What DPI You Need for Banner Artwork

Use this guide to ensure your banner artwork meets the DPI requirements for crisp, high-quality large-format print.

What DPI Really Means for Banners

DPI (dots per inch) measures resolution. For banners:

• Outdoor banners look great at 75–150 DPI

• Indoor banners benefit from 150–300 DPI

• Always design at full size, unless using vector graphics

This ensures your banner stays crisp up close and from afar.

Resize Smart to Keep Clarity

Follow these tips:

• Use vector files where possible for logos and text

• For photos, prepare raster images at target size resolution

• Avoid upscaling—resize originals to the exact banner dimensions

Proper resolution planning keeps graphics sharp and readable.

Check Before You Print

Before sending to print:

• Zoom to 100% to check for pixelation

• Use digital mockups for real-size visualization

• Request a physical proof if color match is critical

These steps help you avoid blurry or low-quality prints.
