01

Use the original file from Photos

Avoid screenshots, message attachments and social downloads. Use the original item from your photo library and check its pixel dimensions in the details view.

02

Choose the crop and frame together

Phone photos may be 4:3, 16:9, square or a portrait crop. Select a print size that respects the ratio or crop deliberately in the preview.

See it before you order
