Question
What file format should I use for lenticular printing?
Answer
Submit source files in a lossless format so the interlacing stays clean. High-resolution TIFF, PSD, or PDF are the safe choices, and for animation you want each frame exported as a numbered sequence. Avoid JPEG, because its compression introduces artifacts that become far more visible once the frames are sliced and woven together.
| Requirement | Spec |
|---|---|
| File types | TIFF, PSD, or PDF (lossless) |
| Animation frames | Numbered TIFF sequence |
| Resolution | 300 DPI or higher |
| Color mode | CMYK |
- Skip JPEG for the master art. Compression artifacts multiply after interlacing.
- Keep each animation frame the exact same dimensions and alignment for smooth motion.
