Snapstagram Lets You Print Your Instagram Pics With Ease
April 14th, 2012
If you’re into iPhonetography (meaning you use your iPhone a lot to take photos), then you’ve probably already heard of Instagram. In case you haven’t, it’s a free app that lets you apply filters and all sorts of cool effects to your shots.
Late last year, a service called Prinstagram surfaced on the web. It allowed users to order mini prints, photo books, and posters of their Instragram shots all compiled together. But if you’re looking to get larger prints of your shots without having to go edit them in Photoshop, then you can go for Snapstagram.
The web-based service will offer an easy-to-use interface to select batches of 12 photos from your Instagram account and have them output into 4″x4″ square prints. A “roll” of 12 prints will cost you $6 (USD) including shipping.
Snapstagram is currently raising funds on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $5 will get you a promo code for 1 roll which contains printouts of 12 photos. They’ve already hit their goal, so they’re definitely moving forward with the site.

Getting instagram prints is actually very nice. While the two mentioned websites are good for small size prints, I recommend Bumblejax to anyone looking for creating wall-art from their instagram images. They mount the enlarged image(upto 18*18) to more unique materials such as bamboo, acrylic and aluminum. Worth checking out: http://blog.bumblejax.com/hipstamatic-instagram-photos-gallery-art-prints/
That’s cool. Thanks for the tip.
Firebox in the UK offer a package similar to Snapstagram that do polaroid-style prints. Photobox offer 40 free prints when you sign up too. I’ve compiled a UK friendly list of places to get Instagram prints on my site, would be great if you could check it out: http://www.freephotoprinting.co.uk/how-to/instagram_printing-7.php I have missed these two so I shall have a look and see if they ship here!
