Smartphones these days come equipped with top-notch cameras, and while people love snapping great pictures from these phones, they aren’t quite sure how to store and print those photos. Transferring your smartphone photos to your computer doesn’t have to be a tricky task. For some devices, you can use a USB data cable to do so. However, not all devices are made the same, and it’s often easier to explore other options: Unless you have your own deluxe printer at home, you should rely on a store or printing service to get quality prints — and you can do it all straight from your phone! Numerous photo-storage websites have made uploading or storing digital photos easy. And now, many of these sites have complementary apps so you can easily transfer photos from your phone to your computer, or bypass the desktop altogether and order prints right from your mobile device. Sign up for a free Shutterfly account and enjoy unlimited storage space. The site also allows you to edit photos, order prints and share albums with friends and family.

The Shutterfly app makes things even more convenient by allowing you to do all this from your phone or tablet. Then, you can easily access and save your smartphone photos on your computer. Snapfish is another great app that’s free to download and offers free storage options and the ability to order prints from your phone. You choose whether you want to pick up your ordered prints from local retailers or receive them by mail. For even more mobile photo printing options, you can check out the York Photo and HP ePrint apps. The Print Studio app offers tiny photo sticker books, greeting cards, business cards, magnets and photostrip-style prints. Or, you can go big with poster-sized prints, prints sturdy enough for wall framing or a collage of up to 200 photos on a single wall poster. The app is a beautiful experience, too. Simply choose a photo from your gallery or a photo app, dictate what you want the end product to be and go through a variety of customization options (including cropping).

It’s simple enough for any novice to use and provides a ton of fun variety for the pros. Paris-based Printic® might be the easiest, most adorable way to print and mail photos from your phone. The app takes a vintage spin on photo prints with its Polaroid-style frame and thin, high-gloss photo paper. And the pictures arrive in the mailbox in Printic’s signature orange envelope or box. The app installs in a snap and walks you through printing choices such as a linen, hardcover photobook with 20 to 40 pages or individual prints. Before you order, you can choose to add text, crop photos, make copies and change print sizes. Once you’ve selected the style of print you want, the app automatically pulls photos from your phone’s gallery as well as any of the other photo apps installed on your device. Whichever app you choose, printing photos from your phone is just a few simple taps.186 Uses Today 40% Off Select Photo Gifts Details: Get 40% off select Photo Gifts 5% Success  •

But unless you're meticulously sharing and backing up your photos online, most of them are probably languishing in your smartphone’s digital archives. Free your photos from the shackles of your smartphone with services and hardware that make it easy to print your photos professionally (for shipping directly to you), on the go or at home.

We’ve rounded up our favorite, easy ways to print photos from your smartphone. Most photo developers today print smartphone pictures. Apps such as Kicksend and Snapfish let you order prints for pickup at retailers such as Walgreens. Even more streamlined photo services let you order prints from your smartphone for delivery to your home within a couple of days. Send photos from your smartphone to one of our favorite print services to get lab-quality prints without leaving the house or shelling out for your own printer. This sleek, intuitive app takes care of printing pictures as well as photo books, greeting cards and other photo products from your phone camera or Instagram account. Ordering prints is a simple matter of choosing exactly the size of photo you want, from a set of photo strips to a 54-image poster, and then picking the best of your snaps. You can print photos in several unusual sizes, including 4" x 4" squares, 2" x 2" mini-squares and business-card-sized prints, as well as standard formats including 4" x 6" and 8" x 10" prints and 20" x 30" posters (probably best for owners of uber-high-megapixel phones like the iPhone 6s Plus or Samsung Galaxy S6).

Send prints anywhere in the world. (Last-minute long-distance present, anyone?) The app makes it easy to order unique frames and displays, including a reclaimed Santa Cruz block frame or multi-picture wooden and concrete displays. Price: Free at Google Play and iTunes Prints: $12 for 24 square prints; $15 for 24 4" x 6" prints; $10 for a set of nine photo strips (36 pictures); more prices at Social Print Studio Shipping: $6 by FedEx and DHL; free shipping for U.S. orders over $50 Editing capabilities: None aside from cropping or shifting pictures to fit inside the print size Best for: Interesting frames and unique prints (the mini-squares and 4" x 4" squares are particularly cute for Instagram images) FreePrints is an offshoot of online photo printing shop Photo Affections, which perhaps explains why it can offer 1,000 free 4" x 6" prints per year. This streamlined app is an easy way to print photos from your phone camera as well as Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Flickr, Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive.

One click from the home interface takes you to a photo selection page for uploading and ordering prints, which can arrive as quickly as within two days. You can order square prints for Instagram shots as well as 5" x 7", 8" x 10" and larger prints at an additional cost. If you use an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, pay for orders instantly using Apple Pay. Photos are printed on lab-quality paper from Kodak and Fujifilm, with an matte finish.

This book-sized printer from the current king of instant cameras uses the same film and printing technology as the Fujifilm Instax Mini line.

It connects via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to your smartphone, with an app for selecting and printing photos to a roll of instax mini film. The app lets you add black-and-white or sepia filters, as well as templates for text and graphics and "Real Time" details such as dates, location, time and weather. Prints have that slight vintage blur; if you're looking for fine detail, you may want to consider a desktop printer instead. The SP-1 runs on flat-cell CR-2 batteries with a lifetime of about 100 prints before the batteries need to be replaced. Prints: $17.68 for 20 sheets at Amazon Speed: 16 seconds per print Editing capabilities: Black-and-white or sepia filters in the Fujifilm app, templates for personalized text and greeting cards Best for: Printing photos on the go Printing your photos at home can not only work out cheaper, but far more convenient. If you're looking for pro-quality home prints, dedicated photo printers can handle ultra-high resolutions and fine color detail, while standard models still offer decent picture quality at an affordable price.

Forget the four-cartridge ink system on your old home printer; the Pixma iP8720 sports a six-ink system including an individual grey ink for extra-fine color and gradation in black-and-white prints. It connects over Wi-Fi as well as Google Cloud Print and Apple AirPrint, making it easy for any device to link up and print. The printer uses an Android/iOS app to select photos from a smartphone or tablet for batch printing. Print resolution goes as high as 9600 dpi with photo sizes up to 13" x 19". Prints: From $7 for 100 sheets of 4" x 6" glossy paper; $113 for a set of six ink cartridges (PDF) ($0.48 or less per print) Speed: About 35 seconds per smartphone photo, 1 minute or more for larger prints Best for: Professional-quality home photos If you simply want to print photos for personalized cards or family albums, a multifunction inkjet printer like the Envy 5660 produces good clarity and color, especially with smaller prints. It can connect to any smartphone over Wi-Fi via the HP app, while Apple AirPrint support lets you print directly from iPhones without an app.
