Yes. You can upload your own custom designs using our 'Create & Upload Your Own Design' premium template.


What can I customize?

With the Custom Design template, you'll need to upload your own .jpg or .png files for:

  • Front cover

  • Back cover

  • Title page*

  • Table of Contents (there is also an option to autogenerate this page by clicking the

  • Section (chapter) divider pages**

*A title page is the first interior page of your book.

It usually includes:

  • The title of your cookbook

  • The author’s name (or family name)

  • Sometimes the year or location

The title page appears after the front cover and before the rest of your book begins.
​
**For section divider pages: Please note that if you upload images from the Heritage Cookbook photo library to act as section divider pages, the program does not add a title. For example, if you upload a picture of cornbread as the section title page for the "Sides" chapter of your book, the word "Sides" will not be added to the image.
​


Image requirements

Before uploading your design files, please ensure they are:

  • Saved as .jpg or .png

  • Between 300–600 DPI (dots per inch) or 2.2MB - 8MB in size

Using high-resolution files helps ensure your book prints clearly and professionally.


Good to know

  • You can switch templates at any time before placing your order.

  • Always preview your book to confirm your custom pages appear as expected.

  • If you're unsure whether your file meets print requirements, we’re happy to help.
