Understanding Image File Size Limits and Recommendations

Maximum Image File Size for Snapizzi and Partner Platforms

Updated over a month ago

Snapizzi accepts image files up to 32MB. But before you start uploading huge files, keep in mind: bigger isn’t always better. For most photography needs—especially for prints up to 8x10 or 11x14—images in the 6–9MB range are more than enough for high-quality results. Oversized files slow things down without improving quality.

Image Size Limits for Integrated Platforms

If you're using Snapizzi alongside other platforms, here are their current file size guidelines:

  • PhotoDeck: No specific limit publicly listed; check with their support for current guidelines.

  • PhotoShelter: ​PhotoShelter does not impose a specific maximum file size limit for image uploads.

  • ShootProof: Up to 50MB per file. (ShootProof File Types & Sizes)

  • Zenfolio: For Starter subscribers, the maximum file size is 36MB. For Pro and Advanced subscribers the maximum file size is 64MB. (Zenfolio Upload Guidelines)

Recommendations

  • Right-size your images: If you’re not printing larger than 11x14, there’s no need to upload massive 20MB+ files.

  • Speed matters: Large files take longer to upload and process, slowing down your workflow.

  • Optimize before uploading: Resize and compress while maintaining quality.

If you’re ever unsure, aim for that 6–9MB sweet spot—it’ll keep things efficient and look great in print!
