|---|---|---|
| 300 DPI | 3300 × 5100 px | Print. The standard buyers expect. |
| 200 DPI | 2200 × 3400 px | Acceptable at arm's length; visibly softer up close. |

The ratio matters more than the size
11×17 is a 11:17 ratio. Every other print size that reduces to 11:17 can be cut from the same master file without redrawing anything — which is why sellers who work in ratios list far more sizes for the same effort than sellers who work in inches.
Before you list it
- Export at 3300×5100 px and confirm the file actually reports 300 DPI, not 72.
- Check the true pixel dimensions rather than trusting the DPI field — software often lies about it.
- If your source image is smaller than 3300×5100, upscaling will show. Rebuild or offer a smaller size.
