How to Print Photos from an iPhone

There are two ways to print photos from your iPhone, depending on whether or not you have a printer.

If your printer supports AirPrint (Apple's built-in feature for wirelessly printing full-quality photos and documents from iOS devices), you can print photos directly from it over Wi-Fi.

If you don't have a printer, you can order prints online from a photo printing service, or collect them from a local print shop.

Whichever option you choose, we will explain how to use it patiently.

Method 1: How to Print Photos from the Photos App on Your iPhone

This method will work if you have a printer that supports Apple's "AirPrint." If you're not sure whether your printer is compatible, you can check by looking at the list of AirPrint-compatible printers. If your printer is on the list, you can print your photos by following the steps below. If it isn't, skip to Method 2 for alternative printing methods.

1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Select the photo you want to print, then tap the Share button in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

Step 3: Scroll down and select “Print.”

Step 4: Your iPhone should then automatically detect nearby AirPrint printers, from which you can choose one to print with.

Tip: Think twice before you buy a printer. Printing photos at home can be expensive, especially if you don't print often. The cost of the printer, paper, and ink can really add up.

Method 2: How to Print Photos from Your iPhone on a Computer

Whether you plan to print your photos online or at a physical store, you'll first need to transfer your iPhone pictures to your computer or an external hard drive – especially if you're printing lots of them. Not only will this make it easier to find the specific photo you want, but it also reduces the risk of accidentally deleting some of your photos.

To transfer photos from your iPhone to a computer or an external drive, you can try this tool – MobiMover, one of the few iOS data transfer tools that allow you to move iPhone photos to a computer and an external drive. After transferring the pictures, you can print them out using your computer or find the nearest printing shop to get it done.

Also, if you want to print messages from your iPhone, MobiMover can do it well. Now, download MobiMover and start to print your photos.

Step 1: Connect your iPhone to the Mac and launch MobiMover. Tap "Trust" on the iPhone screen to trust this Mac. Choose "Phone to Mac" and click "Next".

Step 2: Choose the category you want to export from your iPhone to your Mac. Since you're saving your text messages from your iPhone to your Mac, check the box next to “Messages.” You can change the default path and choose a different location if you like, then click “Transfer.”

Step 3: Wait for the transfer to complete. This information will be saved as an HTML file on your Mac, so you can view the details using a browser at any time.

Method 3: Print Photos from Your iPhone with a Photo Printing App

If you need specific print sizes, or want to print postcards, calendars, or greeting cards, using an iPhone photo printing app is a good option. There are many to choose from, such as Shutterfly, Print Studio, Printastic, and Snapfish. Most offer a certain number of free prints (10-100), various print sizes, and different paper types.

Since users have different printing needs, it's hard to say which one would be best for you. You might want to try one out and see.
