I want to order a print of one of my images. I've never done that before. The image is square, as you can see. I've looked at several on-line photo printing sites, but they either don't print square images without cropping them, or not at 12" x 12", or not any size square.

Will the a 12" x 12" print made from the attached image look pretty much like it does on a monitor? In other words, does it have the image specifications necessary to make a good 12" x 12" print?

Any ideas whether I should ask for canvas, glossy, or matte?

Suggestions of where I can have that done?

I guess I need help adding my photo. I can't seem to get it done.

If the file has the pixel resolution and is already cropped to a square, https://www.printique.com/ will print 12x12in

Create a 12 x 16 picture with 4 inches of white space at the bottom.

Costco does 12x12 prints.
If you are sending them a 12x12 aspect ratio image, I always send the largest file I have. They adjust if necessary.
(No image in your post. did you wait for it to upload and display the preview before clicking "Send"?)

Canvas, glossy, matte - Your preference.
Crispest is glossy, canvas the least.

I’m guessing Bay Photo will do 12x12. Easier to order and you can see all their options and prices if you download their ROES Ap. BTW, you save a substantial amount if you have a calibrated workflow and don’t get them to color correct.

Order placed. Thank you. I can't believe how inexpensive it is.

I'll try them also with a different image.

They used to be Adorama Pix (like the NYC Camera Store). I do my printing with them. Glad to help.

Nations photo does squares, as does Roberts. I’ve had both do them for me. I probably like Roberts a little better.

Look in your area for a custom photo shop and take your photos to them. They will do whatever you want. Dallas used to have two, The Color Place and BWC Photolabs. Now we're down to just BWC Photolabs. These are the places that do specialized photo work for ad agencies, etc. However, they also do print work for just the average guy and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. That's why I used to have all my film developed there.

F.Y.I.-- I just had a image Printed in 12x12 Canvas from "Easy Canvas Prints", in Texas, my cost was $9.99 + Shipping to Michigan. I am very impressed with the Quality and Framing of this 12x12 Canvas Print, I recieved it much sooner than I expected to, by UPS, at my Front Door.

The 1 to 1 ratio is called "normal" in frame size settings. It can of course scale up to 12 by 12 inches. You may have to call the printer company to obtain your desired print size.

I needed a 14 X 16 color print in a hurry one day for a Photoshop job and went to a Walgreens and it was a surprisingly good print. Same machine as Walmart.............
Not all Walgreens in my area have the larger size prints but all do prints.
