The right format depends on the purpose

When you receive professional photos, it's important they're delivered in the right resolution and file format for how you plan to use them. High-quality images should not only look great—they should also work seamlessly across platforms, whether you're uploading them to a website, printing a brochure, or sharing them with the press.

A good photographer will deliver a variety of formats so you're covered for both digital and print. At BluMango, we always provide files that are professionally prepared and easy to use, with no extra editing needed on your side.

What to expect from your image delivery

Here's what's typically included in a professional photo delivery:

• High-resolution files (300 DPI): These are ideal for print materials like flyers, business cards, brochures, or large-format posters. Common formats include JPEG or TIFF.
• Web-optimized images (72 DPI): These are resized for digital use—such as websites, newsletters, or social media. They load faster while still looking sharp on all screens.
• Transparent background versions (PNG): Useful for logos, product cutouts, or any time you want to place an image over a different background.
• Cropped versions for specific platforms: Sometimes you'll receive square, vertical, or horizontal crops prepared for Instagram, LinkedIn, banners, or email headers.

Consistency and convenience

Professional images are also named and organized in a clear folder structure, so you can easily locate and upload them when needed. File sizes are optimized for quality without slowing down your website or platform.
