*Note to visitors: If you don't have a Pixagogo account and want to order prints of photos you've seen in an album you've visited, you can open a free printing account. After doing so, you can follow these steps.
Follow these steps to order prints:
From any page within your account click on the "Order Prints" tab on the upper right-hand corner. The page that will open will show an overview of all your past and current orders.
Click on "New Print Order". If you have already started on an order, you can open it or erase here, too. On the next page you'll be able to add picture to your order. There are three ways to preview your account photos to add them to the order.

If you click on the "Album" radio button and choose the name of one of your albums in the dropdown list, thumbnails of all the pictures in that album will appear in the left-hand column of the page. You can also see the pictures according to the dates they were taken or uploaded, or upload pictures directly into your print order. The photos that you upload directly into your order will also be placed in your Timeline.
After choosing the source for the pictures, you need to click on the checkboxes next to the thumbnails of the pictures you want to have printed, and click on "Add" to add them to the order. The pictures will be moved to the right-hand side of the page. You can now choose another source (album or month) and repeat the process as needed. When you're done, click on "Next".
On the next page you will be able to choose the size of your prints. In the boxes to the right of the picture's thumbnail, enter the number of copies under the appropriate size. Each image can be printed at more than one size. The color of the frame around the quantity boxes indicates the quality of the resulting print at that size. Green means the print will be of superb quality, yellow means good, and orange means poor. It is not recommended that you order prints at an orange size. Consider instead uploading a higher resolution version of that picture.
*Note: If you click on "Order Prints" in one of your album pages (i.e., while seeing the contents of an album), you will be taken directly to this page and all the photos that make up the album will show up as being part of the order. You will be able to remove any pictures you don't want to print by clicking on the icon or simply by leaving the quantity boxes for that picture blank.
The aspect ratio of a digital photo is usually not the same as that of conventional photography. It is therefore usually necessary to adjust the proportions of the image when printing on real photo paper (the paper comes in conventional sizes only). There are two ways to do this: you can choose to fill the paper with the image, in which case whatever part of the image that doesn't fit will be cropped, or you can have the image minimally reduced so that it all fits in the paper. In this case there will be white space on both sides of the image; you can cut this out later if you want. By default your pictures will be reduced so that they fit on the paper in their entirety. If you'd rather crop the picture, or if you only want to print a specific part of your image, you can change the size and position of the cropping frame by clicking on the cropping options icon by the thumbnail of the picture. You will find detailed instructions on the cropping options page.

I you want to print all your pictures on the same size paper and with the same cropping options (either reducing to fit or cropping an equal amount from both sides), simply enter the quantity for each paper size in the Quick Selection box.
CAUTION: The quantity you enter for each paper size in the Quick Selection box is the number of prints OF EACH OF THE IMAGES IN YOUR ORDER, not the total quantity of prints. If you type "5" under "9x13", you will order five 9 by 13 cm. copies of each of the pictures in your order.
After entering the quantities (and, optionally, the cropping options) enter the shipping address in the spaces provided and click on "Next".
On the following pages you will be asked to enter your payment details and you will receive a confirmation.
We hope you enjoy your Pixagogo prints!
