Thanks Google.įirst, I needed to figure out what resolution to use, so I did a couple more searches, and found that the consensus seems to be that, unless you really need something sharp, like a piece of artwork, 300 ppi is pretty good. I found many different versions of how to insert or upload an image, one of which let me know that when inserting an image into a document, “most” file types are supported and the size is limited to 2MB. I tried all sorts of variations on “best format/file types/resolution for images printed from Google Docs/Drive.” My searches kept leading me back to Google Drive support. So of course, I started by trying a Google search. Printers can have resolutions of 1000 or more dpi (that’s dots per inch, which isn’t the same as ppi, but that’s a different post.) Something could look great on my screen and look fuzzy when printed. The screen I’m woking on is about 114 ppi (that’s pixels per inch).
Monitors usually have a fairly low resolution. As anyone who works with both print and web materials knows, this can be a challenge. I needed an image for a Google Document that most people will probably print. Time once again for one of those “I’m going to need to do this agan latter so I’d better write it down” posts.
