Image Types Supported

Creator Studio supports two image file types for import: .JPG and .PNG.

  • JPG files are one of the most widely used and compatible image formats.

  • PNG files support transparent backgrounds, making them ideal for uploading logos, artwork, or images that need to blend seamlessly into your design.

Image Quality Recommendations

To ensure your images print clearly and professionally, we recommend the following:

  • Use images that are 240–300 DPI (dots per inch) at the largest size you plan to display them.

  • Avoid exceeding 16MB per image.

  • Enlarging a photo in Creator Studio reduces its DPI, which can lead to blurry or pixelated images. The app will automatically alert you if an image drops below the minimum acceptable resolution for print.

Import Size Limit

  • You can import up to 1.5 GB of images per session in Creator Studio.

  • This limit helps ensure smooth performance across a wide range of computer systems and internet speeds.

How to Upload More Than 1.5 GB of Images

If you need to import more than 1.5 GB of images:

  1. Upload your first batch (up to 1.5 GB).

  2. Once the upload is complete, exit your project by clicking the Home button in the upper-left corner.

  3. Re-open your project to begin a new session.

  4. You can now import another 1.5 GB of images.

  5. Repeat as needed.

⏱️ Note: Upload time will vary depending on the size of your images and your internet connection.

Pro Tip: Curate Before You Upload

Just because you can upload lots of photos doesn't mean you should. Take time to sort through your images first, and only upload the best ones. This saves time and keeps your project organized and efficient.
