The whole drive on a map
Your route is drawn in the book from the first stop to the last, the roads you actually took rather than straight lines between cities. Anyone leafing through it sees how the trip unfolded.
Road trip photo book
A personalised road trip book, with every mile on the map
Footprintbook turns your road trip into a book: each stop with your photos and your own words, the whole drive on a map, everything in the order you travelled. Then make each page your own.
A road trip is made of the places in between: the diner nobody planned, the viewpoint you pulled over for, the motel with the neon sign. Those are exactly the moments that get lost in a camera roll. Footprintbook records your route while you drive and keeps your photos and notes at every stop, so when you get home your road trip book already has its shape. Keep the automatic layout, or polish every page until it looks the way you remember the drive.
Every stop gets its page
Because Footprintbook keeps photos and notes per stop as you go, the book is already in order: day by day, town by town. No evenings spent working out which beach was which.
Your notes next to your photos
What you wrote on the road sits next to the picture, so the book tells the story the way it felt at the time, not in captions you invent afterwards.
Personalise every page
On a computer or large tablet you can move, enlarge, rotate and crop photos, choose fonts and colours, add polaroid frames and background colours, and add or reorder pages. Give the cover your own title.
Videos that play from the page
Stops with a video get a small QR code. Scan it with a phone and the clip plays straight away, with no app or account needed. Perfect for that convertible stretch along the coast.
Drive together, make one book
Everyone in the car can add their photos and notes to the same trip, so the book holds the best shots from every phone, not just the driver's.
Sharp prints, no surprises
A print check warns you about photos too small for their spot and about text too close to the edge. Download a free preview before you order.

Leaf through a sample book
This is what Footprintbook makes of a two-week trip, all by itself: route map, photos and stories, ready to print. Yours will be made of your own trip.

Questions about road trip books
How many pages can a road trip book have?
A hardcover has 24 to 504 pages, a layflat book 18 to 122. On a long drive you choose which stops get a full page.
Do I need to track the route while driving?
It helps, because then the map follows the roads you took. But you can also build the trip afterwards from your photos: their time and place give the order of the stops.
Is it free to make the book?
Designing your book and downloading a preview cost nothing. You only pay if you order a printed copy.
Which formats are available?
A4 and square, as a hardcover or as a layflat book that opens completely flat, which is great for wide landscape shots across two pages.
Does it make a good gift?
Yes. A road trip book is a lasting present for the people you drove with, or for family who followed along from home. Check the free preview first, then order.
