Four steps. Most of it runs itself.
You collect the photos and (optionally) design in Canva. Personalization happens automatically, and our team can even draft the whole book for you — free. Printed in the USA, delivered in about 3 weeks.
Collect and upload photos
Gather photos from families, teachers, and volunteers in a shared Google Drive folder — one per event, grade, and class. We can provide request-only upload links so parents contribute without seeing each other's photos.
Design in Canva (or let us draft it free)
Rethink is a yearbook company that designs in Canva: build the base book from our free Canva templates — or share your Drive folder and our design team builds your complete first draft for free. We don’t know of another yearbook company that does this. How the free first-draft design service works →
AI personalizes each child
For families who upgrade, each child's myClass or myGrade pages assemble automatically — 35–60 photos of their own class and grade, no manual layout and no parent effort.
Print and deliver, on time
Orders run through your school's online store. We print in the USA and deliver in about three weeks; on-time delivery before your last day of school is guaranteed when the book is approved for print at least 3 weeks before you need it, or we make it right.

How it works, answered.
How long does it take to make a yearbook with Rethink?
Print and delivery take about three weeks. Photos can be added until the photo deadline, and on-time delivery before your last day of school is guaranteed when the book is approved for print at least 3 weeks before you need it, or we make it right.
Do we have to design the yearbook ourselves?
No. You can design in Canva from free templates, or share your Google Drive folder and Rethink's design team builds your complete first draft for free — you just review and approve it. More for elementary schools →
What do families have to do?
Families order online and choose between a traditional yearbook or a personalized edition. Personalized books automatically include each child's own myClass or myGrade pages, featuring photos of their classmates and grade-level memories. Families can optionally upload two custom pages with their own photos and messages from home using our free Canva template.
