Questions
+How many photos do I need?
Books start at 20 pages. Around 30–150 photos works beautifully; you can upload up to 800 per book.
+Is the PDF free?
As a guest, your first high-resolution PDF of every book is free; sign in and you get 5 free PDFs of every book. After that, each new PDF of a changed book is ₹499 — and if you order a printed copy, every PDF of that book is free. Downloading again without changes is always free.
+How long does printing take?
Every book is custom-made for your order — printed, bound and quality-checked by hand — so it takes 10–12 working days before it ships. Delivery across India then takes 2–7 working days, with tracking.
+Can I edit after the auto-design?
Everything is editable: swap photos, change layouts, crop, add captions, add or remove pages.
+Can I import photos from Google Photos or Google Drive?
Yes. On your book's upload page choose Import from Google Photos or Google Drive, and pick the photos you want in Google's own window. Chitragatha only receives the photos you pick — it can't see the rest of your library — and the access ends after the import. Details are in our privacy policy.
+Can family and friends add their photos?
Yes. Create an invite link or QR code on the upload page and share it — guests add their photos without an account, and they can't see yours or each other's.
+Do you support iPhone HEIC photos?
HEIC photos imported from Google Photos work automatically. For uploads from your device, set your camera to “Most Compatible” or export as JPEG — direct HEIC upload is on the roadmap.
