Enlarging a picture

jeff_chandler

We've had a family bereavement and we need a photo enlarging. The picture was taken on a Samsung galaxy and when copied and pasted to word, it printed out small. How and what do i need to do to get the picture enlarged to fit a page. I will be using a laptop with the usual microsoft Office. Thanks in advance. Jeff.

In Word, just drag it to fill the page, however the quality might not be good enough to print at A4 size. Double check you also have the full resolution file from the phone, by default Google Photos only stores a lower resolution version, but the phone will have the original full resolution picture.

Upscayl might assist you, if you run it on a PC/laptop...

Word is not what you should be using to print a photo.

If taken on a Samsung Galaxy then it will be a '##.jpg' file, open it in any photo viewer/editor on the laptop and print it from there.
(Use Fit-to-page/fit-to-paper-size when printing).
The built in Windows photo viewer will do the job, personally I use 'Irfanview' (free) for all photo related viewing/printing/editing tasks. Google it and give it a try.
