Choosing a print size from a list is guesswork — a "16×20" sounds big until it's on the wall looking small. Our built-in Wall Preview takes the guessing out of it. Snap a photo of the actual wall you're decorating, and the tool drops your chosen prints straight onto it at their true physical size, so you can see exactly how they'll look and how much space they'll fill before you pay for anything.
It doubles as a layout planner for a gallery wall. Add several prints, drag them around, resize them, and line them up with automatic spacing and alignment guides. Try a black, white or oak frame on each one to see how it changes the look. When it looks right, every size you settled on flows straight back into your cart.
No more guessing at sizes. A "16×20" is just a number until it's on your wall. Wall Preview shows your prints at their real size, in your actual room — so you order the right size the first time, not the one you wish you'd picked when it arrives.
Save any arrangement to your account to reuse on a later order, and print a one-page hanging guide — a numbered schedule plus a to-scale diagram with the exact position and hook height for every frame — so putting the prints up is measure-once, done.
Wall Preview is free, works in your browser with no app to install, and opens straight from your cart on the ordering page.
Every digital photo is a grid of tiny coloured squares called pixels — a 12-megapixel phone photo has around 12 million of them. Print small, and those pixels sit packed in tight where your eye can't tell they're there. Print big, and the same pixels get stretched across more paper — so the exact same photo can look perfectly sharp at one size and a little soft at another.
We measure this as DPI — dots per inch, or really just how many of your photo's pixels land in each inch of paper. The moment you upload a photo and choose a size, our tool works this out for your actual photo and shows a simple green, amber or red rating: 200 DPI or higher is excellent, and anything down to about 120 DPI still looks perfectly good. You'll only see a warning if a size would genuinely come out blurry.
If you'd like to check this yourself before exporting, the maths is straightforward: take your image's pixel dimensions after cropping (most editing software shows this in the crop or export panel), and divide by your intended print size in inches. For example, a photo cropped to 4000×3000 pixels, printed at 20×15″, gives 4000÷20 = 200 DPI — an "excellent" rating in our tool. The key is to always calculate from your final cropped pixel dimensions, not your camera's original file size — cropping tighter into the frame leaves fewer pixels to cover the same print area, so it lowers your effective DPI even though the original photo hasn't changed.
Here's the part most people don't expect: a print made for a wall is viewed from much further away than a print held in your hand, so it doesn't need nearly as much detail to look sharp. A photo that's only borderline at 8×10″ up close can look completely crisp as a 24×36″ poster hanging across the room, simply because your eye is standing further back from it.
| Your photo | Looks sharp printed up to |
|---|---|
| Phone photo (~12 MP) | 15×20″ |
| Standard camera (~24 MP) | 20×30″ |
| High-resolution camera (45+ MP) | 27×40″ |
These are the sizes where a photo scores "excellent" in our upload tool. Prints made for a wall are often still a great choice above that, since they're viewed from further away — our tool checks your actual photo and tells you exactly what it can do.
Quick clarification: your camera doesn't actually shoot TIFF. It shoots JPEG (processed and compressed at 8-bit, straight out of the camera) or RAW (the untouched sensor data — usually 12-bit or 14-bit). TIFF only comes into it once you've edited that RAW file and are exporting a finished copy.
Here's the part that surprises most photographers: even though your RAW file is only 12 or 14-bit, your editing software works in 16-bit — on purpose. Every adjustment — exposure, shadows, gradients, colour grading — is maths done on your image, and doing that maths in a bigger 16-bit space keeps it smooth. Without that extra room to work with, heavy edits can leave visible banding in skies, shadows and skin tones. Not because your camera missed any detail — because the file got squeezed too hard somewhere along the way.
Export that finished edit as a JPEG, and it's flattened straight back down to 8-bit and compressed — some of the precision you just protected gets thrown away. Export it as a 16-bit TIFF instead, and it stays exactly as you left it. Nothing flattened. Nothing recompressed.
