HELP! My photo is too small

Is your photo too small for processing? Do not panic! :) Usually, there is always a larger and better version of your photo available which is suitable for printing. Most likely the picture quality decreased during transfer through apps such as Whatsapp. We can help you trace the original photo below!

Where did your photo come from?

  • Taken with my own phone

     
  • Received through WhatsApp

     
  • From Social Media

     
  • Taken with a digital camera

     
  • Found on the internet

     

    Taken with my own phone

The Reason

You have edited the photo in a programme or app, by adding a filter for instance. Or you cropped your photo.

The Solution

Send us the original and unedited version directly from your phone by e-mail. Please always select the actual size (or choose the biggest size possible).

When e-mailing your photo, please always mention your order number.

It is absolutely not a problem for us to reproduce the cropping or editing of your photo. Clearly mention in your e-mail if you want us to edit your image and what needs to be changed. If needed, we can send you a preview of your print before processing your order.

Stock Photos - Image Library

If you are looking for a nice photo, you can also have a look at shutterstock.com and maybe you will find a beautiful photo there. We have a cooperation with this particular image library. Have you found a stunning photo? Send us the stock photo ID by e-mail and we will download the high quality file for you at no extra cost.

    Received through WhatsApp

The Reason

Have you received the photo through WhatsApp? This app automatically compresses your image file and therefore it is not suitable for printing.

The Solution

A photo should have a minimum size of 250 KB (0.25 MB) for a good print result.

When e-mailing your photo, please always mention your order number.

Photos taken on a phone nowadays have a great quality and these types of pictures can be used for printing as long as you send us the original version without any filter or editing.
