Q: What resolution should my pictures be for a calendar?
A: For calendars, we recommend that each image be at least 1600×1200. If you try to use a low-resolution picture in a calendar, a low-resolution warning will appear. This warning is important - Shutterfly is not responsible for unsatisfactory calendars resulting from a failure to heed this warning.
