Compress photos for print labs so no file gets rejected at checkout

Print labs all enforce the same wall: most refuse images over 150MB or over 100 megapixels, and several reject WebP, TIFF, PSD, PDF, and progressive JPEG outright. A modern phone can shoot a 50-200MP panorama and a full-frame camera can output a 90MB TIFF, so a perfectly good photo gets bounced right before you pay for a poster, canvas, or photo book. Skwish compresses and resizes images locally in your browser with a live before/after size readout per file, so you bring files back under the cap while keeping the print resolution the lab actually needs. Batch the whole album, export a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Print-lab upload notes

Use these before you upload or share the page.

Compress and resize for the cap, not for the screen. A 16x20 in print at 300 DPI needs roughly 4800x6000px — keep that resolution and cut weight from file encoding instead.

Check the format list before you upload. Most labs take JPG/PNG only and reject WebP, TIFF, and PSD, so convert first if your camera or editor exported something else.

Compress the whole album as one batch. Print orders run 50-300 photos at once, and one rejected file stalls the entire checkout.
