What Mega Pixels?

We often get asked about this alot! Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, and email are great ways to share photos, but at some point you’ll probably want to make a print of that image.

Whether you print it at home with your desktop printer, send to an online service, or go to a commercial printer, you’re going to have to size your image correctly! Hopefully the chart below will clarify things a bit 🙂

Never use software to force the resolution of the file larger. This does not improve quality. What I mean here is that you open a 2 megapixel image and use software such as Photoshop and “Scale” it to 10 megapixel!!! All this would do is create a blurry mess.

When choosing images for your print campaigns, ensure you have the best quality. This will reflect on your image as well!
