Use These Online Photo Printing Sites And Apps To Make Beautiful, Personalized Gifts For The Fam

You may already be familiar with Minted—the site that’s best known for their absolutely stunning holiday cards (and stationary for just about every occasion out there). Minted also makes photo art gifts that are designed by an array of independent artists, featuring foil-pressed designs that are almost completely customizable with your own personal photos. Creating them is easy—you just upload all of the photos you want to work with and place them into the desired photo art design. They also have paper goods that feature family photos in several different printing options—from birth announcements to birthday invitations. 

Vistaprint is one of those sites where you can buy quality printing products for very reasonable prices—and they have so many different options to choose from. They have everything from canvas prints, mugs and calendars to holiday cards, pillows and even tote bags—and all products can have custom printing or personalization, which is pretty cool. They even have photo puzzles that you can send to loved ones.

Chatbooks not only allows you to create custom photo art through their user-friendly app, but it also serves as a fun activity for the entire family. Their entire concept circles around scrapbooking, but gives it a digital makeover. Too often families don’t set aside the time and energy to create physical copies of their photos and just rely on their digital devices and social media to house all of their memories. But there’s an easier way—with Chatbooks. At just $10 for 30 pages, and an easy-to-use template for creating photo books, it’s a total no brainer. 

With the Motif app, you can create custom, high-quality photo books in a matter of minutes, thanks to their auto-flow technology which pulls only the best photos from your existing library (no dupes, no blurry pics, etc.). The app syncs directly with the photo library on your smartphone or electronic device so there’s no need to upload your photos to anything or to create entirely new albums—you can just use the existing ones you already have. Easy, easy. You can also choose from beautiful themes and add personalized text throughout the book.

Creating photo books is a one-two step with Papier’s easy-to-use layouts. You can choose between three of their basic sizes—The Mini, The Minimalist and The Large Minimalist—and from there totally customize each photobook with your personalized gems. Each photobook is hardback and printed on Mohawk Superfine paper so that it has the look and quality that you and your family deserve. You can also add in extra pages for $3 each.

Talk about options! Artifact Uprising sells every kind of printing option you can imagine—including photo and non-photo options as well. You can choose between their photo books, regular prints, frames, desk calendars, cards and gift-oriented items to create compilations of your family memories to treasure for years to come. Their photo books and albums alone have what feels like endless options, including layflat photo albums, hard and softcover photo books, Instagram-friendly books and baby board books. 

Parabo Press makes bringing your digital photo files to life so much easier than you probably fear it to be. And they provide so many printing options for you to choose from, including photo books and single-image prints to photo greeting cards and total works of art for you to display in your home. What’s more: their tiny square prints start at just $5! 

If you’re looking to have your digital images printed and framed, Framebridge is a great option (hence the name). They make the process pretty seamless—you choose a frame that you like, upload a photo or send them a file of your artwork (if that’s your thing) and then it’s built and shipped right to you (hand assembly for free!).
