One Way to Upload Hi-Res Files for Printing

When it comes to printing, the higher the resolution of the photo, the better. But what if you can't upload it to our server, because the file size is just way too big?



5 Steps to Uploading Hi-Res Files for Printing

Step 1: Save the file as a low-resolution jpeg.

To do this, simply open the image file as you would in Preview.

 

A. Take a Screenshot. Click the PRT SC on your keyboard for a PC, or CTRL + ALT + 4 for a Mac (Mac Users skip to Step 2).  

B. Next, open up Paint.  Paste the screenshot into the file by pressing CTRL + V on your keyboard. Your screen will now look like so:

C. If you'd like to, crop the image. Select the dotted box tool and select the image you'd like to remain, then press crop. The resulting image should look like this:

D. When you're done, save the file! Remember to title it LOW RES as part of the file name.

And there you have it! Now you have a low-res file!

Step 2: Uploading Your Hi-Res File  

Now before you go ahead an order, somehow you have to put your hi-res file somewhere accessible to us. For this, we recommend Dropbox.

Dropbox is pretty user-friendly and easy to sign up. Once you've got it open, simply drag your hi-res file into your Dropbox folder:

 

Once it has been uploaded, click on the Share button, then the Get Link button. Whoever has this link can now download your hi-res file (but no other files on your dropbox). Copy it the link using CTRL+C.

 

Step 3: Placing Your Order
 

Now it's time to place your order! Upload your Low-Res Image to our server.

And then proceed to select your substrate:

Once you've arrived on this page, paste your Dropbox link into the comments box.

And then click Continue, and that's it!

When we receive your order, we will be able to access your hi-resolution file from the Dropbox link you placed in the comments box. If there are any issues, we will be sure to contact you first before proceeding with printing.
