What is the best size in kb and dpi to get a good 7x5 print.?

Question

I'm uploading 2 to 3 mb files which take ages to send. I have arcsoft photostudio versions 2 and 5 software and visualizer to reduce the size.

Answer 1

if you go with 150 dpi that would make your image 1050 x 750 and take up about 3.3meg... thats in a tiff image, now you dont need a tiff image if you convert to jpg which is what most online services use... you will get the size down to about 400 - 500 kb... dont compress the image too much in the jpg conversion and dont go less than 150 dpi

Answer 2

About 2mb sounds right for a 300dpi 7x5 photo for printing. Unless you increase the compression (and thus lowering the visual quality) I don't think you're going to get the files any smaller. Consider burning a load of them to a cd and posting it off to the printers if uploading is difficult.

Answer 3

If you are trying to print the files, they should ideally be 300 dpi... depending on the kind and amount of compression involved that can be a sizaeable file. A color file to be printable should ideally be a tiff format; that will put your file at
9.01 megabytes. That'll upload pretty slow. If you jpeg it it will reduce it to a manageable 1 meg or so...

Answer 4

well i dont know about the kilo bites but the dpi should be 72 dpi on screen and 300 dpi when you print no matter what size it is.

Answer 5

at least 150 dpi anything less would probably come out pixelated, it also depends on the original size of the image

Answer 6

300 dpi for hi-rez prints.
(2100x1500 pixels, is size for 7x5 @300DPI)
