How to Order Photo Prints at Walgreens

Printing photos has never been more convenient. With the Walgreens app or website, you can turn the photos on your phone into real, physical prints that you can hold, frame, or mail to family — and pick them up at your nearest Walgreens store in as little as one hour.

Walgreens offers standard 4x6 prints (around $0.35 each), larger sizes like 5x7 and 8x10, and specialty products like photo books, canvas prints, mugs, and calendars. All products are available for in-store pickup. Many items can also be shipped directly to your home.

The most common use is ordering a set of 4x6 prints to share with family members who prefer physical photos. You choose the photos from your phone, pick your quantity and size, select your nearby Walgreens, and they're usually ready in about an hour.

You can order using the Walgreens app on your phone or by going to walgreens.com on a computer. Both options work the same way. The app tends to be easier if you're ordering from photos already on your phone.

Before placing your first order, you'll need a free Walgreens account. You can create one when you check out — all you need is an email address. If you already have a Walgreens rewards card (myWalgreens), use the same account you registered for that.

When picking up your order at the store, look for the Photo Center counter, usually near the pharmacy or the back of the store. Tell them your name and they'll retrieve your prints. Payment is usually made at pickup.

For printed photos to look their best, use photos taken with your phone's main camera in good lighting. Blurry photos or photos taken far away from the subject may look pixelated when printed at larger sizes. For 4x6 prints, almost any modern phone photo will look great.
