# Recommended Resolutions for Prints
#### **DPI in a nutshell**
The most important measurement to keep in mind when defining the right resolution to upload is DPI (dots per inch). DPI defines the number of individual dots that can be placed in a line within the span of 1 inch (2.54 cm).
Most labs work with DPIs ranging from a minimum of 150 DPI to an optimal resolution of 300 DPI.
This means that if your most extensive print is 10 × 7″, your photo file should (at 300 DPI) be 3000 pixels on the long edge.
Uploading your photos with a resolution of 3500 pixels on the long edge should be sufficient to cover most print sizes and products.
We’ve compiled a list of popular print sizes and their recommended resolutions for your convenience:
