Considerations on initial picture size to fit a known frame size?

# 2 years ago
hughesadam87 Member	Hi, Thank you for this great tool and sorry if this is duplication - am finding searching the forum to be difficult. I am trying to make an image that will fit a 12x15in frame. I'm limited to a lowish resolution image that I cropped from a linked-in photo. However, in the editor with all the effects applied, the image looks pretty solid. So here are my questions: 1. ~~Will an initially low-res image, processed through wordart, and downloaded through UHD option, produce a high-resolution final image? Or will it be upper-bounded by the initial image resolution?~~ (update: bought the high res download and it's like 22MP woot) 2. The final UHD image is W=5897 x H=5425px, or aspect ratio of W/H = 1.08. This is pretty close to either a 4:5 or 1:1 aspect ratio. Looking at a size guide, thinking 16x16in may be optimal. But this is ratio of exactly 1. Should I crop the image to have this exact size before it's printed? Can word art help with this? Or if Fedex required it be 4:3, how can I do that? 3. Are UHD Jpeg image sizes generally smaller than PNG? Fedex online may cap image size a 15MB or something and the UHD png is 22MB - any tips here? 4. How can I submit to a gallery? Really happy with how this is turning out and there's a nice story behind it. 5. Did word art add a small white border to the image, or is that my PNG viewer program? If the former, can it be removed? Edited 11 Dec, 2022 22:13

Alex Key Master	Hi, 1. HQ images have a 32MP (millions of pixels) resolution 2. The aspect ratio depends on the shape you selected. For example, you can choose the square shape (from the Geometric section ), and it will have 1:1 aspect ratio. 3. JPEG images might have a smaller size than PNG, but in any case, HQ image size is far less than 15 or 20 MB. Usually, it is about 2-4MB. 4. You can submit to the Gallery from the Menu -> Privacy at the top of the creator window 5. Yes, a small margin is added by default. You can download without the margin from the "Download -> Custom" download dialog by setting the Margins slider to zero
