FAQ – Frequently asked questions about Gigapixel images & licences

Do I need an account to buy images?

No. Purchases are made without registration, and a customer account deliberately cannot be created with us at all.

Checking in the zoom viewer, purchasing and billing all take place without a login.

No – at Gigapixel GmbH you cannot create a customer account – and that is not a technical oversight, but a deliberate decision. Why? Because we concentrate on what matters: selling high-resolution images without unnecessary hurdles. For most customers an account is simply superfluous, and we see no reason to force this step upon you.

If you need to access your order later, simply archive the order confirmation or contact us. An account would be no advantage here – on the contrary: it would only create additional complexity without any real benefit. Instead, we rely on simplicity, transparency and trust. We are available for all questions – entirely without a login requirement.

A customer account is not necessary at Gigapixel GmbH – and is often even counterproductive. You benefit from a faster, more data-sparing and more straightforward purchasing process, without having to forgo service or quality. Try it out: buy high-resolution Gigapixel images without an account, without hidden obligations and without unnecessary data collection.


Why does a large print not cost more than a small one?

The price is based on the resolution of the motif (category XL or XXL), not on the print size. A print licence applies to one print production of any size.

What is the Gigapixel Portal?

The Gigapixel Portal is a specialised image database for ultra-high-resolution original photographs that differs markedly from conventional stock portals. While standard image agencies predominantly offer files between 20 and 50 megapixels, the Gigapixel Portal sells exclusively original, non-upscaled shots from 100 megapixels – Gigapixel shots in the narrower sense (from 1,000 megapixels) can be found in the XXL category.

Why is that important?

Most cameras – even high-quality full-frame models – achieve only about 30 megapixels of true resolution at the optimal aperture (e.g. f/8) owing to diffraction limits (photoscala.de, 2012). Smartphones that advertise 48–200 megapixels deliver only about 2 megapixels of actual image information owing to their small sensors (typically 2/3-inch chips). The Gigapixel Portal closes this gap: all images are created by photomechanical stitching – the combination of hundreds to thousands of individual shots into a seamless whole. This produces resolutions from 100 megapixels to 85.5 gigapixels; shots in the Gigapixel range (from 1,000 MP) are also sufficient for areas over 200 m² viewed from a distance of a few metres.

Who is the portal intended for?

The Gigapixel Portal is aimed at professional users who need high-quality images for large-format applications:

Stretch-ceiling manufacturers (motifs for wall and ceiling design) Exhibition stand builders (spectacular stand design) Interior designers & hotels (representative room design) Clinics & healthcare facilities (Healing Environment concepts with NatureLux® systems) Architects & urban planners (panoramas for façades, information boards or VR applications)

The motifs include city panoramas, natural landscapes, architecture, macro photography, space images and digital art – all in a quality that reveals no pixels even at close range.

How does the purchase work?

Every image can be checked before purchase in the HTML5 zoom viewer at full original resolution – without registration or hidden costs. The licences are transparent and usage-based:

Print licences (from €90) Digital licences (for websites, VR, social media)

The terms of use are clearly defined and unlimited in time.

Conclusion: a portal for the highest standards

The Gigapixel Portal is a specialised database for ultra-high-resolution original photographs – without AI interpolation or loss of quality. It gives professional users the assurance that their images remain pin-sharp even on large areas (from 5 m² to over 200 m²). For all who value genuine image quality, transparency and long-term usage rights, it is the ideal solution.

Try it out!


What does a licence cost in the Gigapixel Portal?

The licence prices in the Gigapixel Portal are transparent, fair and tailored to professional applications. Unlike classic stock portals, the costs are based not on the print size but on the resolution of the image – because a Gigapixel photo remains pin-sharp even on 200 m² of façade area. All licences are unlimited in time: there are no subscriptions, no annual renewals and no hidden follow-up costs.

Two licence categories for different requirements

The portal offers two main categories, which are based on image resolution and file format:

CategoryResolutionFormat
XL100 to 250 megapixelsTIFF
XXL500 megapixels – 85.5 gigapixelsPSB

Resale possible: agencies and exhibition stand builders can transfer the licence to end customers. Long-term use: a stretch ceiling can display the image permanently, an exhibition wall can be used any number of times.

Who benefits from which licence?

Small projects (stretch ceilings, wall art): category XL (from €90). Large-format applications (façades, exhibition halls): category XXL (from €450) is the right choice. Digital use (websites, social media): the digital licence (from €135) is the appropriate option.

The licence prices in the Gigapixel Portal are one-off, fair and designed for long-term use. You receive genuine original photography in ultra-high resolution without AI upscaling – at a price tailored to professional users. For special requests or large projects we are happy to offer personal advice.


Which file formats are provided after purchase?

After purchasing a Gigapixel image you receive the high-resolution original files in the professional TIFF or PSB formats – depending on the licence category chosen. These formats are specially optimised for large-format printing and digital further processing and guarantee maximum quality without compression losses. Here you can find out which formats are available, what they are suitable for and how to use them optimally.

  1. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) – category XL (100 to 250 megapixels)

The TIFF format is the standard for high-quality print templates and is provided for images in category XL (100 to 250 megapixels). It offers the following advantages:

Lossless compression: no loss of quality through compression artefacts. Compatibility: supported by all common print shops, image editing programs (Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo) and layout software (InDesign, Illustrator). Maximum resolution in the portal: up to 250 megapixels – ideal for print areas of 6–16 m² (e.g. stretch ceilings, wall art, posters).

Typical applications:

Stretch ceilings, photo wallpapers, mounted prints Advertising displays, posters, large-format prints Interior design (hotels, offices, clinics)

  1. PSB (Photoshop Big) – category XXL (500 megapixels to 85.5 gigapixels)

For extremely high-resolution images in category XXL (500 megapixels to 85.5 gigapixels), the PSB format is used. It is the right choice for print areas from 32 m² up to several thousand square metres, as it offers the following properties:

Extremely large file sizes: supports resolutions up to 300,000 × 300,000 pixels (theoretically up to 90 gigapixels). Lossless storage: no compression, no loss of quality. Professional editing: supported by Adobe Photoshop and suitable for complex post-processing (cropping, colour correction, compositing). Maximum flexibility: enables prints in any conceivable size – from façades to exhibition halls to panorama walls.

Typical applications:

Large-area façade design (e.g. for buildings, exhibition halls) Panorama walls, LED walls, projections NatureLux® illuminated motif walls for clinics and public spaces Digital art installations and VR applications

What you should know about the files

No watermarks or restrictions: the files supplied are fully usable and contain no watermarks or DRM protection mechanisms. No AI upscaling artefacts: since all images are created by photomechanical stitching, they are free from artificial upscaling errors. No compression: both TIFF and PSB store images without loss of quality – ideal for professional print templates.

How to use the files

Print preparation:

Open the file in Photoshop, GIMP or another image editing program. Adjust the resolution (e.g. 100–150 ppi for large-format prints). Crop the image if necessary or correct the colours. Export the file in the desired format.

Digital use:

Make sure that the digital licence covers the planned use (e.g. only one website or one social media profile).

Long-term archiving:

Both formats (TIFF and PSB) are eminently suitable for long-term archiving, as they exhibit no compression losses.

The TIFF and PSB file formats are the best options for high-resolution prints and digital projects. While TIFF is ideal for small to medium print areas (6–16 m²), PSB offers maximum flexibility for extremely large applications (from 32 m²). Both formats guarantee pin-sharp results without loss of quality – perfect for stretch ceilings, façades, exhibition walls and more. If you have questions about processing or use, we are happy to help.


Which technical requirements apply to façade prints over 100 m²?

Façade prints with Gigapixel images over 100 m² place particular demands on resolution, file format, printing technology and materials. In order to achieve pin-sharp, colour-accurate and long-lasting results, several factors must be taken into account. Here you can find out which technical requirements apply to such large projects – from image preparation to final installation.

  1. Minimum resolution: why façades need ultra-high resolution from 100 MP

For façades over 100 m² an extremely high original resolution is essential. Conventional stock images (e.g. 20–50 megapixels) are not sufficient, as they appear pixelated and blurred at this size. The rule of thumb for large-format prints is:

12–29 megapixels per m² at a viewing distance of 1 metre (60 or 94 pixels per degree). From 1 m distance 87–137 ppi, from 2 m 44–68 ppi.

