Choose Image Resolution for a Professional Book Interior

Images that look sharp on a laptop may print blurry; resolution should be checked at the final size used in the book.

Ask your printer or designer for image requirements before placing photographs or illustrations. Resolution depends on the image’s printed dimensions, color treatment and production method. Enlarging a small file does not create missing detail and can make artifacts more visible.

Keep original high-quality files and avoid repeatedly saving compressed images. Review a print proof under good light to check sharpness and contrast. If an image cannot meet the specification, consider replacing it, reducing its size or adjusting the page design.
