Enlarge Your Photo in Lusaka — What Sizes Work and What They Cost

One of the most common questions we receive at The Custom ZM in Lusaka is: how large can I print this photo? The answer depends on the resolution of your source file. Here is the practical breakdown.

Resolution and Maximum Print Size

As a rough guide based on common smartphone camera resolutions:

8-megapixel file (older smartphones): prints cleanly to about 40×30cm. Some softness at 50×35cm.

12-megapixel file (many current smartphones): prints sharply to 60×40cm. Acceptable quality at 70×50cm with some softness at maximum viewing distance.

20-megapixel file: prints sharply to 80×60cm or 90×70cm.

40+ megapixel file (flagship smartphones, professional cameras): can print sharply to 100×100cm or larger.

These are guidelines, not hard rules. Image content matters as much as resolution — a photo with lots of fine detail shows resolution limits more quickly than a portrait with soft, out-of-focus backgrounds.

What This Means For Ordering

The best approach: send us your photo at its original resolution. We assess it and tell you the maximum size that will print well, and we quote you the price for your desired size.
