What should I do if my file quality looks poor after upload?
A blurry or pixelated preview almost always comes down to resolution, not a website glitch. Print needs far more detail than a screen, so a file that looks crisp on your monitor can still be too low for press. Re-export at the correct resolution and size, then upload again.
- Target 300 DPI at the finished size for business cards, postcards, flyers, and similar small-format work.
- Large-format items like banners and posters can print well at 100 to 150 DPI because they are viewed from a distance.
- Avoid enlarging low-res images. Scaling a small photo up adds pixels but not real detail.
- Use vector art for logos and type whenever possible so edges stay sharp at any size.
If the preview still looks soft after you re-export at the right settings, contact 4OVER4 support with your order number so a file specialist can review the actual file before it goes to print.
