Need a Resolution Boost?

If your file falls below our recommended 300 DPI, we may not be able to print it as-is — but there's a fix. We use Topaz AI, one of the most advanced image upscaling tools available, to recover detail and bring files up to printable resolution. If we catch a resolution issue during our file review, we'll reach out and ask your permission before making any changes.

Why Print Size Matters More Than Most Artists Realize

You spent hours — maybe days — creating a piece of art you're proud of. You upload it to a print shop, pick a size that looks right, and place the order. Then the print arrives and something feels off. The edges are softer than they should be. The detail you worked so hard on looks muddy. The colors are there but the crispness isn't.

This happens more than it should, and almost every time the cause is the same: the image resolution wasn't high enough for the print size chosen.

Resolution isn't just a technical detail — it's what separates a print worth selling from one worth hiding.

When a print shop scales your image to fill a 16x20 inch canvas and your file doesn't have enough pixels to support it, the printer has to stretch what's there. It fills in the gaps by guessing. The result is a print that looks fine at arm's length on a screen but soft and unconvincing on a wall.

The number that matters is DPI — dots per inch. At 300 DPI, your print will look sharp and detailed up close. At 200 DPI, most sizes still look excellent. Below that, you start to see the difference, especially on smaller prints where viewers get close.

Aspect ratio is the other thing most artists overlook.

Every print size has a shape. A 4x6 is a different shape than a 5x7, which is a different shape than an 8x10. If your image doesn't match that shape, something has to give — either the print shop crops into your composition, or you end up with white borders where you didn't want them. Neither is ideal when you're selling art.

The fit percentage in this tool tells you exactly how close your image ratio is to each print size. A 100% fit means your image drops straight in with no cropping. Anything above 88% is a good working match. Below that, you'll likely lose part of your composition.

Selling prints is already hard enough without a technical mistake derailing your reputation.

Buyers who receive a pixelated print don't always complain — they just don't come back. And if they do complain, you're eating the cost of a reprint and the shipping. Running every image through this tool before you list a product takes thirty seconds and removes that risk entirely.

Know your sizes before you print. Your art — and your buyers — deserve nothing less.

Frequently Asked

Print Size & Resolution Questions

Everything artists, photographers, and designers ask before placing a print order.

What DPI do I need to print a high-quality image?

For the sharpest results, your image should be at least 300 DPI at the size you want to print. At 300 DPI, fine details, text, and textures reproduce crisply. Most prints still look excellent at 200 DPI — especially larger sizes like 11x17 and up, where viewers stand back from the print. Below 200 DPI, you'll start to see softness and pixelation, particularly on smaller prints viewed up close.

Can you print my image if it's below 300 DPI?

Often, yes. If your file falls below our recommended resolution, we use Topaz AI — one of the most advanced image upscaling tools available — to recover detail and bring the file up to printable quality. If we catch a resolution issue during file review, we'll reach out and ask your permission before making any changes. You stay in control of what gets printed.

Why does my print look soft or pixelated?

The most common cause is insufficient resolution for the print size. When a printer scales your image to fill a larger canvas than the file actually supports, it fills in the missing pixels by guessing — and the result is softness, especially around edges and fine detail. Running your image through the Print Size Calculator before ordering shows you exactly which sizes your file can handle at 200 DPI or better, so you never have to guess.

What file types does the Print Size Calculator accept?

The calculator reads JPG, PNG, TIFF, and WebP files. It checks your image dimensions instantly in your browser — no account needed and nothing is uploaded to a server. The tool simply reads the pixel dimensions of your file and compares them against every print size we offer.

Is my image uploaded to a server when I use the calculator?

No. The Print Size Calculator runs entirely in your browser. Your file is read locally to check its dimensions, and nothing is sent to Printkeg or any third party. We built it this way because your artwork is your business — privacy isn't a feature, it's the baseline.

What's the difference between aspect ratio and DPI?

DPI (dots per inch) tells you how sharp your print will look — it's about resolution and detail. Aspect ratio is the shape of your image, like 2:3, 4:5, or 1:1 (square). DPI determines whether your print looks crisp; aspect ratio determines whether your composition gets cropped to fit the print size. The fit percentage in our calculator shows how closely your image's ratio matches each available size — 100% means no cropping, and anything above 88% is still a good working match.

What's the best print size to sell as an artist or photographer?

8x10 inches is the most popular entry-level art print size — it fits standard frames, ships easily, and hits a price point that converts well at markets and online. For photographers shooting on DSLR or mirrorless cameras, 8x12 inches is the natural choice because it matches the native 2:3 ratio of the sensor with zero cropping. Larger sizes like 16x20 and 18x24 command higher prices and work as gallery centerpieces. Square format artists (Instagram-era illustrators, album-cover photographers) typically lead with 8x8 or 12x12.
