    Poster and Print Sizes Explained

    Standard Print Sizes 

    Our prints and posters come in a set range of standard sizes, made to fit common frames. Every size is available in portrait or landscape, and we also offer square sizes.

    Your artwork is fitted to the size you choose, so some cropping may occur if its proportions don't match. Any cropping is clearly visible in the product and design views while you customise, so check the real view to make sure your print looks exactly as you intend.
     

    Framing

    Most sizes can be ordered framed. Choose from 7 frame styles, with an optional inset faux white mat. Framed prints include clear acrylic glazing and are printed on our Value (Matte) paper.

    Framing is not available on the following sizes (portrait or landscape): 4" x 6", 5" x 7", 8.5" x 11", 11" x 17", 20" x 24", 24" x 32" and 30" x 40".                            
     

    Choosing the right image/resolution

    The images you upload will be utilised at no less than 150 ppi (pixels per inch). This means every 150 pixels in your image will become 1 inch when printed.

    Use the highest resolution images available for your Zazzle prints! If you upload a larger image and then choose to print it at a smaller size, it will be generated at the optimal resolution to ensure a quality print. We recommend that you add images that are larger than the minimum 150 ppi. For logos, digital art, or anything with sharp edges and contrasts, 200 ppi or greater is recommended.

    Print & Poster designs that use less than 150 ppi may not be posted for sale in the Zazzle marketplace.
