Resizing Guide
Our Resizing Guide includes everything you need to know about image specifications for each press printed book. Please note that the Maximum Image Size column indicates the maximum image dimensions permitted for each press printed book size; in other words, the longest dimension of each of your images cannot be any larger than the size listed.
In addition, please pay special attention to the Minimum Image DPI column. This column indicates the minimum dpi necessary to ensure the highest quality for each book type. Books with more images on each page require a lower dpi than those with fewer images, and resizing your images to the minimum dpi required will greatly increase the speed of your upload.
