A great way to get started is by browsing the Shutterfly Gallery. Take a look at the amazing photo books submitted by Shutterfly members—you’re sure to get inspired. See who is featured in the Member Spotlight. Browse by featured books, category and popularity.

If you want to participate in some of the interactive aspects of Shutterfly Gallery or create a book of your own, simply sign in or register at Shutterfly.com.

Once you register (or if you’re already a member) a community profile will automatically be created and assigned to you. In your Community Profile, you can modify your screen name, upload your own “Hello...” picture, or edit the details about a project you’ve posted. You can even include a brief description about yourself. Plase note: Upon sign up/sign in, you can always locate your community profile at the bottom of My Shutterfly.

Post a photo book from the Community section in My Shutterfly by selecting the ‘Post to Gallery’ link. You will then be taken to the ‘Select a project to post’ page, where you can choose the photo book you would like to post. Remember to first read our guidelines on posting books, which can be found on the Shutterfly Gallery homepage.

Getting involved is easy. Browse member-submitted photo books by category, by our recommended editorial picks, by popularity or by tags from the Shutterfly Gallery homepage. When you find creations that inspire you, and you’re signed in, leave a comment, give a star rating and mark as favorites the photo books you’d like to return to later.
