💡 Our system can handle images up to a maximum of 7000 x 7000 pixels.


📚 For Photo Books

To get the best, clearest prints for your Photo Book, use images that are:

  • At least 600 x 600 pixels, and

  • No larger than 7000 x 7000 pixels.


If any photo you upload doesn’t meet our clarity standards, you’ll see a small “!” icon in the top-left corner of any photo that’s below the recommended resolution. This helps you spot which images might print a little blurry or pixelated.

You’ll also see a reminder at the bottom of the Checkout page suggesting that you replace any low-resolution photos before completing your order.

That way, you’ll have every opportunity to swap them out for higher-quality images and make sure your Mixtiles (or Photo Book!) look picture-perfect. 💛
