What size photos should I use?
In order to produce a good print, your digital images need to meet or exceed our minimum recommended sizes listed below. When possible, you should use full resolution, original, uncompressed images. If your image does not meet the minimum recommended size for the size or format you are trying to print, an exclamation mark will appear on the image to alert you.
Image sizes referenced below are measured in pixels - this is measuring the dimensions (H x W) of your image. The size in kilobytes/megabytes/gigabytes is irrelevant as it measures the amount of disk space occupied by the file rather than the dimensions of the image.
To find the image size in pixels:
- Windows - right click the file, select
Properties
, and click theDetails
tab. - macOS - right click (or hold
Control
