As young adults turn to analog to unplug, Polaroid launches new Hi-Print photo printer to give digital photos life beyond a screen.
Polaroid’s new Hi-Print 3×3 photo printer lets you print, personalize, frame and display your favourite photos.
2026 is being called the “year of analog”, as young people actively seek ways to unplug and reclaim time away from their screens. With two-thirds of 18–34-year-olds reporting they’ve turned to analog products to cut down on device use*, the shift back to “real” is well underway.
Building on this return to the tangible, Polaroid’s new Hi-Print 3x3 photo printer lets people bring their digital photos into the real world. The printer turns favorite phone shots into customizable, iconic square prints. Doubling up as a photo frame, it can slot people favourite's print and always have it on show. And with frames, stickers, and templates, each print is fully customizable, perfect for journaling, decorating, gifting, or sharing with friends.
People have so many meaningful memories and momentos captured on their phones: photos, screenshots, conversations, notes, and they're just sitting there, locked inside a device. We wanted to give them more life, make it so you can hold and display them, really live with them. The Hi-Print 3x3 was built around exactly that. It's a completely new design for us, a printer that's also a display frame, so your favorite moments can sit on your desk, be passed to someone you love, or change with your mood. There's nothing else like it out there.
