Are photo prints made from phone pictures good quality?
Yes. Modern smartphones can capture images with more than enough resolution for high-quality photo printing.
Print quality ultimately depends on the resolution and quality of the original image, the size you choose to print it and whether the image has been heavily cropped or compressed.
Picture Postie shows your image cropping during creation so you can check how your finished photo will appear before ordering.
