What is a square photo print?
Square photo prints are photographs with a 1:1 ratio in size, in the shape of a square. They’re popular because they’re the same shape as images posted on social media, like Instagram - meaning you can keep physical copies of your favourite memories!

At Max Spielmann, square photo prints come in 3 main sizes - 4x4”, 5x5” and 6x6”. All are always a 1:1 ratio, meaning your prints will always come as a perfect square.

What paper will my square photos be printed on?
We understand it’s more than just a photo, it’s your precious memories we’re printing. All square photo prints (and glossy photo prints, lustre photo prints and retro photo prints) are printed on high-quality 220gsm Fuji photo paper with premium inks, ensuring you always enjoy a beautiful, professional and long-lasting finish.
Photo enlargements, such as poster printing and photo banners, are printed on thicker, professional-grade 260gsm photo paper.
Can I order black and white photo prints?
Yes, so long as the original image you upload is already black and white. You are currently unable to edit colours and add filters to photos directly in our online photo printing builder, so you’ll need to make sure the photo is already black & white before uploading online.
If you’re taking photos on a film camera, we can also develop your black-and-photos either in stores or online. You can find out more about our film processing services here.
Do you offer matte photo prints?
No, we don’t currently offer full matte photo prints. However, our lustre photo prints feature a gorgeous matte-like finish that’s not as shiny or reflective as our standard glossy photo prints. Lustre prints are definitely the best option for those looking for a matte finish!
Which is better - lustre or glossy photo prints?
Glossy and lustre photo prints are both fantastic photo printing options, so your choice depends on the look, feel and finish you really want from your prints.
Glossy photo prints are the more popular choice. These are our standard photo prints, and feature a smoother, sleeker and shinier finish that brings photos to life in stunning detail and vibrant colour. Lustre photo prints are slightly more subtle, offering similar details and colour to a full gloss print, but without any reflective glare or smudgy fingerprint marks.
Whether you’re framing, scrapbooking or sharing your prints, there are advantages to both photo printing styles here.
Can I order square photos straight from my phone?
Of course! Ordering photo prints from your phone, tablet or computer is super-duper easy. You can quickly upload photos straight from your camera roll, or even add photos directly from your Facebook, Instagram, Google Drive and OneDrive accounts!
Photo printing is even easier on our mobile app, which is now available to download on both iOS and Android. This is the fastest, easiest way for you to print all the amazing photos you’ve got saved on your phone - and you can get 10% off your first app order by using code APP10 at the checkout!
Can I add a border to my square photos before I print?
No, most photo print sizes don’t include a border, and you aren’t able to add borders when ordering your prints. However, 7x5” photo prints which are collected in-store (and not home delivered) may come with a white border by default.
Can I edit my square photos before ordering?
Yes, you can crop photos and change the photo orientation directly in our online photo printing builder. All other edits (such as adding filters, turning photos black & white, and adding effects) would all need to be done before you upload your photos, as our printing builder is unable to make these edits for you.
Can I add text or clip art to my images?
You can add custom text to retro photo prints and framed photo prints, but this isn’t an option for any of our other standard photo prints. Adding clip art animations also isn’t an option in our photo printing builder, so these would need to be added to your photos separately before you upload them online.
