SELPHY Photo Layout Reviews

This works exactly as I expected it to. Other reviewers have complained that you can’t edit photos with it as they seem to be under the false assumption that SELPHYPhotoLayout is a photo editing tool. It is basically a printer driver and allows you to send photos from your phone/tablet wirelessly to your Selphy printer, much in the same way you would send a Word document to an office printer. It does allow you to print multiple images to a page in various layouts, but if you want to crop or do color correction that you must do in a photo editor.

My daughter recently graduated with a doctorate in OT so I have enjoyed using this printer to print many of the great photos. However, I gave only four stars becauseI soon realized after adding more photos to my photo library on my iPhone X that the selfie app was not adding these and so I deleted SELPHYPhotoLayout and will reload it in hope that it will now have the new photos included. But surely this is something that should be fixed unless there’s a way but I couldn’t see it.

There is no way to change which pictures you want where in the photo layout For example, if you want one specific one to be big and the others to be small, there is no way for you to arrange it... SELPHYPhotoLayout decides for you, and that is extremely frustrating and useless. SELPHYPhotoLayout also decides how your pictures are cropped and rotated. I just bought my SELPHY, particularly looking forward to being able to print photos on different sizes, stickers, etc. However, I am extremely disappointed in SELPHYPhotoLayout and will now not be buying the creative kit with the sticker options.

Thank God I looked to the reviews for answers because I could not, for the life of me, get SELPHYPhotoLayout to connect to my Canon Square! It tells me “Make sure the printer is turned on”...it is. Then it says to “Get rid of the previous wireless connection if the password has changed”...it’s never been connected even once so there was never an opportunity to even create a password! (I even checked the manual to see if there was a preset password - there isn’t)🙄🙄🙄😡
PLEASE update SELPHYPhotoLayout ASAP!! Cannot use my new printer until you do.

I recently bought the canon SELPHY Qx10 photo printer. I was so excited but then I downloaded SELPHYPhotoLayout and saw that there was a limited amount of frames and stamps to choose from and then felt disappointed. If you can add more frames and stamps that would be wonderful. I would be happy to pay a small amount of money for more stamps and frames.

SELPHYPhotoLayout is making me want to slam my head through a wall. Half the time it won’t let me view my photo library. When it actually lets me… it freezes and I can’t select anything. When I try to make a layout, NO PICTURES WILL SHOW UP. What on earth?? I’ve had to uninstall/reinstall just to make it a step further in the process every time. Takes me 2 hours to manage to get one photo to print (if I’m even that lucky). Atrocious app.

Cannot get SELPHYPhotoLayout to connect to the printer, keep saying connection failed, check if the printer is turned on (it is), or if the password has been changed (it has not). Tried on both 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max and getting the same error. Tried on a iPad Pro 2nd gen with iOS 14.2 and was able to connect with no problems. Canon, please update SELPHYPhotoLayout to work with iPhone 12!

Works seamlessly when it is functioning, but it freezes often and you have to swipe out of SELPHYPhotoLayout to try again. You also have to use your “recents” album, because if you click any of the other albums in your camera roll, it shows a blank screen and SELPHYPhotoLayout freezes.

I was super excited to get this as a Christmas gift. I downloaded SELPHYPhotoLayout and followed instructions to connect the printer to my phone. Whenever I try to print it gives me an error about the connection. I tried so many times! So frustrating. I tried using my wife’s iPhone XR and sure enough, the printer connect perfectly and printed a great photo. Canon please update SELPHYPhotoLayout !!

I have been trying to connect this printer for the past week. It keeps saying I need to have the printer turned on (which it is) and that I need to reset the password if it’s not connected to WiFi (which it isn’t). There’s a grammatically incorrect sentence that keeps popping up that says, “Remove the WiFi network when the printer was registered via WiFi settings.” WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!?!? PLEASE FIX SELPHYPhotoLayout SO I CAN USE MY PRINTER OR HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT IM DOING WRONG!!

SELPHYPhotoLayout goes with a small printer. SELPHYPhotoLayout works great and is super easy to learn to use.
The printer is sturdy and portable. Works greatly! I use it to print Polaroids!

10/10 would recommend. :D

I have been downloading photos on my desktop and transferring to a SanDisk in order to insert in my Selphy for printing smaller photo sizes for my scrapbooking. SELPHYPhotoLayout works well enough so that I can print from my phone more quickly. Thank you!!

SELPHYPhotoLayout won’t connect to my iPhone 12 pro max. I can connect to my iPad, but it doesn’t always find my photos. I have to manually click each photo that I want it to access. Sometimes it won’t find the photos at all. Extremely frustrating. Returning the printer.

When I can get SELPHYPhotoLayout to actually work is wonderful. However, every time I use it, I need to delete and reinstall SELPHYPhotoLayout because it won’t recognize my photos and says cannot use this photo. It doesn’t provide an option to troubleshoot that problem either. Really annoying.

How do you sell a printer and SELPHYPhotoLayout do not work to print the photos!!!! This is insane. I have a Iphone XR, I went into SELPHYPhotoLayout to select photos and no photos is coming up for me to print.
Fix this ASAP the printer is useless if you cant print.
I have other photo printer and by far this is the worse app.

If you scroll down even once to select a picture it won’t load on the editing screen. It also will say “an error has occurred” if you try to print it when it’s not loading on the editing screen.

I just upgraded to the 2.2.0 version and my photo album does not display photos to select to print. I can access my Recents, but nothing shows up! If I can’t select photos, I can’t print anything. 🙄

I like SELPHYPhotoLayout , but since their are no editing capabilities, I’m not able to use the printer to it’s full abilities. Hopefully they will add some editing functions then I could raise my review.

Please fix SELPHYPhotoLayout. I got the canon SELPHY as a gift and I feel terrible cause I can’t even use it cause SELPHYPhotoLayout is so glitchy and slow it’s impossible to use ! How frustrating. How can you even make a product so expensive and you can’t even use it cause of SELPHYPhotoLayout!

We can’t get it to connect to our wifi. We have deleted and reinstalled several times and nothing works! It only wants to connect to a neigh or wifi and will not give e us other choices. Any help?

There are no edit options to do anything with the photos. You can’t lighten, increase color and most importantly you can zoom in/out or rotate the pics in the layouts.

I have a Selphy CP910, which has its own app. I have to install SELPHYPhotoLayout to fit more than one image on a print. Why can’t the CP910’s app do this itself? It’s inconvenient to have to use both.

I own a Canon Selphy & a Canon Pixma TS9521C. The interface for these with either IOS, Windows or Android is clumsy at best. It never seems to find the images through AirPrint like most other printers I’ve owned can. I would love the edit and preview features to work on the Selphy app so I don’t waste pictures that are improperly cropped. I love the speed and print quality of the Canon Selphy but the user interface has a looong way to go! I’m removing SELPHYPhotoLayout to reinstall a second time!

Thank you Canon for this upgrade! My Canon 900 now works with the new updates! Worth waiting for this update. 5🎖 #canonselphy #iphone8+ #ipadpro

SELPHYPhotoLayout freezes after printing one picture. I keep having to restart the printer every time I want to print something.

Sometimes can use photo and sometimes cannot, very annoying! Don’t even know why SELPHYPhotoLayout exists, why can’t they just put this in the SELPHY app???

It won’t let me upload ANY PICTURE. Whether I took with my phone or I took with my Nikon and downloaded to my phone. I CANT PRINT ANYTHING! That’s the whole point of me spending $150 for the dang thing!
