Graphics Images/Artwork

Q: What file formats do you accept?
A: Wallhogs accepts any of the following file formats:
  • .jpg
  • .eps
  • .pdf
  • .tiff
  • .svg
  • .psd
Q: What is the best file format to submit my images as?
There are two types of graphics file formats; raster or bitmapped and vector. Following are suggested file submission standards:
  • Raster or bitmapped images are digital photographs or scanned images. These files normally have an extension of .jpg or .tiff. Either file format will work, however the higher the resolution of the file the better.
  • Raster or bitmapped artwork created in a program such as Adobe Photoshop will have file extensions of .jpg, .tiff or .psd. These files can be submitted in any of these formats, however we suggest a resolution of 300 dpi.
  • Vector based images or artwork are normally created in programs like Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw. These files have extensions such as .eps, .pdf or .svg. Any logos, text or solid color artwork is best submitted in one of these three file formats.
Q: How do I know if my image will work?
A:Following are guidelines that should be used to qualify your image:
  • Digital Photos – image must meet minimum resolution requirement of 2048x1536 and subject to be printed should encompass at least 50% of the entire photo.
  • Scanned Images – image must be scanned at 300 dpi to even be considered for reproduction. Wallhogs recommends image be scanned as a .tiff or .jpg.
  • Logos or Artwork – images produced as artwork in raster based programs such as Adobe Photoshop must be submitted at 300 dpi. Images submitted as vector images must be submitted as .eps or .svg files.
Q: What are your minimum resolution requirements for an image?
A: Subject to be reproduced in photo or artwork should encompass, at least, 50% of the entire photo or canvas and meet the following resolution requirements:
  • Digital Photos – minimum resolution of 2048x1536 is required for upload to your Wallhogs account. Any image not meeting the minimum requirement will not upload. A 2048x1536 resolution is available on any digial camera with a MegaPixel rating of 3 or higher (review your camera manual to determine the correct setting on your camera).
  • Scanned Images – minimum of 300 dpi scan is required for upload and Wallhogs recommends image be scanned as a .tiff or .jpg.
  • Logos or Artwork – Any raster artwork must be submitted at 300 dpi and meet minimum pixel dimensions of 2048x1536. Vector artwork requires no minimum resolution requirements.
Remember – the output quality is only as good as the input quality of the image.
Use the following table to determine print quality for your image.
MegaPixels Resolution 24" 48" 72" 84"
3 2048 x 1536 Excellent Very Good Good Good
4 2240 x 1680 Excellent Very Good Good Good

Q: Will my digital printing design look just like it does on the computer screen?
A: The printed image will appear fairly close to the image on your computer screen. Computer screen and printer resolutions are different, wherein computers use ppi (pixels per inch) to display text or images while printers utilize dpi (dots per inch) to print. Keep in mind computer monitors also backlight the image on your screen whereas printing on different materials and finishes (matte, satin, gloss, etc.) will also affect the appearance of the finished product.
Q: How large and how many images can I upload into my personal account?
A: You may upload a maximum of 25 images into your account and each image may be a maximum of 35MB in size. If you are placing a bulk order of more than 25 images you may contact our Customer Service Department at cs@wallhogs.com to obtain our FTP server information.
