Print Quality Guidelines
DPI Requirements
300 DPI is standard for professional photo prints. 240 DPI is acceptable for most viewing distances. Below 150 DPI, pixels may become visible up close.
Viewing Distance
Larger prints are viewed from farther away, so lower DPI is acceptable. A poster viewed from 6 feet can look sharp at 100 DPI, while a 4×6 photo needs 300 DPI.
Aspect Ratio
Your image aspect ratio affects what print sizes work best. 3:2 matches 4×6, 6×9, 12×18. 4:3 matches 8×10, 16×20. Cropping may be needed for other sizes.
