Adequate file size depends on multiple factors, including the type of product you are ordering. Larger/higher quality files will produce higher quality prints. JPG file sizes will vary based on the complexity of the image.
For best results, we recommend using images with a minimum of 100 dpi on most products. For larger prints, 300 dpi is preferred to maintain the best quality.
Below is a chart indicating our digital file recommendations. File sizes listed are based on an average image with minimal compression. Smaller files may produce acceptable image quality.
