Format images
For the best results, save images as JPG or PNG with a minimum resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch). Any image containing less than 200 DPI is considered low resolution.If you don't know if your images are high resolution, check the image details and calculate the DPI:
- Right-click on the image file and select Properties.
- In the window that opens, click the Details tab.
- Look for the number of pixels under the "Image" header.
- Divide the number of pixels by the image size. For example, if the pixel count of your image is 1200 width x 1800 height, and the image is 4" x 6". That means your image has 300 DPI.
