What file specifications do you recommend for the best quality print?
Getting a high-quality print is easier than you'd think!
File Type
- We only accept JPG and PNG image files.
- Avoid PNG files with transparent layers (transparency will not render correctly in the site preview, since our prints are opaque.)
- Please make sure the file is RGB, sRGB, Adobe RGB (or any type of RGB) color profile. This is the default for most cameras.
- Do not use CMYK profiled images, since they may print differently than expected.
File Resolution (Quality)
For best results, you'll want to be sure to upload the original, high-resolution photo file. Our site will let you know automatically if the uploaded file is too small to print clearly at a given size.!
Below are the minimum pixel dimensions required from an image to produce a clear print at each size:
RECTANGLE PRINTS (Portrait or Landscape):
Size | Print Dimensions (inches) | Minimum Pixel Dimensions |
Extra Small | 4.8" x 6.4" | 240 x 320 px |
Small | 7.2" x 9.6" | 360 x 480 px |
Medium | 10.8" x 14.4" | 540 x 720 px |
Large | 15.6" x 20.8" | 780 x 1040 px |
Extra Large | 21.6" x 28.8" | 1080 x 1440 px |
SQUARE PRINTS:
Size | Print Dimensions (inches) | Minimum Pixel Dimensions |
Small | 5" x 5" | 250 x 250 px |
Medium | 11" x 11" | 550 x 550 px |
Large | 23" x 23" | 1150 x 1150 px |
If you'd like to double-check the pixel dimensions of your image, you can view your image file's 'Properties' from your computer (or use 'Get Info' on Mac).
