The Knot supports high-quality file formats to ensure your wedding invitations are printed with the highest clarity. For the best results, use the following file type recommendations:
| File Type | Best For | Recommendation |
| JPEG/JPG | Photos and complex artwork | Ensure the file is saved at the highest quality setting. |
| PNG | Graphics with transparency | Use this for logos or crests that need a transparent background. |

Can I edit or reposition my uploaded image?
Yes, you can easily edit and reposition your uploaded image directly within the design editor tool on The Knot. Once the artwork is uploaded, you can drag the image to move it, use the corner toggles to resize it, and use the rotation tool to adjust the angle. Always keep your design within the shaded line border to prevent any part of your artwork from being trimmed during the printing process.
What should I do if my images won’t upload?
If your images will not upload to The Knot, they may be over the 20 MB file size limit or in an unsupported format (JPEG, PNG, or PDF are supported). Additionally, ensure you are using a stable internet connection and a supported web browser. If you continue to experience technical difficulties, you can reach out for assistance or try to customize and edit paper products on The Knot from a different device.
How do I ensure my uploaded images are high-quality?
To ensure the images you upload to The Knot are high-quality, always use files with a resolution of at least 300 DPI (dots per inch). Avoid using images downloaded from social media or screenshots, as these are typically low-resolution and may appear pixelated or blurry when printed on high-quality cardstock.
