Question
What file format should I upload for my banner design?
Answer
For large-format banners, a print-ready PDF in CMYK color at 150 DPI or higher at full size gives the cleanest result. PDF keeps your fonts and layout locked so nothing shifts on press.
| Spec | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Format | PDF (preferred), with AI, EPS, or PSD also accepted |
| Color mode | CMYK |
| Resolution | 150 DPI or higher at final print size |
| Fonts | Outlined or embedded |
| Bleed | Added where the template specifies |
Design at the actual banner dimensions when you can. Scaling a small file up to banner size is where most blur and pixelation come from.
