Aim for about 150 to 200 dpi at the final size: for a 30 x 40 cm poster, that is around 2400 x 3200 pixels. Photos from recent smartphones are usually fine up to 50 x 70 cm. Avoid screenshots, photos compressed by messaging apps and digital zoom.
Matte or semi-gloss for a photo?
Semi-gloss paper suits most photos, with vivid colours and deep contrast. Choose matte paper for a softer, reflection-free look, for example for black and white pictures or a room with lots of light.
Can I put several photos on one poster?
Yes, the Gallery Grid template takes four photos. The other photo templates are designed around a single picture.
What sizes are available?
Eight portrait sizes, from 15 x 20 cm to 70 x 100 cm: 15 x 20, 21 x 30, 30 x 40, 40 x 50, 45 x 60, 50 x 70, 60 x 80 and 70 x 100 cm.
Custom photo posters from your own pictures
Thousands of photos sit on our phones, and only a handful ever make it to the wall. A custom photo poster changes that. Upload a picture, choose a layout and add a caption, a date or a name. The Full Bleed template lets the photo fill the entire sheet; Polaroid frames it with a white border and space for a handwritten-style caption; Gallery Grid brings four pictures together; Minimal Caption pairs one image with a short line of text.
Print quality that does your photo justice
We print on 200 gsm FSC-certified paper. Semi-gloss paper brings out vivid colours and deep contrast, which suits most photos; matte paper gives a softer, reflection-free finish. For a sharp result, aim for about 150 to 200 dpi at the final size. Recent smartphone photos are usually fine up to 50 x 70 cm. Read our photo tips before you upload.
