Tips for submitting images suitable for printing:
- Select original image files from a digital camera, smartphone, or scanner. Don't use screenshots or photos from Facebook or a website – they won't print clearly.
- Image dimensions and file size: Print-quality images are at least 1,500 to 2,000 pixels on their longest side. As a quick rule of thumb, files over 1 MB are usually fine for print, while files under 500 KB are too small.
- Need to scan old photos? Use your smartphone or a scanner. For scanners, set the resolution to 300 DPI or higher, and save image files as maximum-quality jpg files.
