A square crop changes which parts remain visible. Padding would retain the whole picture instead.

Understanding resize image for printing

Print resizing relates pixel dimensions to a physical output size and pixel density.

Calculate required pixels from inches multiplied by pixels per inch. Changing a density tag alone adds no detail.

A practical workflow

  1. Choose the required source files, if any. Files are handled as stated in the workspace privacy label.
  2. Set the available controls and apply the operation.
  3. Compare the actual output, check its dimensions and download the generated file.

Decisions and limitations

  • Output width (pixels)
  • Output height (pixels)

Images up to 16 megapixels and 20 MB. Keep an original copy. Export preserves pixels, not editable layers or original metadata.
