Enlarge or blow up one of your favorite pictures by turning it into a very large print. You can choose a childhood snap, a proud moment in life or a picture of a remarkable day out with your friends. Make a selection and covert it into a high-quality poster. The photograph will be blown up into a photo poster print.

The truth is, you can blow up any photo as large are you want and print away! But, if you enlarge it too much, you’re going to start seeing the individual pixels, which is no good. Some print methods require very high resolution (lots of little pixels in each square inch) and will result in tack sharp images.

Believe it or not, cellphone cameras actually take pretty great photos. So great, in fact, that they can be blown up large without compromising quality.
