Scrapbook Template
Plan and print a scrapbook page. Choose a page size (12 × 12 in, 8.5 × 11 in or A4) and one of our 14 own layouts, from one big photo to a week in seven photos, and the template places photo mats, journaling cards, a title strip and embellishment zones on a grid inside the safe area of the page. Add your photos and each one is cropped to fill its slot, in order; or leave the slots empty and they print as outlines with their size, so you know what to print or trim. Type a title, a date and your journaling, pick colours, a background and the little drawings for the sticker zones. Print the full page, or choose Pieces to cut out: every mat, card and title strip prints at its true size on US Letter or A4, with a placement map that shows where each lettered piece goes on your 12 × 12 or 8.5 × 11 base. Download a PDF, 300 DPI PNG or SVG. Nothing is uploaded: photos stay in your browser tab.
100% private — everything runs in your browser. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Print at 100% (Actual size). A 12 × 12 page needs a printer or print shop that takes 12 × 12 paper; on a home printer choose Pieces to cut out and stick them on a 12 × 12 base.

Runs in your browser with our own code and drawings: nothing is uploaded and nothing is saved. Photos stay in this tab and are gone when you close it. Every layout is checked before you download it: every piece sits inside the safe area of the page and no two pieces overlap. The designs are our own drawings: you may use them and anything you make with them, including things you sell, with no credit needed.
How to make a scrapbook page
- Choose the page size, a layout and whether to print the full page or pieces to cut out.
- Add photos if you like: they fill the photo slots in order and are cropped to each slot’s shape.
- Type the title, a date or subtitle and your journaling, and choose colours, a background and the sticker zone drawings.
- Download the PDF and print at 100% (Actual size). For pieces, cut on the solid lines.
- Stick each piece on your base page where its letter is on the placement map, then add stickers and other embellishments in the dashed zones.
What you can use it for
- Holiday and travel pages
- Baby, birthday and family albums
- School year and graduation memories
- Wedding and anniversary pages
- A sketch to plan a layout before you cut paper
- Pocket-style journaling cards for a memory album

| Side by side | 2 | 1 | yes | 1 | 2 / 2 |
| Four square | 4 | 0 | yes | 0 | 3 / 2 |
| Nine grid | 7 | 1 | no | 1 | 2 / 2 |
| Photo column | 3 | 1 | yes | 1 | 2 / 2 |
| One big, four small | 5 | 1 | yes | 0 | 2 / 2 |
| Filmstrip | 5 | 1 | yes | 1 | 2 / 2 |
| Staircase | 3 | 3 | yes | 1 | 3 / 2 |

| Quiet page | 1 | 1 | yes | 1 | 2 / 2 |
| Week in photos | 7 | 1 | yes | 0 | 2 / 2 |
Every layout sits on a 12 × 12 grid inside the safe area with an even gap between pieces, so nothing runs off the page and nothing overlaps. The pieces count leaves out the placement map, which is always sheet 1.
Page sizes
| Page | Size | Safe margin | Gap between pieces | Photo mat border |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 × 12 in scrapbook page | 304.8 × 304.8 mm | 12.7 mm | 6.4 mm | 3.2 mm |
| 8.5 × 11 in (US Letter) | 215.9 × 279.4 mm | 9.5 mm | 4.8 mm | 2.4 mm |
| A4 (210 × 297 mm) | 210 × 297 mm | 9.5 mm | 4.8 mm | 2.4 mm |
The safe margin keeps every piece away from the trimmed edge of the page. The photo mat border is the coloured edge around each photo.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a scrapbook page?
Pick a layout, print it, and arrange your photos, mats, journaling and title on the base page before you glue anything. This template does the measuring: every piece has its size and place, and the placement map shows where each one goes. Add stickers and other embellishments last.
What size is a scrapbook page?
The two sizes on this page are 12 × 12 in (304.8 mm square) and 8.5 × 11 in (the size of a US Letter sheet). A4 is here too for printing outside North America. Every layout works on all three.
Can I print a 12 × 12 page on a home printer?
Most home printers take only Letter or A4. Choose Pieces to cut out: the mats, cards and title strip print at their true size on Letter or A4 to stick on a 12 × 12 base. A strip wider than the paper prints as wide as the paper allows and the map tells you to centre it. To print the whole page in one piece, use a printer or print shop that takes 12 × 12 paper.
How do I add my photos?
Use Add photos and choose up to 12 pictures. They fill the photo slots in order and each one is cropped from its centre to fill its slot. The photos never leave your browser tab and are gone when you close it.
What sizes are the photo slots?
It depends on the layout and the page. On a 12 × 12 page the big photo in the Big moment layout is 184.1 × 184.1 mm, and on 8.5 × 11 it is 129.6 × 172 mm. Empty slots print their size, so you can print or trim photos to fit.
What is a journaling card?
A lined card for the story behind the photos: who, where and what you want to remember. The first card prints the text you type; the others have short headings and lines to write on by hand. Turn the headings off for plain lined cards.
What are the dashed zones for?
They are embellishment zones: places for stickers, die cuts, washi tape or ephemera. They show one of our little drawings (stars, hearts, flowers, leaves or suns) or stay empty.
Can I use the layouts as a sketch?
Yes. Leave the photo slots empty and choose No background: the page prints as a clean layout sketch with every element’s size, ready to copy onto patterned paper.
Can I use these pages for things I sell?
Yes. The layouts and drawings are ours and you may use them in things you sell without giving credit. The note under the tool gives the full terms.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything is drawn by JavaScript in your browser and never leaves your device, and nothing is saved when you close the page.
