Photo Requirements & Quality
For the best print quality, your photos should meet these requirements:
- File size: At least 1MB per photo (3-5MB recommended)
- Resolution: 1500 x 1500 pixels minimum (2400+ ideal)
- Format: JPG or PNG files
- Quality: Clear, in-focus, well-lit photos
- Source: Original photos from your camera or phone (not screenshots)
Quick test: Zoom in on the photo on your phone. If it looks clear when zoomed, it will print beautifully!
For complete guidelines and tips, visit our Photo Requirements page.
Phone photos: Yes! Modern smartphones (iPhone 8+, Samsung Galaxy S8+, or any phone from 2017 or newer) take excellent high-resolution photos that print beautifully.
Old physical photos: Absolutely! We love helping preserve precious memories. For best results:

- Use a flatbed scanner (not a document feeder)
- Or take a high-quality photo of the photo in good lighting
- Consider professional scanning services for very precious or fragile photos
