What resolution should I be using?

If you’ve ever wondered what resolution you should be using for your printed documents or social media and web images, here a guide.

If you are sending your documents to be printed commercially, then you need to have your images set to 300 dpi (dots per inch) – High Resolution

If you are going to print your documents on a colour copier or desktop printer, your images can be set to between 150 and 200 dpi – Medium Resolution

For your social media or web images, then your images only need to be 72 dpi, know as Screen Resolution. – Low Resolution

Make sure you use the correct images for the right platform because you don’t want your High Resolution images on your web site or social media as they will be very large file sizes and you don’t want to be sending your Low Resolution images to your commercial printer.
