Get your photos off your phone and onto the fridge.

Your camera roll is full of photos nobody has looked at since the day you took them. PrintRight puts the good ones on one page, makes it look like you tried, and sends it to the printer. Collages, captions, borders, even a dog without his background.

PrintRight on iPad: a summer collage of six photos with the Layout picker open underneath.

Collages that sort themselves out.

Pick a layout and your photos drop straight in. Or tap Arrange for me and PrintRight shuffles them around, looking for faces so nobody loses their head. Literally. Drag a divider to give the dog more room (he’s earned it), drop one photo on another to swap them, then give the whole thing spacing, rounded corners and a background.

Then make it look like you meant it.

Looks, fonts, frames and a few tricks you’d normally need a laptop and a tutorial for. All of it right on the page, all of it free.

New look in one tap

Polaroid, filmstrip, sticker, gallery mat. Try them on like hats, no mirror needed.

The photo Styles panel on a photo-booth strip: None, Instant, Filmstrip, Sticker, Gallery mat and Black frame.

Fonts, wedding to ransom note

Elegant, loud, handwritten, slightly unhinged. There’s a font for every mood and most birthdays.

The font list with recent picks: Great Vibes, Bungee, Caveat, Monoton and Playfair Display.

Captions that tried

Headline, sticker, invitation, label maker. One tap, zero design degrees.

The text Styles panel showing SUMMER ARCHIVE as Plain, Sticker, Headline, Invitation and more.

Words with something to stand on

Ribbons, tickets, tags, speech bubbles, and a burst for when something is NEW!

The frame shape picker: rectangle, speech bubble, ribbon, ticket, tag, tab, chevron, plaque and burst.

Lose the background, keep the dog

One switch and the dog leaves the field behind. It happens on your phone and the dog doesn’t even notice.

The Adjust panel with Remove background switched on.

Crop where it sits

Drag, straighten, pick a ratio. No pop-up editor, no Cancel, no Done, no drama.

The Crop panel with aspect ratio presets and a straighten slider.
And also

Everything else it can do.

The bits above are the headliners. This is the rest of the band: very good, just never on the posters. All of it is in the free app.

Photos

  • Light, colour and detail. For that party picture taken mostly in the dark.
  • Filters. For when the dog needs to look like 1974.
  • Borders, shadows, rounded corners. On any photo, set exactly to taste.
  • Straighten, flip, rotate. For the horizon that was definitely straight when you took it.
  • Replace a photo. The better one keeps the frame and style, and nobody has to know.
  • Page backgrounds. Any colour or gradient, or plain white if you’re feeling classic.

Words and shapes

  • Symbols and shapes. Hearts, stars, balloons and arrows in any colour. Clip art, but tasteful.
  • Your own drawings. Bring in SVG files and recolour them. Yes, even the club logo.
  • Gradients and patterns. Inside letters, shapes and caption frames, for when one colour just won’t do.
  • Spacing that behaves. Letter, word and line spacing, down to the fussy bits.
  • Text boxes that reflow. Drag the width and the words follow.

Arranging

  • Guides that snap. To the edges, the middle and each other. Your inner perfectionist can sit down.
  • Select several things. Move, resize and rotate them together.
  • Align, stack, lock, duplicate. The usual suspects, all there.
  • Exact sizes. Centimetres, millimetres or inches, for people who own a ruler and use it.
  • Undo everything. Change your mind as often as you like. We won’t tell.

Paper and printing

  • Any paper. A4, US Letter, 10 × 15 photo paper or a size you make up, with or without margins.
  • AirPrint. Straight from the app, on photo paper or plain, in colour or moody black and white.
  • PDF and JPEG. For the print shop, the library or the friend who owns a printer.
  • Pages as files. Save a page, open it next week, pretend you finished it on time.
  • Roomy on iPad. Keyboard shortcuts, a pointer and photos dragged in from other apps. Elbow room for your elbows.
Made in PrintRight

A few things we printed this week.

All made on an iPhone and exported exactly as they print. The dog was very patient about it.

The fine print

Free. Properly free.

No pro version hiding the good bits, no trial that runs out on a Sunday evening.

Costs nothing

Not now, not after an update, not ever.

No ads

Nothing standing between you and your page.

No account

One less password to forget.

Your photos stay put

They leave your phone only when you print or share them.

Questions

Questions we actually get.

And if it isn’t here, write to [email protected]. A real person reads it, usually with coffee.

Is it really free?

Really. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads and no account. We don’t even have a way to take your money, we looked.

Can it make the collage for me?

Yes. Pick some photos, tap Collage and choose a layout, or tap Arrange for me and let the app have a go. Then drag the dividers or swap photos until it looks like your idea all along.

Do I need a printer?

It helps, but no. PrintRight prints to AirPrint printers, and it can also save a PDF or JPEG that you can take to a print shop, a library or the friend who owns a printer.

Which paper can I use?

A4, A5, US Letter, the usual photo sizes such as 10 × 15 cm and 4 × 6″, or a custom size. Sizes are real sizes, so a photo set to 10 × 15 cm comes out at 10 × 15 cm, not “roughly postcard”.

Where do my photos go?

Nowhere. Everything happens on your iPhone or iPad, and photos only leave it when you print, share or save a page yourself. The privacy policy is short for exactly that reason.

Something’s broken. Who do I shout at?

Us, politely. The support page has fixes for the usual printer drama, and an email address a person actually reads.

That sunset isn’t going to print itself.

Well, it sort of will. You just have to tap the button.
