    This is interesting. I usually use 3000x3000 px canvas for Instagram yet i have noticed my work getting blurry when uploaded to Instagram. Read some articles saying that Instagram is compressing anything over 1080px, is that true?

    I have a question that maybe obvious but what format do you save it? like i usually save my work as jpg but other people tellme is better use a png or tiff formats, what is the best? and why is that? also is it better to star working at 300dpi if is going to be printed or i can do it in 72 and then pump it to 300?

    • @Paintable
      @Paintable  2 года назад +6

      These are good questions. Saving in JPG is perfect for web and even sometimes for print BUT it's a format that compresses the image and reduces the quality. TIFF and EPS are better formats for print. PNG is another good format for the web. When it comes to the DPI 300 is for print but as long as you have enough pixels (ie: 4000+ px) you should be able to print even if it's at 72 dpi. The number of pixels will determine the size of your print (more pixels = bigger print)

    • @Paintable
      @Paintable  6 месяцев назад +1

      For A1 sized print it would be roughly 7000 x 9900 pixels with 300 dpi. Hope this helps 🙂

    • @Paintable
      @Paintable  2 года назад +2

      Try not to go below 4500px on the shorter side. So 4500x4525px for a portrait/landscape format.

    So what dpi should I use for a 4x5 instagram post? and also, what would be the best way to export the procreat art into an instagram post?

    • @Paintable
      @Paintable  6 месяцев назад

      72 dpi is enough for most phone screens. But posting your original 300 dpi image works too as instagram does an good job compressing the image when you upload it.

    • @Shorusai
      @Shorusai 9 дней назад

      I'm late with a reply but I thought I might add this: the dpi is simply how it translates the amount of pixels to a length. Dot per inch. The more pixel/dots in one inch, the more crisp the image will be, but also the smaller it will be.
      It will always have the same amount of pixels though.
      Screens operate with only 72dpi. So anything online is gonna look fine as long as you have those 2500 px.
      For reference:
      2500 on 72 dpi is like 88 cm length.
      2500 on 300 dpi, is gonna be only 21 cm if you print it and want it to look crisp and not blurry.

    • @Paintable
      @Paintable  Год назад +1

      The canvas size isn't determined by what you paint, but rather by where the painting will be used. If you're not sure, just go with the print size mentioned in the video. Then the client will be able to use it on socials and in print as well. 🙂
