10 Reviews: Best Portable Photo Printers (May 2023)

This handy printer gives you even more reasons to smile by letting you edit, print, and share your memories in the blink of an eye. Its unique slide-open design without a single button makes this printer simple and easy to use. Add filters, adjust lighting, crop, and apply other effects before printing to frame your memory nicely.

When I bought this little printer, I was scared I would be throwing $100 away, but after getting it for my daughter for Christmas, It was a really good decision to buy it. You never have to worry about buying ink because the picture paper is the ink, portable, and very easy to sync to your phone. My daughter has printed over 50 pictures since Christmas and it continues to print perfectly.

Canon SELPHY QX10 comes with a combination of white and pastel colors that are sweet and chic. It produces high-quality and fast-drying photos with a square paper measuring 2.7 x 2.7 inches that is tear and water-resistant with a sticky back. Your purchase comes with the requisite ink packs so there’s nothing else to buy.

I did quite a bit of research on these mini sized printers and ended up choosing this one because the print quality seemed to be the best. I’m not disappointed, it’s very good! The app interface is straightforward as well. No complaints!

Your vacation will be much more enjoyable with this Fujifilm Instax Mini Link. It allows you to connect up to five devices to print a photo collage with a wide variety of filters and stickers. It comes in three flattering colors: dusky pink, dark denim, and ash white. Its sleek and light body design doesn’t need much space in your handbag so it can accompany you wherever you go.

I bought this printer for myself because I adore my mini polaroids. Totally worth every penny. I have been printing like a maniac for my album and journal. It is great because you can print out those pictures on your phone and the quality is amazing. The app allows you to play with the colors and quality and the printing process is super easy and quick. Also easy to connect to your phone.

Great news! You can print live photos from Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram with this Lifeprint Slim Photo and Video Printer.

The coolest thing about this printer is that your photos can move when you scan them with its mobile app. Your lovable memories will come alive with this feature.

Capture every moment of your journey with this sleek and portable printer. The Canon Ivy Mini allows your device to connect via Bluetooth and the free Canon mini print app to print your favorite photos. Weighing just 0.35 pounds you can even stash it into your pocket. With a peel-and-stick back photo paper, it supports your journaling on the go.

I shopped around for a while deciding on what portable printer to get. I like to journal when I travel, and have always wanted to be able to add photo's to my journal while I am in the process of writing, rather than adding after the fact. This does a great job, the quality of the print is quite good, and it's very easy to use. I am very happy with this purchase.

Canon Selphy CP1300 is arguably superior in all aspects. The sleek, portable design allows you to share your memories wherever you are. Not only print instantly, but your photos will also stay perfectly preserved for 100 years and even water-resistant. As for connectivity, it can e connected to WiFi, USB, or your camera’s memory card Plus, it has a 3.2 inches LCD screen for easy sorting, editing, and printing.

To be honest, I doubted the quality of the picture simply due to the low price point. But I was blown away by how quick and easy it was to use the printer. The optional smartphone app offered by Canon works like a charm. Very simple setup, excellent image quality and very compatible app. I except nothing more from a wireless compact photo printer at this price point. Perfect gift/tool for sharing memories with family and friends.

HP is not a new brand in the printing world. So don’t be surprised if the HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer comes with impressive features. Not only is it easy to operate and works fast, but HP also provides sticky-backed photo paper that lets you stick your memories wherever you want. You can connect multiple devices at the same time.

A fun little product. No ink needed. Easily portable and I love that the photo paper can become stickers. I use this to print pictures off my phone when I’m traveling and put them in my journal. It holds a long charge as well I printed maybe three images in the span of three weeks without needing a top off charge.

The mini and pocket-sized Polaroid Zip Mobile Printer is the best travel companion for capturing every moment of your life. Download the free app that is compatible with Android and iOS in less than 60 seconds and unleashes your creativity to edit photos. Tons of filters, stickers, and borders will take your memories to the next level.

This is fun and compact photo printer. I love that the prints look like the old polaroid photos ( grainy, moody, and vintage looking). I was able to link it to my phone very easily and it prints in no time. There are different filters, fun symbols and borders you can add to your image before you print as well. An extra bonus is that you can also shoot and print as well ( it acts like a camera). Well worth the price.

The Fujifilm INSTAX Share SP-2 Mobile Printer is a must-have item for every trip. This printer produces photos with high-resolution images so you won’t lose any details. Best of all, it only takes ten seconds to transform your memories into physical form. Regarding connectivity, you can rely on your WiFi.

I love this little printer! It is much more convenient that carrying around an actual instant camera! I get very nice pictures without the worry of wasting the expensive instant film. I love having the ability to print photos on the go for other people and I love having an actual photo album of these pictures because now-a-days everyone just keeps digital copies on SD cards and flash drives that will never see the light of day again.

Kodak came up with their Mini 2 variant which immediately became a favorite of many users. At 8.3 ounces, this printer lets you print 2.1 x 3.4 inches photos wirelessly. Not only iOS, but this product is also compatible with Android via Bluetooth. In addition, Kodak claims that your memories can maintain its quality for the next ten years.

I really like how you have the choice of several different ways to print images out with this device. You can either just tap your device to the printer in order for your image to print, or, if you're further away, you can just use bluetooth to print it out. Either way, the print comes out fast and the final product is really nice!
