You can control who can order prints of your photos. By default only you can print your photos.
If you set your preferences to allow another Flickr member to print your photos, the "Order Prints" option will appear when that member looks at your photos.
The Print Preferences page is here.
Step 1 is to tell Flickr where you are in the world.
If you have a credit card billing address in the U.S., you can buy prints via the Flickr website. You'll see an "Order Prints" option on any photo you have permission to print, and also an option to print a whole set at a time (if you have permission).
If you aren't based in the U.S. you still have options!
Even if you don't live in the U.S., you can give Flickr members in the U.S. permission to buy prints of your photos. (Maybe you have a long-lost sister in the U.S., but you live in Australia -- let her print your photos!)
We're sorry. We really are. But, the U.S. release is just the first step, so please rest assured, we are working as fast as we can to add printing partners worldwide. If you know any good ones where you live, drop us a line.
Our international members can still order physical copies of their photos from our other service partners like QOOP, which offers a variety of formats such as posters and photobooks. Do more with your photos!
Note: Target deliveries are only available in the U.S.
We provide two options: Pick up at a Target store or delivery by mail. Part of the ordering process is choosing the method you want to use.
Mail delivery is a bit cheaper, if you can stand the wait!
Note: Target deliveries are only available in the U.S.
When you go to the shopping cart to complete your order, you'll see a "Select a Target store for Pickup" link when you choose how you want your photos delivered. Click the store locator widget to find the store closest to you. You can also find Target stores by address or ZIP code on Target's site.
We try to make sure that your prints are going to look nice, so as you choose photos to print, we try to present the best options for you, based on the photo's size and resolution.
There are minimum resolutions we recommend for the products that you can buy. Here's the list:
| Size | Min. Resolution |
| Wallet Prints (x4) | 525x375 |
| 4x6" | 900x600 |
| 5x7" | 1050x750 |
| 8x10" | 1500x1200 |
| 20x30" | 1600x1200 |
| 5x5 square | 750x750 |
| 4xD (digital aspect) | 900x600 |
| 5xD (digital aspect) | 1050x750 |
| 8xD (digital aspect) | 1500x1200 |
When you see the contents of your shopping cart, click the thumbnail version of a photo. A new window will pop up displaying a larger version.
The aspect ratio (length:width) is different for most digital pictures from the 4x6 ratio that is used to print many photos. Most photo finishers will automatically crop your photo.
Or you can order our 4xD, 5xD, or 8xD prints, which are optimized for digital images. One thing to be careful of, however, is that these photo sizes may not fit in some photo frames or albums.
QOOP is a Flickr partner that can provide answers to all your questions relating to the QOOP web site or any orders you place with them.
The QOOP+Flickr site has a really comprehensive FAQ, where you should be able to get the answer you're looking for.
