Please help - need to increase image size

Phyzelda

Hi,

I don't know if this is possible, but i have an image at present which is only 112kb, and i want to get it put on canvas as a Christmas present. however the company suggests a minimum size of 300kb.

Is there anyway to increase my original image?

Thanks

Normally by increasing size of image or file format such as png, JPEG, any picture viewer should allow you to do this.

Sorry to sound stupid, but how would I do this?

I have tried to "autofix" but this only increased the image to 177kb

Just making the file size bigger is not really going to help. You file probably does not have enough pixels for the size of canvas you want to buy. You need a higher resolution image.

You can't increase the amount of data in your picture. The canvas company will be able to increase the size of the image to fit the canvas.
However since your image is of low resolution about 1.2 megapixel the finished result may look a bit blurred, depending of course on how big the final image will be.

Absolutely but this really comes close to doing it:
