Print photos from your phone
Your best photos are probably on your phone. You can print them in frame sizes without a computer or an app.
Choose a photo and a frame size.
Print from your phoneHow big can a phone photo print?
Recent phones take 12 megapixel photos or more, which print sharply at A3 and look good at A2 on a wall. Use the original from your camera roll: photos sent through WhatsApp or Messenger are usually shrunk.
The sizes that fit phone photos
Most phone photos are 3:4, the same shape as a 30 × 40 cm print, so nothing is trimmed. Other sizes trim a little, and you choose which part.
iPhone HEIC photos
iPhones can save photos as HEIC, which some browsers cannot open. In Settings > Camera > Formats choose "Most Compatible", or share the photo as a JPG.
Questions
Do I need an app?
No. Open the photo prints page on your phone and choose the photo.
Can I print a screenshot?
Yes, but screenshots have few pixels, so keep them small: A5 or 13 × 18 cm.
