Frequently asked questions
What is the best export quality for Instagram?
Medium resolution at 1080px on the long edge. Instagram downscales larger uploads anyway, so exporting at exactly 1080px gives the sharpest result with the fastest upload — no wasted pixels.
What export quality should I use for print?
Full resolution. Print needs roughly 300 DPI at the final print size — a camera-native, full-resolution export covers most print sizes without re-sampling.
What is the difference between low, medium, and full resolution?
Low resolution is a small, compressed file for quick previews and drafts. Medium is optimized for social platforms that downscale anyway. Full resolution keeps maximum pixels and minimal compression for print and client delivery.
Can I export the whole batch at the same quality?
Yes. DelightfulBorders exports an entire batch at one chosen tier through the native share sheet, so every delivered file is uniformly sized and uniformly sharp.
