5 Ways to Get a Free 8×8 Shutterfly Photo Book! • 2024

Looking to design a photo book as a gift or for yourself? I think Shutterfly is definitely your best bet! I’m certainly not alone as they print millions of books a year.

The good news is that there’s always a coupon available, and sometimes you can even find a promo code for a free photobook which saves about $25!

So, is Shutterfly offering free photo books now?

Probably not. Shutterfly sometimes has a promotion or code for a free photo book available but it’s pretty rare. If they do, it’s usually only the 8×8″ size, only the first 20 pages are free, and you have to pay for shipping. (cost?) That means that even if Shutterfly has free photo book promotion going on now, it will save you $29.98 but might not be the best promotion available today for your order.

Instead, you might find that an offer for 50-70% off photo books (or store-wide?) is better and might even include extra pages or free shipping! (Check today’s deals)

In any event, here are 5 potential ways to get a free photo book from Shutterfly.

2. Free Photo Book Code? Check the “Promotion Details” Page at Shutterfly.com

Shutterfly promo codes change every day, and coupon sites can’t always keep up. However, there is a promotion details page at shutterfly.com that lists the terms of all the codes that they publicly advertise on their coupon page.

The free photo book codes can pop up unexpectedly but are good for a couple of days and then disappear. So, it’s worth checking often if you aren’t in a rush to print your book.

Tip: Look for great freebies like a free 8×8 photo book between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Cyber Monday, and before other popular holidays.

If they are currently offering a code for a free 8×8 photo book or 6×6 Instant Book it will be on this page. You also might find an even better code for your photo book order for up to 50% off and free shipping that includes popular 8×11, 12×12, and lay-flat photo books!

*Coupon: 25% off Walgreens Contacts!


3. Free 8×8 Photo Book for NEW Customers?

While talking about free Shutterfly photo books we’d be remiss to not mention their free photo book designer service.
