Can I use screenshots? How can I use photos from the web?

While you may use screenshots in your project, we highly recommend against this practice. When you take a screenshot, you capture not just the image but anything else visible on your screen as well. This can often include unwanted elements like black bars, toolbars, captions, social media icons, headers, or even loading symbols, which may end up in your final product. Additionally, screenshots typically result in a lower-quality print compared to uploading the original image file.

Instead, we recommend saving photos directly to your device.

To save images from the web: Most photos on the web can be saved by tapping and holding the image until a menu appears. If saving the image is allowed, you’ll see an option in that menu to save it to your device.

To use Facebook photos in your SimplePrints projects:

You may save Facebook photos to your iOS device and then upload them to your SimplePrints project from your device. You can also save photos from Facebook to another cloud service we connect with, like Google Photos or iCloud.

To use Instagram photos in your SimplePrints projects:

You can take a screenshot of your Instagram photos if you no longer have the original image. Please be aware that screenshots may not produce high-resolution prints, especially on larger products. Be sure to crop your screenshots to remove any undesirable icons or interface elements before uploading the images to your project!
