Question

What file quality or resolution should I upload for printing to avoid blurry images?

Answer

Blurry prints usually come from low-resolution files. Upload high-resolution artwork at 300 DPI or higher, built at the same size as your finished product, in a format suited to your product.

ResolutionResult
300 DPI or greaterRecommended, sharp and clean
100 to 299 DPIWill print, but softer than ideal
Below 100 DPIMay look pixelated and can delay the order
  • Upload high-resolution files rather than small or compressed ones.
  • Use a format that fits your specific product.
  • If a file comes in low, sign in and use the Upload button on the order to send a higher-resolution version before production.
  • If you are unsure of the specs, contact support with your product and quantity.
  • The team can advise on the correct file type and size for a clean print.

Sharing your product and quantity lets support point you to the exact resolution that will look crisp at your print size.
