Why Compress to 30MB?
Large-format print workflows for posters, banners, and exhibition prints often require files in the 20-40MB range — 30MB is the practical sweet spot that satisfies print shops while keeping file transfers manageable. Professional photography studios archiving years of work to cloud services like Google One, iCloud, or Backblaze benefit from compressing exports to 30MB per image rather than storing 60-80MB originals, cutting storage costs in half without visible quality loss at any reasonable viewing size. WeTransfer free accounts allow files up to 2GB but transfer faster with individually optimized images. Medium-format digital backs from Phase One and Hasselblad produce exports that routinely exceed 50MB, and compressing to 30MB makes these files practical for digital delivery while retaining the tonal range and resolution that medium-format photographers pay a premium for.
Tips for Compressing to 30MB
For large-format prints (24x36 and above), 30MB provides excellent quality at 150-200 DPI — sufficient for viewing distances typical of posters and gallery prints.
Cloud storage optimization: compressing an archive of 10,000 images from 60MB to 30MB each saves roughly 300GB of storage.
If your print shop requires a specific format (TIFF, PSD), compress to 30MB JPEG for proofing and deliver the full-size production file separately.
