Turn Your Instagram Feed into a Printed Photo Book

Your Instagram feed is a visual diary of your life — meals you loved, trips you took, friends you made, milestones you celebrated. But scrolling through a phone screen can never match the feeling of flipping through a printed book.

With My Social Book's Instagram photo book maker, you can turn your entire Instagram timeline into a professionally printed book — complete with captions, dates, locations, and likes. No need to manually select photos or design pages. Everything is pulled automatically.

In this guide, we walk you through the entire process step by step: how to connect your account, customize your book, and order a stunning keepsake that lasts forever.

Why Print Your Instagram Photos?

There are over 2 billion monthly active users on Instagram, sharing roughly 100 million photos every day. But here's the truth most people don't think about: digital content is fragile. Accounts get hacked, platforms change policies, and phones break.

Printing your Instagram photos means:

• Your memories are safe offline — no algorithm can hide them, no hack can delete them
• Captions preserved — every story you wrote, every joke you made, printed right beneath the photo
• Dates and locations included — your book becomes a chronological journal of your life
• A tangible keepsake — something you can hold, share on a coffee table, or give as a gift

Whether you have 200 posts or 5,000, My Social Book organizes them into a beautiful layout automatically.

How to Print Your Instagram Book in 3 Easy Steps

The whole process takes less than 5 minutes. Here's exactly how it works:

Step 1: Connect Your Instagram Account

Go to our Instagram photo book page and click "Create My Book." You'll be asked to connect your Instagram account.

Important: Instagram requires a Professional account (Creator or Business) to allow third-party apps to access your photos. Don't worry — switching is free, takes 30 seconds, and doesn't affect your followers, posts, or feed. You can switch back anytime after your book is created.

To switch to a Professional account:

1. Open Instagram and go to your profile
2. Tap the ☰ menu (top right)
3. Scroll to "For professionals" and tap "Account type and tools"
4. Tap "Switch to professional account"
5. Choose a category (e.g., "Personal blog") and select Creator or Business
6. Confirm — done!

Step 2: Preview and Customize Your Book

Once connected, our system automatically generates your book. It pulls in all your Instagram photos, arranges them chronologically, and includes:

• Your original captions
• The date each photo was posted
• Location tags (if available)
• Number of likes

You can customize the cover, choose a date range, and select between hardcover or softcover. Each book can hold up to 450 pages.

Step 3: Order Your Book

Happy with the preview? Place your order and your book will be printed and shipped to your door. Most orders are delivered within 10-15 business days.

After ordering, you can switch your Instagram account back to personal if you prefer. Go to Settings → Account type and tools → Switch to Personal Account.

What's Inside Your Instagram Photo Book?

An Instagram photo book from My Social Book isn't just a collection of images. It's a complete journal:

• Photos in high quality — optimized for print, not pixels
• Captions — every word you typed is preserved
• Chronological order — your book reads like a diary
• Dates and timestamps — remember exactly when each moment happened
• Location tags — a map of everywhere you've been
• Likes count — see which posts your friends loved most

The book measures 21 cm × 25 cm and is available in hardcover or softcover, ranging from 25 to 450 pages depending on how much content you have.

Instagram Photo Books Make the Perfect Gift

Looking for a unique, personal gift? An Instagram photo book is ideal for:

• Birthdays — create a 30th birthday photo book from their Instagram feed
• Anniversaries — document your relationship through Instagram posts
• Mother's Day or Father's Day — a book of family moments they'll treasure
• Graduation — four years of college memories in one book
• Travel memories — turn a trip's worth of Instagram posts into a travel journal

You can even create a book from someone else's public Instagram account as a surprise gift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to keep a Professional account?

No. You can switch back to a personal account immediately after creating your book. The switch is free and instant.

Will switching to Professional affect my account?

Not at all. Your followers, posts, and feed stay exactly the same. The only change is that you temporarily unlock additional features. One thing to note: switching auto-accepts any pending follow requests, so deny any you don't want before switching.

How many photos fit in one book?

Up to 450 pages. If you have more content, you can create multiple books by selecting different date ranges.

Can I choose which photos to include?

Yes! After the book is generated, you can edit, remove, or rearrange pages before ordering.

How much does an Instagram photo book cost?

Prices start from $30 depending on the number of pages and cover type. Check our pricing page for current rates.
