Order prints

Version 2 · Last updated 10 November 2026

Livo makes the files a print shop takes. You choose where to print them: a kiosk, a print service’s app, or the printer at home. Plain print-size photos are free; the names strip, the book, the poster and Order prints are part of Livo Plus.

What print services take

Photo kiosks, drugstore photo counters and the online print services all take ordinary JPEG files for prints, and most take a PDF for a book or a poster. Livo makes those files at full print size, names them so you can tell them apart, and hands them to the share sheet. From there: Save to Files and upload them to the service’s website, AirDrop them to a Mac, or send them straight into a print service’s app if you have one installed. Livo never sends anything anywhere on its own, and has no print partner; you keep the choice.

Print-size photos

From a gift’s Your gift is ready screen, under Order prints: Print-size photos gives the Memory’s photos as full-size JPEGs, numbered in order and named for who is in them, in a folder called “For … - prints”. Print-size photos with the names (Livo Plus) adds a white strip under each photo that reads, for example, “Anna and Laurie · November 2019”, so the print says who it is without writing on the back. Both are what a kiosk wants for 4 × 6 and 5 × 7 prints. The names, story and place are written into each file as well, as in every Livo export.

The gift book

Also on Your gift is ready, with Livo Plus: The gift book, an 8 × 8 inch square PDF with the dedication on the cover, a page per photo with the names and the month under each, the story, and a back page listing everyone in the book. A folder of page pictures comes with it, for services that want images rather than a PDF. The PDF is sealed into the gift itself, so whoever receives it can print it too, and it can be pulled out again any time from the gift’s screen in Capsules.

A poster

A collage poster (Livo Plus) lays the Memory’s photos out as one 16 × 20 inch picture, for a frame or a print service’s poster size.

A book from any Memories and pages

In Memory Lane, tap the book button on the top row to open Order prints (Livo Plus). Give the book a title and a few words for the cover; then Add the Memories, Scrapbook pages and Collage pages you want, and put them in order with Edit (drag to reorder, minus to take one out). A Memory contributes a page per photo with the names and month under each; a Scrapbook page or a Collage page contributes itself, drawn at print size exactly as you laid it out. A scrapbook of many pages is simply several Scrapbook pages, in the order you choose. Make the book shows a progress bar and Stop; then the share sheet opens with the PDF (“ - the book.pdf”) and the folder of page pictures. After the share sheet, <strong>Save the pages to Photos</strong> puts the page pictures in an album named for the book, if you want them there. The book is not stored in Livo; your Memories and pages are the source, and it is made again whenever you ask.</p> <h2>Room and time</h2> <p>Making print files pulls the full-size photos first, over Wi-Fi when they are in iCloud, so a book of forty photos takes a minute or two. Every one of these jobs shows its progress and can be stopped, and stopping leaves nothing behind.</p> <nav class="pager" aria-label="More topics"> <a class="prev" href="/guide/making-a-gift.html"><small>← Previous</small>Making a gift</a> <a class="next" href="/guide/keeping-capsules-safe.html"><small>Next →</small>Keeping capsules safe</a> </nav> </div> </main> <footer class="site"> <div class="wrap"> <span>© 2026 Livo Enterprises LLC · Technology for living well</span> <span><a href="/guide/">Guide</a>   <a href="/support.html">Support</a>   <a href="/privacy.html">Privacy</a>   <a href="/feed.xml">RSS</a>   <a href="mailto:support@livoenterprises.com">Contact</a></span> </div> </footer> </body> </html>
