Print to Size

This app is perfect for resizing images to print and putting multiple images on a page. It’s super easy and intuitive to use, definitely worth the $3 it costs. Normally when I try to print a picture from my phone via wifi, it would just fill the full 8.5x11 page. So I would have to transfer my photos to my pc before printing the size I need, to fit in a frame for example. I could made it work, but I was looking for a way to resize images straight my phone to skip the extra hassle. Honestly I must have tried half a dozen free apps that just didn’t do this seemingly simple thing I needed of making images smaller, including Canon PRINT, which you’d think should have worked with my Canon printer. With some more searching, Google recommended this app for what I need. I was skeptical about spending the $3 for it without first knowing for sure if it would do what I need, after all the failed attempts with other apps that said they could but didn’t, but now having tried this one I’m glad I did. This app makes it simple and intuitive to resize images to precisely the measurement you need, as well as crop, rotate and add multiple images to a page for a collage and/or to save paper. I feel so relieved to have finally found just what I was looking for.

Update! Since the update in October, 2019, it’s been working perfectly. No more issues with sending images from drawing apps. No more issues connecting to printers. I haven’t checked to see if it still caches data. I haven’t used it enough since the update. But so far it back to five stars for me. P.s., one big reason for five stars, besides it functionality, is the responsiveness of the developer. I’ve contacted the developer twice about issues with the app since I began using it and they’ve always responded promptly, always had helpful workarounds, and always been on top of fixing the issues. I’ll start by saying I’ve used this app nearly every day for over a year. There are a few things that need fixing. Some of them are serious enough that I am looking for alternatives. First, the app caches every print job apparently. Last I looked, it was using over 9 Gb of storage. You just have to uninstall and reinstall the app to fix, so not a big deal. But still, kinda dumb. More serious are bugs that have been going on for months now. One is when I share a file from Clip Studio to Print To Size, the first try always fails and I just have a blank page. Every time, I have to go back to Clip Studio and share it with the app again before the file shows up in PTS. Then, since iPad OS release, it still does this, but also, when I print a page, then move or resize the image to print it again, the app fails to print. I hit print, and nothing happens. I have to quit the app, restart it, then re-import the image, resize, etc, then print. This is a HUGE pain! Needs to be fixed ASAP because it is basically unusable for me at this point.

I have an HP printer on the InstantInk program (which I love). There’s some things I appreciate about the HP Smart app, but I’ll never understand why they haven’t implemented being able to choose specific sizes for your photos/documents. Pinch/zoom is the only options, which basically could result in many pages having to be printed before you get it to an “appropriate” size for a frame or project. (Which on InstantInk, could end up being rather costly, and going over your allotted plan pages. I’ve searched for almost a year now for a “work-around”, and came up with nothing, until this app! It’s truly one of the most simple apps to use. Allowing one to not only crop or size their image, but also add many photos or documents to the page before printing (an option that doesn’t exist within the HP Smart app). For someone, like myself, who is allotted a certain amount of pages with the InstantInk program, this is great! For someone who doesn’t use the program, it’s a way to save on ink (which is very costly). It basically benefits anyone/everyone! I’ve never once seen an ad pop up on this app (which let’s be honest, while the App Store is full of free apps, 99% of them, either have a boat loat of ads popping up, or are constantly “begging” for a rating, review, or “add-ons for X amount of dollars”). Never have I encountered this with this app! With a clean layout, simple to use, this is the perfect app for anyone to save on ink and get exact measurements for any photo or document. Wonderful job done on this app! Love it!