Example calculation for 100 m²:

At 1 m viewing distance: 2,500–3,000 megapixels (2.5–3 gigapixels) required. At 5 m viewing distance: 47–116 megapixels (0.47–1.16 MP/m²). (0.5–0.6 gigapixels) sufficient.

The Gigapixel Portal offers images with up to 85.5 gigapixels – enough for façades of several thousand square metres without loss of quality.

  1. File format: PSB for maximum flexibility

For façades over 100 m² only the PSB format (Photoshop Big) comes into question. Why?

TIFF files are limited to ~3 gigapixels (owing to the 4 GB file size restriction). PSB supports up to 300,000 × 300,000 pixels (theoretically up to 90 gigapixels). Lossless storage without compression artefacts – crucial for pin-sharp prints.

Practical recommendation:

Use the XXL category (500 megapixels to 85.5 gigapixels) of the Gigapixel Portal. The files are delivered without watermarks or DRM protection and are ready to print immediately.

Façade prints over 100 m² require extremely high-resolution images, professional printing technology and weather-resistant materials. The Gigapixel Portal offers up to 85.5 gigapixels as the ideal basis for such projects – without loss of quality, without AI upscaling, without compromises. With the right file formats (PSB), long-lasting and impressive façades are created that remain pin-sharp even at close range.

Our tip:

Work together with an experienced print shop that specialises in large-format printing. Request a test print in advance to check colour accuracy and sharpness. Use the XXL category of the Gigapixel Portal for maximum flexibility.

How large can I print a Gigapixel image?

The maximum print size of a Gigapixel image depends on two decisive factors: the resolution of the image and the viewing distance. While conventional stock photos reach their limits after just a few square metres, Gigapixel images make prints possible in almost any desired size – from stretch ceilings to entire building façades.

Resolution and viewing distance: the decisive factors

From 1 m distance a print needs 87–137 ppi (60 or 94 pixels per degree, Ashraf et al. 2025, Nature Communications 16:9086); 70 ppi suffice only from about 1.25 m (visual acuity 1.0) or 2 m (94 PPD). The benchmark is visual acuity: the eye resolves foveally on average around 94 pixels per degree (PPD) (Ashraf et al. 2025, Nature Communications 16:9086), at visual acuity 1.0 around 60 PPD; at 1 m distance that corresponds to 87–137 ppi. At 70 ppi the image remains sharp from about 2 m distance even under critical viewing.

The actual print size results from the pixel count of the image and the chosen ppi value. A 100-megapixel image (e.g. 12,000 × 8,333 pixels) can be printed at 100 ppi at about 3.0 × 2.1 metres (around 6.5 m²) – at 70 ppi about 4.3 × 3.0 metres, but then only for viewing from about 1.25–2 m. Larger images with several gigapixels make prints of over 200 m² possible, as used for façades, exhibition halls or stadium walls.

Larger distances, larger prints

The greater the viewing distance, the lower the required resolution can be.

On every detail page of the Gigapixel Portal you will find an integrated print size calculator that immediately shows you the maximum print area for your desired image.

Material and printing technology: what to bear in mind

While the theoretical print size is almost unlimited, material and printing technology set practical limits. For stretch ceilings or wallpapers, panels of up to about 50 m² are recommended, which can be joined together seamlessly. Façade panels such as Alucobond or glass are available in individual sizes of up to about 10 m², but can be combined for larger areas. For temporary projects such as construction sites or events, mesh banners can be several hundred square metres in size.

With Gigapixel images, prints are possible in almost any desired size – from small wall art to monumental façades. The Gigapixel Portal offers you:

Transparent information on the pixel count for every image. An integrated print size calculator that immediately shows you the optimal print area. Professional advice for large projects.

Choose the resolution that suits the viewing distance, work together with an experienced print shop and use the possibilities of the Gigapixel Portal to realise your next project in impressive size!


