With the help of our smartphones, everyone is a photographer these days. But there’s one thing that this generation of photogs isn’t doing—printing their photos!
Our photos live on our phones, Facebook timelines, and Instagram feeds. Unlike us, our kids won’t have boxes and boxes of photos to look through and laugh at the fashion choices of their parents—but it doesn’t have to be that way! Just like our smartphones make it easier to take pictures, it also makes it easier to print them! And you can go beyond printing—you can make albums, gifts, and more right from your phone.
Blinglets, a free app from HP, lets you show off your Instagram photos on your wrist! Show off your favorite IG photos or make a cute bracelet for Grandma—you know she will love it! All you need is the Blinglet Photo Paper and a color printer!
Instantly Framed is the ultimate framing app for all of your Instagram, iPhone, and Facebook photos. Gallery curator Shalee Cooper created Instantly Framed because she wanted to find a way to preserve and archive digital memories. Simply download the app, select your photo and frame, and your framed digital photo will be delivered right to your door!
Artifact Uprising has made it really easy to create a photo book from your Instagram photos. Built with Instagram in mind, these softcover books feature a warm textured eggshell cover and 100-percent recycled interior pages with designs built to fit your square images. Connect directly to your Instagram feed—no uploading required!
If you want to keep it simple and just print out your photos, this is the cutest way to do it! Depending on the package and size of the prints, prices ranges from $20 to $25. Origrami is based in Sydney, Australia, but offers free shipping worldwide (no catch, you will only pay for faster shipping options).
Take your photos off your phone and put them…well, on your phone! Since you have your phone with you at all times, show off those photos on a cool case. Casetify allows you to create a custom case for your device with a collage from some of your Instagram (and Facebook) pictures.
