Big Shot provides enlarged digital printing services to professional photographers. Each graphic uploaded for printing is digitally color corrected, cropped as specified and printed on one of our adhesive backed materials. Each cropped image is kiss-cut for easy removal from backing and installation.
Your Big Shot can be up to 58˝ wide and from 2 to 7 feet in height. If your image is wider than 58˝, the output will be in 2 pieces and you will need to contact us for a quote.
A Big Shot is made of either:
A. 6-Mil Matte White Reusable Vinyl (Interior Use Only):
This material has a semi-adhesive backing so it will stick to your walls, but can be moved anytime you want without damaging the wall surface or paint. NOT FOR USE ON TEXTURED WALLS. Also, if area has recently been painted, paint must be allowed to cure 30 days prior to installing your wall graphic.
B. Photo-Tex™ Fabric Material (Interior or Exterior Use):
This is a removable adhesive fabric with a matte finish that can be mounted to any surface and re-positioned countless times but still retains its adhesion without leaving a residue. It is water-resistant, doesn't tear or wrinkle, dries instantly, and can be illuminated with back-lighting.
No! Anything you are interested in can be a Big Shot. Pets, the military, cars, group photos, murals etc. If you have a great idea, let us know!
No. Big Shots will not damage wall surfaces or paint. Follow our Installation Guide for the how, where and when of positioning and repositioning of your Big Shot.

Yes we do. However in an attempt to offer you reasonable pricing this is not included in the pricing displayed for each product. We will contact you with image correction quotations.
Upon uploading your file, you will be notified if your file meets our requirements for the size of print that you are ordering.
The subject in your photo, at a minimum, should encompass 50% of the entire image. If the image does not meet this requirement the quality when enlarged will appear pixelated and blurry. You should also follow the guidelines set below for resolution requirements.
Please remember that the output quality is only as good as the input quality of the image.
Digital camera images require a minimum resolution of 2048 x 1536. This resolution is available on any camera with a megapixel rating of 3 or more. Simply set your image capture settings to the highest quality. Scanned images require a minimum resolution of 300 dpi at 8"e; x10"e;.
We require a minimum of 300 dpi for any images that are to be reproduced larger than 4 feet high.
A vertical (portrait) full-body shot against a high-contrast background makes one of the best final prints. Contrast between the subject and the background is important because Big Shots are trimmed around the subject. An image that started out with a light colored background looks best on a light-colored wall and conversely, a light subject against a dark background works best on a dark colored wall.
• The bigger the image size, the larger the shot can be reproduced.
• Upload files in RAW format if possible--this is our preferred file format.
• Fill the entire frame with the subject, taking care not to crop the subject’s head, hands or feet.
• For smaller subjects like pets and children, the photograph should be taken at their eye level.
