What is resolution?

Resolution refers to how sharp and clear an image looks. Digital images are made up of small, coloured dots called pixels. The number of pixels determines how detailed the image is.

Low resolution: The pixels are more visible, making the image seem blurry or pixelated.
High resolution: The pixels are small and close together, so they make a crisp and clear image.

What resolution should I upload?

For the best print quality, upload images that are 300 dpi at the size you want them to print. Images with a lower dpi may appear blurry or pixelated when printed.

If you have a vector file (such as a logo), use that whenever possible. Vector files can be resized to any size without losing quality because they aren’t made of pixels.

How do I know if my image has sufficient resolution?

If your image looks blurry or pixelated when you zoom in, it will likely print that way too. Images from social media, websites or screenshots often have a resolution that’s too low for printing.

File size can also be a helpful clue: very small files are more likely to be low resolution, while larger files (several MB) are more likely to be suitable for printing. However, file size alone doesn’t guarantee good print quality.
