What This Means for You Pro Tip

To keep the EDONext designer running fast and smoothly, images are displayed at a lower resolution while you’re working. This helps improve performance, reduce lag, and make editing your pages quicker—especially for larger books.

Don’t worry—this does not affect your final print quality.

As long as your image has a resolution of 300 DPI or higher, it will print clearly and sharply in your finished yearbook.

What This Means for You

  • Images may appear slightly blurry while editing
  • This is intentional for better performance
  • Your final printed book will use the full-resolution version of your images

Pro Tip

For best results, always upload high-quality images (300 DPI or higher at the size you plan to use them on the page). This ensures your yearbook prints exactly as expected.
