I have my digital files… How large can I print?

To start, you’re going to need to first identify how many pixels you are working with.

For Mac OS

  • Locate your file
  • Click on it – once – don’t double click
  • On your keyboard ~ Hold [ Command ] and press the letter ” I “
  • This opens the info window for your file
  • Look for the section that says, “More Info”
  • Within More Info you will find “Dimensions”
  • These are your pixel dimensions.

For Windows PC

  • Locate your file
  • Right click on the file
  • Select “Properties”
  • Click on the “Details” tab
  • Scroll down to the Image section
  • Look for Dimensions
  • These are your pixel dimensions.

QUICK TIP: If you take the pixel dimensions of your file, and divide each number by 150, you’ll get the dimension ( in inches ) of the largest size we will recommend that you print your file.

As an example, if you have a file that is 4500 x 6000, you can take each of those numbers – divide by 150 – and you’ll get 30 x 40 inches. 

You can use the table below as a general guide to the pixel dimensions needed for printing. The table will show you how many pixels are in a specific print size across various print resolutions, and will help you answer the question of, ‘How large can I print my file?’

NOTE: You may not find your exact pixel dimensions here. This table is intended to give you at least a rough idea.
