To ensure your vacation photos are high enough resolution for professional printing, we recommend the following steps while you are capturing your memories:
- Use your phone’s native camera app: Avoid taking photos through social media apps or third-party applications. The native camera app accesses the full sensor and delivers higher-resolution captures, whereas other apps often apply compression or filters that reduce quality.
- Set your device to maximum quality: Before you start shooting, set your camera to its highest resolution and its maximum quality file format, such as JPEG Fine or RAW. This ensures that fine details are preserved for large-format prints.
- Skip the digital zoom: Digital zoom shrinks an area from the middle of the sensor, which results in a softer image. Instead, walk toward your subject or use an optical zoom if your device is equipped with one.
- Capture in both orientations: Shooting in both landscape (horizontal) and portrait (vertical) gives you the freedom to choose the best layout for your wall art later.
Once you have captured your high-resolution images, you can upload them to our website, choose media, and preview exactly how they will look as custom framed prints. With over 20 years of experience, we specialize in crafting lasting memories by turning these sharp, well-defined shots into stunning wall art.
