    Hello! I am now here so if I missed forum category please move this thread, thanks!

    I am looking to sell my digital images online for printing but I am stuck on which dimensions to use.

    I was buying files from my competition and they are all mostly delivering purchased image in 5 ratios (2:3, 3:4, 4:5, A1 and 11x14). But, I am not sure what file sizes in pixels are standard for large printing for that ratios?

    Also when I am creating A1 template Affinity standard dimensions are 9933,1x14043,3px but all of my competition is delivering A1 file in 5906x8268px?

    I want to proceed with my project but I am really stuck with this for two weeks now and I am having problems finding solution on Google...

    Is the final product fine art photos to print or for general brochure-type printing?

    I would want 300 dpi as a baseline standard resolution for purchasing graphics.

    You could offer a higher resolution option for higher end projects and fine art reproduction.
