Method
- Sizes are named by the long side of the printed picture. The short side follows the photo's shape.
- PPI is the photo's long side in pixels divided by the print's long side in inches.
- We offer a size when the photo gives at least 100 ppi. At 150 ppi or more a print holds up close; at 300 ppi it is as sharp as the printer gets.
- A picked photo is read on your device for its pixel size only. Nothing is uploaded until you choose to frame it.
- Prices include the frame and US shipping. The frame adds its own width on every side.
- For hanging, see what size art for my wall and art over a sofa or bed.
