Welcome to the HP English Community --

There are several reasons an image / photo does not print to Scale.

For example,

• Mobile apps might print the photo at or near the size of the paper used for the print job.
• HP Smart (Windows) uses a "Crop" or "Shrink to Fit" algorithm, neither of which will print the photo at its exact scale / size.
• If the shape of the original photo does not match the shape of the paper, the photo boundaries must be edited or the photo must be forced onto the paper -- forcing the change of shape can change the content.

IF you are running a supported version of Windows,

If you want to print the 5x7 inch photo at its original scale / shape

Print the photo as 5x7 inches on a larger sheet of paper -

Cut the printed photo from the larger paper.

General Example - HP Smart - Windows - Photo on larger paper

HP_Smart_Win_Simple_Photo_Print_Letter_4x6_3

Example - Print Pictures - Print one or more photos (same or different) at selected size on one or more sheets of paper
