Accepted image file types include JPG, PNG, TIFF, SVG, PDF, HEIC, WEBP, JPEG-XL, and AVIF.
Images should be RGB (not CMYK) and saved ideally in the sRGB colour space.

• JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group):
  The most popular format for photographs, offering good compression with smaller file sizes.

• PNG (Portable Network Graphic):
  Commonly used for graphics with transparency, maintaining high quality even when compressed, ideal for logos.

• TIFF (Tagged Image File Format):
  Preferred for high-quality image editing and archiving, often used by photographers due to its ability to store a lot of image data without lossy compression.

• SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics):
  A vector-based format ideal for logos and graphics that can be resized without losing quality, as it uses mathematical formulas to define shapes.

• PDF (Portable Document Format):
  Primarily used for document sharing, preserving formatting and layout, not typically considered a pure image format.

• HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container):
  A newer format offering excellent compression, often used by Apple devices.

• WEBP (WebP):
  Developed by Google, providing superior compression compared to JPEG and PNG.

• JPEG-XL (JPEG Extra Large):
  A newer standard offering improved compression compared to traditional JPEG, designed for high-quality images.

• AVIF (AV1 Image File Format):
  A cutting-edge format with excellent compression and quality.

The minimum order is just one card. So the best way to find out how your image might look is to create a card design using your photo and order just one card as a proof. Remember that we archive every card we print, so if you are happy with the result you can just go to our re-order page and order more cards.
