Photo Printing

We offer over 30 different photo print sizes, catering for a variety of preferences in square, portrait and landscape formats. We list our photo print sizes in inches but also provide the approximate equivalent size in centimetres too.

Our photo print range includes mini prints measuring as small as 2x2 inches (approximately 5x5 centimetres), perfect for those who appreciate a compact format. For those seeking larger prints, our biggest photo prints are 20x20 inches (approximately 51x51 centimetres – that’s over half a metre in size!), allowing you to showcase your photos in stunning detail. Additionally, we also provide panoramic prints, which are ideal for capturing beautiful landscapes or group shots.

If you're looking for a specific size that is not listed within our popular photo sizes, we've got you covered. Our custom size prints are an option which allows you to set your own height and length of photo print, ensuring that you can create a personalised print to fit almost any picture frame and they can even be sized to fit a tiny photo locket pendent as small as 1x1 centimetre.

It's important to note that the orientation and aspect ratio of your photo may differ from the orientation and size of the photo print you choose. In such cases, we provide a free, user-friendly photo cropping editing tool that allows you to easily rotate and crop your photo to fit the selected direction and print size.

We pride ourselves on offering flexibility and choice when it comes to photo prints. Whether you prefer mini prints, square prints, retro style prints, large photo prints or collage prints, our diverse range has something for everyone. So, explore our selection and discover the perfect print size to bring your memories to life.

Each photo print size we offer has its own product page which contains useful product information and tips which helps you to choose the right print size for you.

Please note that all published sizes have a trim tolerance of +/- 3mm.

Choosing the correct photo print size for your picture frame is crucial to enhance the visual appeal of your photos. Too small and there may be an unsightly gap between the photo and frame, too large and part of your beautiful photo may be hidden from view.  It’s important to remember that photo prints in the UK are typically measured in inches whereas photo frames can be measured in inches or centimetres and so you may need to do a metric to imperial inch conversion to size your prints correctly. You will need a ruler or tape measure with inches on one side and centimetres on the other in order to accurately measure the frame or print.
‍
This size of print required will largely depend upon whether you use a mount with your frame or not. The mount is the decorative white card insert which provides a buffer between the photo print and frame. It is sometimes provided with a frame to provide a professional, gallery look.
‍
If you are not using a mount start by measuring the height and width of the inside of the frame in inches and add on 1/2 inch to each dimension your measure to achieve the approximate size of the photo print you need for the frame. For example, if the opening on the inside of the frame measures 11 and ½ inches you need a print size of 12 inches. This is because a small part of the print (around 1/4 inch on each side and ½ inch in total) needs to be positioned inside the thickness of the frame in order to hold the print in place and ensure that there is no gap between the print and frame.
‍
If you are using a mount with your frame measure the height and width of the opening (aperture) in the mount and add on 1/2 inch to each dimension to achieve the approximate size of the photo print you need for the mount. For example, if the opening in the mount measures 3 and ½ inches you need a print size of 4 inches. This is because a small part of the print (around 1/4 inch on each side and ½ inch in total) needs to be positioned behind the mount in order to fix the print to the mount to hold it in place and to ensure that there is no gap between the print and mount.
‍
Bearing in mind some of your print will be hidden inside the frame itself or behind the mount it is important to ensure no part of the photo you want to see displayed is within ¼ inch of the edge of your photo because this will most likely be hidden from view. For those of you who prefer metric measurements ¼ inch is equivalent to approximately 0.6 of a centimetre or 6 millimetres.

Our extensive range of professional photo prints ensures that you can find the perfect option to suit your needs.

Each print size is priced individually and displayed in an open and transparent way on each photo print web page and includes VAT. In most cases pricing is banded so that the more prints you buy of the same size or type the lower the price per print.

‍

Along with printing photos, users can also use the apps to easily create personalised gifts, canvas prints, photo postcards and personalised photo upload cards.

We suggest that photos are uploaded in JPG file format. This format is automatically created when you take a photo on a mobile phone or using a digital camera and so your phone should automatically do this for you.

If a photo is too low-resolution to print crisply at the print size you have selected our website presents a red warning alert when the photo is uploaded. If you see this warning, we suggest you swap your photo for a better-quality, higher resolution photo. If you do not have an alternative photo or if it has sentimental you can still print it, but unfortunately, we will not be able to improve the quality of the photo.
‍
Generally speaking, the ideal photos to print crisply are those taken on a smart phone and uploaded direct from the phone. These images are generally 5-10mb each with a resolution in excess of 300dpi.
‍
Photos which have been sent to you by WhatsApp are generally compressed and reduced in size to allow for fast transfer from one electric device to another. These photos are around 200kb in size and although they may look good on screen, they are not generally suitable for producing high quality detailed photo prints.

We use two different types of photo paper depending upon the type of photo prints you choose.
‍
Mini prints are printed digitally on thick, photo optimised 300gsm, FSC approved photo paper. This photo paper is available with a matte (lustre) finish.
‍
Our larger prints at 4x4” and above are printed traditionally using Silver Halide photo printing. These prints are printed on professional quality Fujifilm Crystal Archive photo paper. This photo paper ensures you receive sharp printed photographs with true to life colours and should last a lifetime. Our photo paper is available in a gloss and matte finish.

The choice of photo finish depends upon personal preference, the style you are looking for and how you plan to use your photo prints.
‍
Gloss photo prints have a smooth, shiny finish which make them ideal for photos with contrasting and vibrant colours. However, gloss photo prints are not generally ideal if you are framing the prints behind glass because gloss prints can sometimes stick to the glass of the frame and result in a “wavy” effect.
‍
Matte (lustre) prints are printed on textured photo paper which minimises shine and gives a less intense, subdued finish. Matte prints prevent fingerprints and are generally a better option if you are framing the photos because unlike gloss prints, they are less likely to stick to the glass of a frame.
‍
Please note that our retro and wide retro prints are only available with a matt finish.
