Transcription of Standard Dimensions for Digital Images
1 OIT Academic Computing 090528mt Standard Dimensions for Digital Images This document will help you customize your Images for different uses. TYPICAL CAPTURE SIZES _____ Digital Camera files Aspect ratios vary for different camera, some Standard examples: MP - 2048 x 1536 pixels (JPG HQ MB, TIFF MB) 5 MP - 2580 x 2048 pixels (JPG HQ MB, TIFF MB) 10 MP - 3648 x 2736 pixels (JPG HQ MB, TIFF MB) Scans Good Quality: 8 x 10 , 300 ppi (3000 x 2400 pixels) 24 bit color TIFF or PSD (Photoshop) file format (Approximate file size: 20 MB) Archival Quality: 11 x 17 , 300 ppi (5100 x 3300), 48 bit color, TIFF or PSD (Photoshop) file format (Approximate file size: MB) TYPICAL SIZES IN USE _____ Web Pages Typical browser window is 955 x 600 pixels.
2 Each area of the page layout, such as the top banner or columns, has additional width restrictions. Be careful not to overfill any layout area. Top banner: not more than width of container for page content Button or icon: 10 to 50 pixels wide/high Thumbnail link: 60 to 100 pixels wide/high In-line illustration: 250 to 350 pixels wide Enlargement: 600 w x 500 h to 1200 w x 800 h pixels (larger Dimensions assumes audience has high bandwidth connection and large display) PowerPoint (These are full-screen Dimensions . Make Images smaller if using captions or other text.) XGA projectors: (1024 x 768 pixels) 10 x at 96 ppi UXGA projectors: (1600 X 1200 pixels) 10 x at 160 ppi This size image will also look good on older SVGA (800 x 600) or XGA (1024 x 768) Video image files must be in RGB or Grayscale mode* (not CYMK).
3 Before inserting into a video project, crop Images to constrain for aspect ratio: 4:3 for regular video, or 16:9 for HDV or DV widescreen. For best results resize pixel Dimensions as follows: Standard Video (4:3 ratio) iMovie HD6 & iMovie DV 720 x 528, or 1440 x 1056 (if using zoom & pan effects) NTSC DV 720 x 480 DVCPRO 1280 x 1080 Widescreen Formats (16:9 ratio) HDTV 720p 1280 x 720 HDTV 1080p 1920 x 1080 OIT Academic Computing 090528mt Prints Typical Dimensions and resolutions for print: file sizes (approximate) are for flattened 8 bit TIFF files, RGB mode. Note: Check printing device specs or ask printing service to confirm best resolution.

5 Vector graphic file sizes will be considerably smaller.
