Event Photo Best Practices
Use High-Quality Source Photos
Start with the best resolution available. You can always reduce size, but you cannot add detail to low-res images.
Match Your Theme
Use filters and color adjustments to match your photo style to your event theme and color palette.
Consider Bleed Area
For printed materials, add 0.125" bleed around edges. Keep important elements away from the edge.
Test Print Before Ordering
Always print a test copy at home before ordering bulk prints to check colors and sizing.
Event Photo FAQ
What size should a wedding invitation photo be?▼
Standard wedding invitations are 5x7 inches. For high-quality printing at 300 DPI, use 1500x2100 pixels. For 4x6 save-the-dates, use 1200x1800 pixels. Always work at 300 DPI for print materials.
How do I remove the background from my engagement photo?▼
Use our AI Background Remover to isolate you and your partner from the original background. Then add a clean white, gradient, or custom background that matches your invitation design theme.
What's the best format for digital invitations?▼
PNG for images with transparency or text overlays, JPEG for photos. Keep file sizes under 5MB for easy email and messaging. For animated elements, consider GIF format (though it reduces quality).
Can I create a photo collage for my wedding?▼
Use our crop tool to prepare individual photos to matching sizes (like 1:1 squares), then combine them in your favorite design tool. Consistent sizing is key to professional-looking collages.
What DPI should I use for printed invitations?▼
Always use 300 DPI for printed materials. Lower DPI (like 72 for web) will look blurry when printed. Our resize tool can help you check and adjust resolution for print-quality output.
