# What file format and specifications do I need for wall decals?

Wall decals print on adhesive vinyl, and a clean file plus the right surface makes the difference between a graphic that stays put and one that lifts. Repositionable vinyl is also an option. Overall dimensions (height and width). Material preference. Color specifications. A print-ready artwork file. One caution: adhesive vinyl may not stick reliably to every wall. The wall must be clean and smooth for best results, and no printer can guarantee adhesion on every wall type.
