✅ Yes, definitely! Modern smartphones can capture high-quality photos that look great in your yearbook — as long as they’re taken with care.

Here are a few tips to make sure your photos are print-ready:

📏 Check the resolution: Photos should be at least 300 DPI when uploaded to ensure crisp, professional print quality. Note: You cannot directly find the DPI (dots per inch) for an image taken with a phone camera because DPI is not a property of the digital image file itself, but rather a value calculated for printing. To determine the best print resolution, you need to find the image's pixel dimensions by checking the photo's properties on your phone or computer, then divide this to your desired print size to get the DPI. 

In this example, the print size will be 8 x 10 inches, and the resolution is 3072 x 4080. To get the DPI: 

3072 divided by 8 inches = 384 DPI

4080 divided by 10 inches = 408 DPI

💡 Use good lighting: Natural light is your best friend! Avoid dim or overly shadowed spaces.

🤳 Hold steady: Keep your phone still (or use a tripod) to prevent motion blur.

🎨 Skip the filters: Stick with clear, natural images so colors print true to life.

✨ Pro Tip: Before uploading, zoom in on your photo — if it looks grainy or blurry on your phone, it may not print well in the book.
