1. What 300 DPI means for gifts — dots per inch vs. “will it look good at this size?”
2. Phone photos that work — recent iPhone/Android shots, avoid heavy zoom/crop.
3. What to avoid — screenshots, WhatsApp-compressed images, tiny crops of faces.
4. Size vs. product — small acrylic vs. large canvas needs more pixels.
5. Quick checklist — lighting, focus, one main subject, leave margin for crop.
6. Using the personalize tool — live preview, DPI warning, fix before paying.
