DPI (dots per inch) is a measure of the resolution of a digital scan. The higher the dot density, the higher the resolution of the scan and size of the digital file.
Less than 200 DPI - Low resolution, we do not have any low resolution offerings
300 DPI - Medium resolution, perfect for simple archiving, printing or sharing on social media
600/1200 DPI - High resolution, allows you to enlarge/crop photos and retain more detail. Highly recommended for smaller photos
The industry standard for quality photographs and images is typically 300 DPI. A good rule to follow is when in doubt, select a higher dpi for your material. You can always go down in size, but you can't go up without losing quality.
