The image specifications for creating a template includes the following requirements:
Up to three images

Image file format

Image size (pixels) for instax™ format prints is as follows:

Size can be adjusted in the app, but processes run more smoothly when starting with an initial image of the appropriate size (listed above).

Up to three images can now be used to make a template.
These images are combined and turned into a single image when you press the "Create" button.
Once combined, they can no longer be edited individually.

The print size you selected for shooting may not be supported by the smartphone printer currently in use.
Connect to a compatible printer via the Bluetooth settings, or set a compatible size for the connected smartphone printer.

Only PNG, JPG and HEIF images are displayed.
Make sure your image is in the correct format.
If it isn't, convert it to PNG, JPG or HEIF then save it again.

From your “History”, you can select the thumbnail of a previously printed photo and reprint it.
You can print multiple copies using the '+' symbol.

To protect personal information, photo data taken with the app cannot be downloaded to your smartphone or tablet.

Disconnect the current smartphone printer and pair to another one.
When swapping between printer models: instax mini Link 3™, instax mini Link 2™, instax SQUARE Link™ and instax Link WIDE™, make sure the size of your film matches the “Print Size” settings in “Template”.

Check the ID of the connected smartphone printer (SSID: INSTAX-********) in the app with the ID on the bottom of the printer to see if they match.

Connect your smartphone/tablet via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB to transfer the image, or access it from your smartphone/tablet via the Cloud.
These steps are not required if you created a Frame Image for a template with a smartphone/tablet installed with instax Biz™.
* Make sure the image file format has not been changed from PNG.

Link series smartphone printers connect to smartphones and tablets via Bluetooth. When using instax Biz™, make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your smartphone or tablet settings.

If you are unable to connect your smartphone or tablet to your smartphone printer via Bluetooth, try disconnecting your device from the Bluetooth settings.

The example below is for iPhone.

1. Open your settings
2. Select Bluetooth

An Internet connection is required to use the following functions: Create template, Edit template, Share template, and Print results*.
* Required for counting the total number of shared template prints. If printing was done offline, the count is updated the next time you connect to the Internet.

From the homescreen, select “Shoot”, switch the button on the bottom left of the film frame to “”, and select the photo on your smartphone/tablet.

CAUTION
• Progressive JPEG images are not supported.
• If you cannot find the photo in the photos folder, make sure you have allowed access to all photos.

Only the URL can be edited after a template has been shared with another smartphone/tablet.
　To make changes, use “Duplicate as new template” to make a new version.

For the current print count, all smartphones/tablets that share the corresponding template must be connected to the Internet. QR code access is only counted for codes generated on the instax Biz™ app.

Only templates created with the instax Biz™ app you're using can be shared. “Share template” cannot be used with templates shared from other smartphones/tablets.

The film cover may not have been ejected, so the printer can't recognize the new film pack.
If the film cover doesn't come out when putting in a new film pack, open the film door again, then wait for around 5 seconds before closing it again. The film cover is ejected when the printer recognizes the new film pack. After that, the number of remaining photos will reset to 10, allowing you to resume printing normally.

Use the new "Image correction" function to adjust the brightness, contrast and saturation from the shooting or print preview screens.

The automatic correction function helps to achieve the best image quality for both your subject and frame.

Use the new "front-facing camera flip mode" to display a horizontally flipped template while shooting.
Once shooting is complete, the mode automatically flips the image back to its correct orientation.
This ensures that text appears correctly (not reversed) when using the front-facing camera, making it easier to take pictures
See here.,

Video template display is also horizontally flipped.
Be careful about using countdowns when creating a video template.
・Countdown numbers also need to be horizontally flipped to be put in a video.
・We recommend using audio or the "video recording timer" in the app instead of adding a countdown.
* Change the video recording timer in the "Settings" menu > "Video Recording Timer Settings".

After printing begins, you can start taking your next shot.
However, you cannot print another photo until the current image has finished printing.

The film door may have been opened while film was inside the printer.
As indicated by the replace film notification, insert a new film cartridge. Once the app shows 10 pictures remaining, you will be able to print normally.
