This article explains why your image may appear blurry or pixelated and provides guidance on how to resolve these issues for optimal printing results.

We recommend uploading high-resolution files with a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Read more about image quality.

To ensure the best printing result, use a design file with a resolution between 150 to 300 DPI. While images above 300 DPI are still accepted and marked as "Good DPI" in the design editor, the optimal resolution for most printing processes is 300 DPI. Staying within this range ensures your prints will be of the highest quality.

If the uploaded file appears blurry when printed, it's likely due to the original file being blurry. Blurriness isn't always easy to notice. You can check by zooming in on the image. If the image becomes exceedingly fuzzy, it means it's not sharp enough.

The best option, in this case, would be to replace the image with a clearer one.

Always ensure that you select the highest resolution versions of an image you have.

The preview may look pixelated, even though your original file is sharp. This can happen when an image is zoomed in. In this case, please use a different image or make sure that the image looks good even after you zoom it in 3x.

If you are uploading your files as print-ready PDFs, please review our design guidelines to get the best print results. Alternatively, you can simply upload images using our design editor to create your file from scratch (using a PNG/JPG file and/or adding text boxes).
