Where to get photos printed smaller than 6x4"?!

strawberriessugarcream · 06/07/2022 13:42

I usually get photos printed at photobox.com, but this time I need smaller ones to fit into smaller frames. Does anyone know of an online photo printing company that would do that, please?!

What would be ideal would be a company where you can input the size of your frame (for frames that are non-standard sizes) and then see on screen how the photo would look in the frame so that you can decide what size to have the photo printed. (Rather than them company having to print non-standard shaped photos, they could just leave the unneeded bits white, for people to cut off, iyswim.)

Thanks so much if anyone can help with this!

Get someone to edit the photo or even photos to the right size onto one 6x4 image (with extra white surround where needed to make up the size from what you need to 6x4). Save that image and take it to a Boots that does ph0to printing (IME best quality prints) print out.

You might find you can print two images onto one sheet of 6x 4 , and simply cut to fit (which will save you a little money)

Thanks for your reply! Do you know whether editing photos like that needs special software, or is it something that could be done on any computer?!

I use freeprints, which allows you to print to size 4x3.5

Can you upload your photos to your computer then adjust the size and print them out onto photo print paper

@BlanketsBanned Unfortunately my printer is not good enough quality

Does it have to be done online, could you go to a photo shop with your camera

Online would certainly be easiest, because for health reasons I'm not very mobile at the moment. Do photo shops do prints in custom sizes?

I’ve used FreePrints for smaller prints, they also allow you to (in a limited way) position and crop your images.
I think my local max spielman shop would probably be able to help, is it worth googling/phoning if you have a local one?

One thing about free prints I've noticed lately is that while they're great for standard sized photos (6x4 and 5×6) I've noticed when ordering larger sizes they have an annoying habit of cropping them for seemingly no reason at all and without giving you the option to adjust.

So if anyone's looking for larger copies of images, I'd go elsewhere.
