After creating or editing an image in BeFunky, you can download it and print it using a home printer, local print shop, or online printing service.
To achieve the best print quality, it's important to understand how image size, resolution, and DPI affect your final print. This guide provides an overview of the printing process and links to additional resources that can help you prepare your image for printing.
Important Note: BeFunky currently supports images up to 4088 × 4088 pixels and up to 300 DPI.
Step 1: Save Your Image
Once you've finished editing your image, save it to your device using the Save option. For the best print results, choose the highest quality settings desired.
Pro Tip: When working with projects that have multiple layers or collages, we highly recommend that you save a copy of your work as a project file. It is a great way to maintain your layers in case you need to make any changes in the future. After saving your work as a project file, you can always save it in your desired file format. This can be a great time saver so that you can make future edits as needed without having to start over.
Step 2: Verify Your Image Size and Resolution
Before printing, review your image dimensions and resolution to determine how large your image can be printed while maintaining good quality.

Step 4: Print Your Image
After downloading your image, you can print it using a home printer, a local print shop, or an online printing service.
Printing services may have specific file requirements, recommended resolutions, or product sizing guidelines. If you're working with a printing provider, please be sure to check that your image resolution falls within the minimum and maximum resolution required the provider to ensure your printed image will result in just the right quality and correct image size.
