Photo Printing & Digital Uploads

What size can I print my photo?

Easy version:
  • Smartphone photos*: Often perfect for sizes 36 inches or larger.
  • Professional camera photos: 54 inches or larger

You can also e-mail us the files or use this link photato.wetransfer.com, we are more than happy to check the file for you before order.

*Just make sure the original size file is being uploaded. Files from Facebook or WhatsApp (sent HD enabled is good) are often compressed.

Long version:
  • Print size in 10 inches range, recommended resolution ~2000 x 1300 pixels
  • 20 inches range, ~3000 x 2000 pixels
  • 30 inches range, ~3600 x 2400 pixels
  • 40 inches range, ~4000 x 2400 pixels
