If you'd like to increase your file size to print it as a large Engineer Print or decrease the size of your image if it's too large to upload, here are instructions that may help you.
On a Mac
Upsizing:
- Open up your image in Preview.
- Go to Tools > Adjust Size...
- Enter your desired number of inches for the width (we recommend digits in the upper 10s or 20s for our prints). The image height should automatically increase to scale the image proportionally.
- Increase the resolution (300 is best for printing).
- Click OK and exit Preview to save your changes. In the example above, the image went from 80 KB to 1.7 MB.
Downsizing:
- Open up your image in Preview.
- Go to Tools > Adjust Size...
- Enter your desired width and height. If your image isn't uploading to Parabo, try scaling the image down around 21x28.
- Increase the resolution. We recommend at least 150 for small prints and 300 for large prints.
- Click OK and exit Preview to save your changes.
On a PC
- Open your image in Paint.
- Click the "Resize" button.
- Enter your desired value in the Horizontal and Vertical fields. Click OK.
- Drag your canvas edges to fit the resized image. There should be no extra white space.
- Save the image in JPG format.
In Photoshop
- Open your image in Photoshop.
- Go to Image > Image Size...
- Enter your desired width, height, and resolution.
- Click OK and export the file as a JPG.
