Thinking of Purchasing Flush Mount Album

I see that Shutterfly sells Flush Mount Albums which is what I really want. The problem I am running into with pretty much anyone that sells albums is that the photos need to be 300 dpi, but I have some photos that were taken via cell phone that are less than 300 dpi. I uploaded them to Shutterfly and I don't get a warning or anything like that about the resolution, but I am still worried how it will print out. Has anyone ever made anything on Shutterfly and used a photo that was less than 300 dpi if so how did it turn out?

I used cellphone photos to make a book before and it turned out fine. I just wouldn't recommend blowing up the photo to be as large as the page. If there isn't a warning, there probably isn't a problem. They won't be quite as clear as professional photos, but you likely won't notice if you don't put them on the same page together or have the cellphone photo smaller than the professional.

You can do it, but it will probably appear pixelated when printed. Here's a website that explains why dpi is important. https://www.gogoprint.sg/blog/image-resolution-what-does-300-dpi-really-mean-and-why-does-it-matter-sg/

Hey Veronica!
Would you be able to reach out to Shutterfly’s customer service to inquire about the resolution requirements for their flush mount albums? They may be able to offer you some clarification about why you haven’t gotten a warning about your lower resolution photos.
