File upload

Applies to all Advertisement styles EXCEPT classifieds.

Minimum Resolution: 300 DPI (dots per inch) is standard for high-quality print.
Preferred Resolution: Higher resolutions are better for sharp and clear images. Aim for at least 300 DPI at the final print size.
Dimensions:

Full-Page Photos: Typically, these should be sized to fit the magazine’s full page dimensions, which often are around 8.5 x 11 inches (21.6 x 27.9 cm) or 9 x 12 inches (22.9 x 30.5 cm), but check the magazine’s specific guidelines.
Half-Page Photos: If used for half-page layouts, adjust to approximately 8.5 x 5.5 inches (21.6 x 14 cm) or similar dimensions.
Quarter-Page Photos: Often around 4.25 x 5.5 inches (10.8 x 14 cm).
Photo Format:
File Type:

Preferred Formats: TIFF (.tif) or PSD (.psd) are commonly preferred for print due to their high quality and support for layered images.
Alternative Formats: JPEG (.jpg) is acceptable, but ensure the file is saved at the highest quality setting to avoid compression artifacts.
Color Mode:

CMYK: Photos should be in CMYK color mode, as this is the color mode used for printing. RGB color mode is used for digital screens and may not translate well to print.
File Size:

Ensure the file size is large enough to maintain quality at the print size but not so large that it becomes cumbersome to manage. Typically, files should be between 5 MB and 20 MB, depending on resolution and dimensions.
Additional Tips:

Avoid Compression: Minimize the use of compression to retain image quality.
Check Magazine Specifications: Always verify the specific requirements from the magazine, as they may have particular preferences or guidelines for file submission.

By adhering to these guidelines, you’ll help ensure that your photos look professional and meet the magazine’s quality standards.
