What resolution should I use for photos?
Higher resolution photos are clearer and contain more detail. Digital image resolution is expressed as pixels (or dots) across by pixels down, such as 640 x 480, meaning 640 pixels across by 480 pixels down. The best printable resolution is 300 dots per inch. Extremely low resolution will look “blocky” or pixelated.
