Compress Images for Print

Print-ready images require higher resolution than web images. At 300 DPI, images must be much larger in pixel dimensions to produce sharp, professional-quality physical prints. Use ImageSmith to compress your Print images before sending — free, instant, and entirely in your browser. No account needed, no watermarks, no ads. Target under 50,000KB for best results on Print.
