In this guide check out the top 8 best mobile apps to order photos for printing from your mobile/tablet/phablet. Mobile Photo Printing apps.
Hardly anyone prints all the digital photos they take nowadays. But if you lose data stored on your computer or smartphone you also lose those precious memories. Having prints on hand also has its own charm. So why not take some prints to cherish them and show them around?
If you own a smartphone there are some awesome apps you can use to order prints online. Just shoot and edit photos online and send them directly for printing. All this from your smartphone without using a computer! Most such app sites print and mail photos to you or nearby stores for pickup.
Free Prints
Free Points lets you order up to 85 photos- only a single copy- for free. You get delivery in 5-13 days and any additional print is charged 9 cents each. Pay a shipping fee of $2.99, and if you want them earlier an additional dollar. Not bad a deal at all, eh!
This app is available for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Windows 8. You can print photos saved on a smartphone or link Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Picasa, and Dropbox accounts to PhotoAffections.com. Photo and paper quality is quite reasonable. The site sends regular offers for ordering photo cards, canvas prints, etc.
Kicksend
Share photos privately with friends or order prints to be mailed to you or sent to local pickup options like Walgreens, Target, and CVS. Kicksend is free, available on iOS, Android, and Windows 8, and doesn’t need you to open an account with them.
When you launch the app you have to ‘order photo prints as guest’ and choose ‘prints for me’ and there you go!
You can get prints within an hour and have photos shipped to anyone or simply share them online in a group. Shipping is free for 10-plus print orders. A single 4/6-inch photo costs 49 cents, and it lets you view photos only from a camera roll and not albums.
Snapfish
Snapfish offers you two options order prints within an hour’s delivery or orders through the mail, which takes more time. Option two is cheaper- you pay nine cents per photo over shipping which starts at 99 cents but if you go by option one where you pick photos locally from Meijer or at Walgreens you end up paying 29 cents per print plus tax. What is good about them is they provide 100 free photo prints every month.
You can use Snapfish from iOS or Android and have to open an account with them. The app runs faster than the web sign-in.
Shutterfly
This is an easy app with a polished interface for Android, iPhone, or iPad devices. You sign up for it online and get the first 50 4/6 inch prints free. Thereon, pay 10 cents per 4/6 inch photo or 16 cents for a 4/4 inch square print.
No local pickup from this one, Shutterfly ships prints directly to you and standard shipping are $2.69. It gives you a really cool Collage Creator where after picking a style and tweaking photos to create a collage you can order it printed.
Walgreens
Why use Walgreens only for local pickup when you can use its app from any iOS, Windows Phone or Android? Prints are 29 cents for a 4/6 inch size, ready within the hour, and printable in regular, collage, photo-card, or canvas print styles.
Walgreen offers a Balance Rewards card for gaining points every time you order, and you can use its ‘PrintWorthy’ card option to take a 5/7-inch print of any Facebook photo along with its caption, likes, etc.
