How to Add a Minimum Required Size for Images Uploaded by Shoppers

If your design requires a high-quality print, you can set a minimum width and height (in pixels) for any image shoppers upload. This ensures the image won’t appear blurry or pixelated when printed.

If a shopper tries to upload an image smaller than the minimum size you set, they’ll see an error message prompting them to upload a larger file.

How to Know What Minimum Size to Use

For most print products, aim for at least 150 DPI (dots per inch) to ensure good print quality. You can calculate the minimum pixel dimensions like this:

Photo Print Width in inches × DPI = pixel width  
Photo Print Height in inches × DPI = pixel height 

Example:

• An 8×10 inch print at 150 DPI would need at least 1200×1500 px.
