Artwork guidelines
Check the size, transparency, and fine detail before you order. Choose the upload route that fits your artwork.
- 01Size and layout
- Match your document to the exact sheet dimensions you select. A builder arranges individual graphics; the upload route expects a completed layout.
- 02Transparency and detail
- Inspect backgrounds, edges, small type, and fine lines at the finished print size. A white background in your file can become part of the print.
- 03File formats
- Use a format accepted by the current artwork tool. File limits differ by tool; check the limit displayed when uploading.
- 04Resolution
- Check resolution at the size you will print. Enlarging a small image does not add detail. Use the artwork calculator as a planning aid, and ask us about uncertain files.
- 05Final review
- Check size, orientation, quantity, and every graphic in the preview. Confirm whether mirroring is required for your chosen process before submitting.
- 06Your artwork
- Submit artwork you own or have permission to reproduce. Contact print support before ordering if you need help preparing a file.
ARTWORK SIZE CHECK
Will your file hold up at that size?
Calculate your image resolution at its intended print width. Start with the actual pixel width of the artwork, not the canvas around it.
300 PPI is a useful planning reference, not a guarantee of print quality. This calculator does not inspect backgrounds, fine lines, or file compatibility.
