The difference is that the website can handle only tiny pictures.  But for the deck itself we need the larger high resolution versions so we can get that crisp detail of your design in print.

Thanks!


The actual sizes are alittle different.  Sorry to add alittle confusion to the mix, BUT......

The actual card is 3 x 4.5 inches with a border, leaving 2.5 x 3.75 in design area. That the ACTUAL SIZE that will be  printed.  To maximize quality we've recommnded doing the design at twice the size.  That would have a design area of 5 x 7.5 in design area.

Now if you set your new design up in pixels rather than inches, the preferred size is 1500 x 2250 pixels (5 x 7.5 inches times 300 pixels per inch)

If you are intersted, that makes it a 1 to a 1.5 ratio in width vs height.  In other words, for every inch in the horizontal, the design is 1.5 inch in the vertical.
