How to Print Photos from Your Phone

You Don't Need a Computer

You can order prints straight from your phone's browser. Upload photos from your camera roll, choose a size and paper, and the prints are delivered to your door.

Step 1: Pick Your Photos

Go through your camera roll and choose your favourites first. It is easier to pick 30 great photos than to sort through 3,000 while ordering. Many people make a separate album on their phone for the photos they want to print.

Step 2: Use the Originals

Upload photos straight from your camera roll, not copies saved from WhatsApp or other chat apps. Chat apps compress photos to save data, and that lost detail shows up as blur or blotches in a print, especially a large one.

If a photo was sent to you, ask the sender for the original, or save it from a shared album instead of the chat.

Our resolution guide shows how many pixels each size needs.

Step 3: Choose the Right Size

Most phone photos have a 4:3 shape. A 6x8 inch print matches it exactly. The classic 4x6 inch print crops a small strip from the top or bottom, which is fine for most photos. Square photos suit 5x5 or 6x6 inch prints.

Step 4: Glossy or Matte?

Choose glossy for bright, punchy colours. Choose matte if the photos will be framed or handled a lot, because it reduces glare and fingerprints.

Our glossy vs matte guide compares them in detail.

Step 5: Check Before You Order

Look at each photo in the preview. Check that faces aren't cut off at the edges and that nothing important is cropped. Then set how many copies you want and check out.
