How to Print Google Photos

This How.com.vn will show you how to order prints from Google Photos or how to print them with your printer. Whether you have the Google Photos app on your phone/tablet or you are using a web browser to access Google Photos, you can order prints of photos you have (pickup at CVS or Walmart within the US only) or you can download your photos and print them yourself.

Things You Should Know

The easiest way to print photos from Google is to order photo prints, canvas prints, or a photo book directly from the Google Photos app or website.
When you place your order, you'll be given a list of nearby locations where you can pick up your prints when they're ready.
If you'd prefer a quick, inexpensive option, download individual pictures from Google Photos and print them at home.
