This field presents the volume of your digital photo file. A larger file size usually ensures a bigger high quality print size.

This field represents the physical location of your digital photo file with its full path – whether it's located on your hard drive, digital camera or on any other storage device.

This field presents your digital photo pixel dimensions – width & height. A greater number of pixels usually a bigger high quality print size.

This field presents the proportions between the width & height of your digital photo. A standard digital camera aspect ratio is usually 3:4. In traditional cameras the aspect ratio is usually 2:3.

The number shown in this field represents the maximum high quality print size possible for your photo. The numbers shown refer to width X height accordingly. You can choose to see the results in centimeters or inches.
Above this size, your print will probably suffer from pixelization. The photo below demonstrates the problem:

The scale mark changes dynamically for each photo in respect to its resolution.
All size range that falls within the green or blue spectrum are good for printing, and we can assure you 100% satisfaction with the results if you print using our www.magnipic.com online service. Size ranges that falls within the red spectrum are not recommended for printing since in spite of our advanced enlargement algorithms, the resulting print on canvas might turn out with pixelization.
