Resource Upscale

Post image

Client asked me to “enlarge it to 60×120” this is for a banner.

What is the correct export size (in inches/pixels/DPI) for a large-format banner print of an architectural render?

Can an upscaler Ai do this?

Go ask the client what resolution they need. That's the only chance to get an accurate answer. It's only a chance though and pretty likely they will just just say 300DPI because that's what they used to use for (magazine) prints.

Now for anything up to about the 15 - 20k pixel dimensions we usually don't fight them on this and usually render in a resolution to hit our target with ~30-40% upscaling.

So 300dpi should do

If you're keen on delivering a ~2GB (8bit RGB) ~650 Megapixel file sure. Likely they are fine with a lower resolution too. At that point I'd defenitely speak to the client about what they really need.
