Step by step

From your code to your prints.

Code and registration — Magic Photography ordering gallery
Step 1

Code and registration

Your gallery code arrives on a flyer from your centre or school, or by email. Click the link in the email, or type the code into the box on our ordering site. Create your account and your photos are there waiting.

Gallery and editable sheets — Magic Photography ordering gallery
Step 2

Gallery and editable sheets

Your images sit on the left, the available packages on the right. Pick the package you want and the sheets become editable. A multi-photo sheet comes in lots of layouts — the different ways your photos are arranged on the page. Keep the sample layout, or press Change design to see the others.

Step 3

Editing your images

You choose which of your photos goes in each space, and you can change one of them or all of them. On a computer, drag a photo from your gallery onto the space, or hover the photo and press Insert image. On a phone, tap the space on the sheet first, then tap the photo you want in it. On a computer you can also zoom, move and re-crop the photo inside its frame. On a phone the editor is simpler: Rotate, black and white, sepia, and Original to undo. If you rotate a photo, give it a moment to save before you press Done. Take your time here: this is exactly how they’ll print.

Step 4

Adding a package to your cart

Happy with it? Add the package to your cart. You’ll get one last look at the order before it goes in. Once it’s added, you can add any of our most popular products at a discounted price.

Single images, group photos and checkout — Magic Photography ordering gallery
Step 5

Single images, group photos and checkout

For individual items choose Single items in the menu — on a phone the menu is behind the ☰ button at the top left — and the page opens headed All products, listing every category. For a class or group photo pick Group photos from that list and choose your print size; on the next screen you can swap the collage style for the classic style, where it’s available, by inserting it over the other photo. Then check out, choose your delivery, fill in your details, accept the terms and pay. Delivery choices and any offer on at the time are shown at checkout, and your gallery counts down how long the discounted prices last.

Step 6

Downloading your digital images

Common questions

Where do I find my gallery code?

Your code comes home on a flyer from your centre or school, or arrives by email. If you cannot find either, email [email protected] with your child's name and their centre or school and we will resend it.

How long do I have to order?

Galleries stay open for a set period after your photo day. The closing date is shown in your gallery and in the email. If yours has closed, get in touch and we will do what we can.

Can I change a photo after I have ordered?

Contact us as soon as you can. If the order has not gone to print we can usually still change it.

When do digital images arrive?

Straight away. Choose Download photos in the menu (My account › My pictures) the moment payment goes through.

Can grandparents order separately?

Yes. Share the gallery code and they can create their own account and order their own prints.
