Despite how good modern cameras are these days, there’s something to be cherished about those vintage classic Polaroid photos we remember from our childhood. Digital photos are convenient, but one thing we often forget to do is transfer those digital memories onto print. If you’e anything like me, you likely have tens of thousands of photos stored on your phone, but very little on print. Today I’m going to share with you just how easy it is to turn your digital images and favorite Instagram photos into classic Polaroid prints!
Vintage photos are so on trend right now with endless options for retro filters and vintage presets that can instantly transform your photos from modern to classic pieces.
Polaroids will always be a favorite for this very reason. You can take a photo and within minutes have a classic vintage photo in hand. Instant gratification at its finest!
We’ve all had the pleasure of shooting with a classic Polaroid camera, but allow me to introduce you to the next best thing: the Polaroid Lab!
With the Polaroid Lab, you can turn any photo from your smartphone into a Polaroid print. I’ll explain how.

Well talk about an amazing idea for a Christmas gift, that’s for sure! I’m thinking of getting this for my husband now. I love the idea of being able to conveniently print any photo from your phone into an “instant film” version! So cool!
