Prepare image for 16×20 Canvas Print (4800×6000)

Canvas prints at 16×20 need the same 4800×6000 pixel resolution as photo prints.

Your images stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Canvas prints render slightly softer than photo prints because of the fabric texture — but the pixel-resolution requirements are identical. A 16×20 canvas print at 300 DPI needs 4800×6000 pixels.

This preset produces a 6000 px JPEG at quality 95. Add ~ 3 cm bleed on each edge if your canvas print includes a wrap-around design (talk to your print shop).

Frequently asked questions

What resolution do I need for 16×20 canvas print?
Professional print requires 300 DPI (dots per inch). The preset on this page produces the exact pixel dimensions needed at 300 DPI for 16×20 canvas print — the size that most print shops require.
Can I print at less than 300 DPI?
For posters viewed from a distance, 200 DPI is acceptable. For anything held in hand (postcards, flyers, business cards), 300 DPI is what separates professional-looking print from visibly soft output.
What format should I send to the print shop?
JPEG at maximum quality is the safest universal choice — every print shop accepts it. For designs with transparency (like T-shirt PNGs), send PNG. Ask your print shop directly if they specify a preferred colour profile.
Do I need to add bleed?
For any print with edge-to-edge design (business cards, flyers, posters), yes — typically 3 mm bleed on each edge. Talk to your print shop; their template usually specifies exact bleed dimensions.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The resize runs in your browser. Files only leave your device when you send them to the print shop.
