hardcover and paperback, and A5 and A4 sizes.
Landscape Book
Landscape books are great for full-page illustrations. You can still have quite a lot of text but this format makes the pictures stand out. The landscape books can be printed as hardcovers, layflats or paperbacks, in A5 and A4 sizes.
Square Hardcover Book
Square picture books are ideal for toddlers and children between 3 and 5 years old. They are a great transition from board books. Our square books come as standard and layflat hardcovers in two sizes.
All BookBildr books feature glossy or matte cover and a perfectly bound customizable spine. Interior pages are printed on high-quality glossy or Mohawk paper
