File Formats

We currently accept the following file formats and versions. This list is subject to change. Please note, only JPEG images under 4000 pixels in either direction will show a preview when ordering online.

We prefer images be sent as RGB. CMYK is OK, we can convert to our profile.

.jpg JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). Generally, this is the prefered format for sending files to us via the internet. We recommend a compression of no more than 40% (In Photoshop, 8 - 12).
The file types below cannot be used with our ordering system.

.tif TIFF (Tagged Image File Format). This is the preferred format if available for submission through CD or DVD. They can be compressed, to save transmission times over the internet. We recommend LZW or ZIP compression. 8 or 16 bit.