Here's what most labs won't tell you: even if a lab accepts a TIFF upload, most print labs' software is only built to process 8-bit files — so your file gets flattened before it's printed, whether you knew it or not. We don't do that. We accept — and actually print — full 16-bit TIFF files, right through to your finished print.
What that means for you:
You don't need to do anything extra. Just export your edit as a 16-bit TIFF and upload it as-is — no need to convert it to JPEG first. We handle it exactly as you sent it.
TIFF files are larger than JPEGs, so uploads may take a little longer — worth it for a print that's truer to what you actually edited.
We dispatch most orders within 1–2 business days of payment. Once shipped, delivery takes approximately 2–5 business days Australia-wide via tracked courier.
We accept JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and WebP files up to 250 MB per image. TIFF files are printed from the original uncompressed data for maximum quality.
We offer 140+ sizes — wallet sets, 4×6, 5×7, 6×8, the full A-series (A5 to A0), 8×10, 12×16, 16×20, square formats, panoramic and 16:9, and large-format wall art up to 44 inches on the short edge. Passport & ID photos for eight countries are also available. Choose your size during the ordering process and see a live crop preview before you pay.
Gloss delivers maximum colour vibrancy and deep contrast — ideal for bold, saturated images. Lustre has a subtle texture that reduces glare significantly, making it the preferred choice for portrait, headshot, and event photography. Most photographers choose lustre for professional work.
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your order and delivery address. We use tracked shipping so you can follow your order all the way to your door. Pickup from our Windsor, Brisbane studio is also available.
Less than you'd think. 200 DPI at your chosen print size is excellent, and anything down to about 120 DPI still looks perfectly good — especially for prints viewed from across a room. As a guide, a 12-megapixel phone photo prints sharp up to around 15×20", and a 24-megapixel camera up to around 20×30". The moment you upload a photo and pick a size, our tool works out the real figure for your actual file and shows a simple green, amber or red rating — you'll only see a warning if a size would genuinely come out soft.
Yes. During the ordering process you can set a border on each print from 0 up to 6 inches per side, in ¼-inch steps, in white or black. You also choose whether the paper grows to fit the border around your photo at its selected size, or stays the exact size you picked with the border set inside it. The live preview updates in real time so you can see exactly what you'll receive before placing your order.
Yes. Alongside JPEG, PNG and WebP, we accept full 16-bit TIFF files up to 250 MB. Just export your edit as a 16-bit TIFF and upload it as-is — no need to flatten it to 8-bit or convert it to JPEG first.
We actually print it. Many labs will accept a TIFF upload and then quietly flatten it to 8-bit before printing, because that's what their software is built to process. We print the full 16-bit file straight through, so none of the extra tonal precision from your edit is lost.
No — please don't. Converting to JPEG flattens your file to 8-bit and compresses it, discarding some of the precision you protected while editing. Upload your 16-bit TIFF exactly as you exported it.
No — there's no extra charge for uploading a TIFF instead of a JPEG. Pricing is based on print size and paper finish, not file format.
TIFF files store far more colour information (16-bit instead of 8-bit) and, unlike JPEG, aren't compressed in a way that throws data away — so they can be 5–10× larger for the same photo. That extra size is exactly what preserves the quality; it's expected, not an error.
Up to 250 MB per image — the same limit as our other accepted formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP).
Yes — our free Wall Preview tool does exactly that. Upload a photo of your wall and your chosen prints appear on it at their real physical size, so you can judge the size and arrange a multi-print layout before paying. Print the free calibration sheet and include it in your wall photo for millimetre-accurate scale. You can also save a layout and print a hanging guide with the exact position for every frame.
Yes. Any print (except passport photos and wallet sets) can be mounted onto rigid 5 mm white foamcore board — flat, sturdy and ready to display with no framing needed. Add it per print during ordering. An optional hanging hook can be fitted for $2.
Yes. We print compliant passport & ID photos for Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the UK, China, the USA, India and Canada, tiled onto a standard 6×4" sheet at a flat price. There's a guide overlay to help you line up the head size correctly, or you can upload your own ready-made layout.
Orders processed Monday–Friday. We aim to respond to all enquiries within one business day.
