Snapfish is an online photo printing service that has been around for decades, and it remains one of the most affordable and straightforward ways to turn your digital photos into physical prints and personalized gifts. You can order from the Snapfish website on a computer or through the free mobile app on your iPhone or Android.
Creating an account on Snapfish is free, and storing your photos there is also free — Snapfish offers unlimited photo storage, which makes it a useful backup option as well as a place to order from.
Standard photo prints are the most popular product. Sizes include 4x6 (the classic wallet-size), 5x7 (good for frames), 8x10 (portrait-style), and larger. Standard 4x6 prints typically cost around $0.09 to $0.19 each, depending on whether there's a promotion running. Snapfish runs sales frequently — sometimes 50% to 70% off — so it pays to check before ordering.
To order prints, upload photos from your phone or computer. In the mobile app, tap the + button to add photos directly from your camera roll. On the website, click Upload Photos and select files from your computer. Once uploaded, choose a product type — Prints, Photo Books, Gifts — and follow the customization steps.
Photo books are one of Snapfish's most popular products. You choose a size (softcover or hardcover, various dimensions), a template, and then drag your photos into the pre-designed pages. You can add captions under each photo, change background colors, and rearrange pages. A standard 20-page softcover book costs around $10 to $20 before any promotions.
Beyond prints and books, Snapfish makes mugs (popular gifts — upload a photo and a name), fleece blankets, puzzles, calendars, phone cases, pillows, and greeting cards. These make thoughtful personalized gifts for birthdays, Mother's Day, and holidays.
For paper finish, glossy is the standard choice and looks vibrant. Matte has less glare and is better for photos with people, especially for framing.
Shipping typically takes 7 to 10 business days for standard delivery, with faster options available for a higher fee. Some products can be shipped directly to the gift recipient with a personalized note.
Snapfish stores all the photos you upload, and you can re-order the same photos or products at any time without re-uploading.
