Snap That Perfect Pic

Choose Your Best Shots

So, you've got a camera roll full of awesome snaps, but which ones make the cut? First, scroll through your photos and pick out the ones that stand out the most—those moments that spark joy (it's our little Marie Kondo moment) or tell a story. Think of those killer sunset shots, goofy selfies with friends, or that candid moment you captured at the last family BBQ. Don’t hesitate to zoom in and check for clarity; nobody wants a blurry print.

Fun fact: Picta automatically detects low-quality photos to make sure all your prints are in tip-top shape!

Once you've narrowed it down, create or add to your favorites album on your iPhone. This makes it super easy to find them later when you're ready to print on the Picta site!

Edit Like a Pro: Our Top Tips for The Best Printing Experience

Before you hit that print button, take a moment to give your photos some good ole' TLC. Editing can transform a good photo into a great one. Start with basic adjustments like brightness, contrast, and saturation. These tweaks can make colors pop and details stand out. Next, crop your image to highlight the main subject and remove any distractions. Most importantly, pay attention to resolution; higher resolution means a clearer print. If you're not sure how to get started, Apple's built-in editing tools are super intuitive. For those looking for more advanced options, apps like Snapseed and VSCO offer a range of features.
