Understanding Photo Print Sizes: The Importance of Dots Per Inch

When printing a photo, you may have noticed that our website limits the size of your print to avoid producing low-quality images. But why is this the case? The answer lies in understanding dots per inch (DPI), or the number of dots a printer puts down in a one-inch line.

Most screens can only display up to 72 DPI, which means that photos found online are often not as detailed as those intended for printing on paper. In contrast, our eyes can discern up to 300 DPI when viewing a printed photo at arm's length.

Think of stretching a standard 4x6 photo to fit a billboard - it may look great from afar but will appear blurry up close. Unfortunately, it is not possible to add detail to a photo after it has been taken. This means that the larger you choose to print your photo, the blurrier it will become when viewed up close.

At 'Your Website', we understand the importance of printing photos at the highest possible DPI for the selected size. Our team will always ensure that your uploaded photo is printed with the greatest level of detail possible.
