# What file resolution is acceptable for printing logos?

Logos print cleanest when they are either vector art or a high-resolution raster file, because logos often have crisp edges and fine detail that show every flaw. Vector (AI, EPS, PDF): ideal, since it stays razor-sharp at any size. Raster (JPG, TIFF, PNG): at least 300 DPI at the size it will print. Avoid enlarging small web logos, which are usually 72 dpi and turn fuzzy. Not sure your logo file will hold up? Ask your printer to assess the resolution before production.
