How to print photos from your phone to a printer

Updated October 30, 2026

You can print photos from your phone straight to a Wi-Fi printer, with no computer and no cable. With PrintHop you pick the photos, check how they will look on paper, and print them.

Steps

1. Open PrintHop and tap Photos. Select one photo or several.
2. Choose the paper size: A4, Letter, A5, Legal, 4×6 in or 5×7 in.
3. Choose Fit to keep the whole photo, or Fill to cover the page and crop the edges.
4. Pick a margin: none, small or normal. Use none for borderless photo paper if your printer supports it.
5. With several photos, choose 1, 2 or 4 photos per page to save paper.
6. Tap Print, choose your printer on the Android print screen, and print.

Tips for better photo prints

• Use photo paper and select the matching paper type on the print screen under the options arrow, when your printer offers it.
• 4×6 in is the usual photo size. Choose it in PrintHop and load 4×6 paper in the printer.
• Fit never cuts anything off. Fill looks better on a full page but crops the edges.
• High-resolution originals print sharper than photos that were compressed by a chat app.
