The basics

Five steps, start to finish

01

Upload your photo

Start in the Editor. Drag in a nature, animal or travel shot, or pick one from your phone. No account needed to start — you can edit right away.
02

Edit & enhance

Crop, straighten, adjust brightness and colour, and apply filters until the greens, blues and textures look the way you remember them.
03

Pick a product & place the frame

Choose a product in the Print Lab — framed print, canvas, tee, mug, tote. The product frame shows exactly which part of your photo lands on the print area.
04

Preview the real mockup

Generate a genuine Printify mockup and see your image on the actual product before you spend anything. Not right? Go back and adjust — it costs nothing to look.
05

Order it for real

Happy with it? Order from the Print Lab — pay here by card, or buy on our store. Printify prints it and ships it to your door.

Best practices

Get the best results

Start with a high-resolution photo

Print quality depends on the source. The larger and sharper your original, the better it looks on canvas or a framed print. Avoid heavily compressed images and screenshots.

Mind the crop for each product

A framed print, a mug and a tee have very different shapes. Use the product frame and the mockup preview so no antlers, wingtips or horizons get cut off.

Wildlife shots love a tight crop

Animals often sit small in the frame. Crop in close on the subject before you print — it reads far better at arm's length on a wall than the full scene does.

Preview before you pay

Every order starts as a free preview. Use it. See how it looks first, then choose Pay here or Buy on store only when you're happy.

Your trip. Your photo. Your print.

That's the whole journey. Upload something you loved seeing, and let it leave the screen.
