Does anyone know how to print clear JPG pictures? No, not the Leslie Jones pictures. I have a few documents taken by photo (JPG) that I need to print, but they all come out blurry. I've tried converting them to a pdf and have adjusted the size percentage, but they all finish the same - illegible.

photos need to be high resolution. the better the resolution the better the quality of print

I'm not 100% sure, but I did just save a ton of money by switching to geico- hope that helps.

There's nothing you can magically do to make the image better quality. But if you scanned them in as pdf it would be high quality.

no.....it doesn't matter what format they are scanned into it's the pixel count.....

I've always told my clients that once you enlarge a jpeg to 4x the size the pixels start getting blurry. As previous posters have said, converting won't help. You ave to start with a high quality image otherwise you get what you get...

.jpg doesn't scale and keep proportions, you need it as a vector

What? I meant if he started over and scanned them in, instead of taking a picture with his flip phone or whatever the hell he used.

You need double resolution in pixels per inch as the print resolution that you are trying to get from the printer.

But it's way to complex to try to explain briefly so read this if you really care enough about it to learn the very basics of how to get good print quality.
