For large format printing it is important that your original files are large enough to have sufficient resolution for good quality output at your required size. Insufficient resolution or filesize can cause defects often described as 'pixelated' or 'bitmapped', also files cannot simply be resampled in editing programs such as Photoshop as this will create blurred images with lack of detail. To help you determine the file sizes and resolutions required for a given output size, use the guide below.

The chart above should give you an idea as to the resolution and file size you will need for the size of print you require. Now you can use the file size, resolution, and output size calculators below to determine specific file size requirements for your desired output size and desired output resolution.
