Question

What file resolution and size do I need for my order?

Answer

For crisp printed results, build files at the final product size and save them at a high resolution.

  • Use 300 DPI (dots per inch) or higher at the actual print size.
  • Create the document at the finished dimensions rather than scaling a small file up.
  • Avoid enlarging low-resolution web images (72 DPI), which print soft or pixelated.

If a file falls below spec, re-export at full resolution instead of upscaling.