Are the images suitable for stretch ceilings and photo wallpapers?

Yes – Gigapixel images are the optimal choice for stretch ceilings and photo wallpapers, because they perfectly meet the particular technical and perceptual-psychological requirements of these applications. While conventional stock photos reach their limits even on small areas, Gigapixel images offer the necessary depth of detail and sharpness to deliver impressive results even at close range.

Why Gigapixel images are ideal for stretch ceilings

Stretch ceilings place particular demands on the image material: the polyester film stretches by 3–8 % during installation, which can lead to visible blurring with low-resolution images. The images in the portal start at 100 megapixels of original resolution – enough reserve so that the stretching of the film by 3–8 % does not visibly reduce sharpness. Even after stretching, the motif remains pin-sharp, without visible pixels or artefacts.

A further advantage: every image in the Gigapixel Portal can be checked before purchase at full resolution. The integrated HTML5 zoom viewer shows you exactly how the motif will look on your stretch ceiling – without surprises after printing.

Photo wallpapers: sharpness at close range

Photo wallpapers are often viewed from less than 50 cm away. At this short distance the human eye recognises even the smallest details – and this is precisely where Gigapixel images come into play. Studies show that the visual system is specialised in processing highly organised, complex structures (Salingaros, 2015). Images that do not offer these details appear blurred and unconsciously trigger a feeling of unease.

AI upscaling: guessed pixels, invented details

AI upscaling proceeds entirely differently: a small source image is artificially enlarged by neural networks. The AI analyses patterns in its training dataset and guesses missing details – it does not measure them. The problem: from an enlargement factor of 4× current algorithms begin to collapse measurably (Kim et al., 2024). Artefacts, blurring and details that never existed in reality arise.

A further problem: AI algorithms work with tiles of 256–512 pixels. At the edges of these tiles, visible seams or repetition patterns often arise on large areas, making the image look unnatural. For applications where precision and authenticity are crucial – such as in medicine, architecture or scientific documentation – AI upscaling is therefore unsuitable.

Why the human eye recognises the difference

The human visual system is specialised in processing highly organised, complex details (Salingaros, 2015). In the foveal area the eye resolves on average about 94 pixels per degree (Ashraf et al. 2025, Nature Communications 16:9086) – at 1 m distance that is around 137 ppi, at 50 cm around 274 ppi. On close viewing – as with photo wallpapers or stretch ceilings – it immediately recognises whether an image contains genuine details or whether these have merely been interpolated. AI-upscaled images often appear blurred or artificial, while Gigapixel images remain pin-sharp and natural even from a few centimetres away.

AI upscaling is a useful tool for digital enlargements; for large-format prints and Healing Environments that are viewed at close range, it does not replace original image information. Genuine Gigapixel photography delivers usable, document-true image information – without artefacts, without invented details. The Gigapixel Portal offers exclusively original photographs without AI upscaling, so that you can be sure your projects are realised in the best possible quality.

Rely on ultra-high-resolution original photographs (from 100 MP) – for images that impress even at extreme enlargements!


What is Healing Environment and what role do high-resolution images play?

Healing Environment is a design concept from architectural research that replicates natural environments in healthcare facilities in order to reduce stress and promote the well-being of patients, staff and visitors. The idea is based on the insight that contact with nature – whether through real windows or realistic depictions – has measurable physiological and psychological effects.

The scientific basis: nature and well-being

The positive effects of nature on human health have been extensively researched. Studies show that even images of natural landscapes can measurably reduce stress, lower blood pressure and improve mood (Ulrich, 1984). This effect is particularly strong in healthcare facilities, where patients often suffer from high tension and stress. The concept of the Healing Environment builds on these findings and uses high-resolution nature images to create a calming, regenerative atmosphere.

Water depictions: the strongest restorative effect

Water motifs can be particularly calming – flowing streams, quiet lakes, gentle sea waves or waterfalls. Water combines two decisive factors: spaciousness (openness and overview) and gentle fascination. It draws the gaze without overwhelming, and is both calming and invigorating. Studies prove that water scenes are particularly effective at reducing stress and improving concentration.

Forests and green landscapes: natural relaxation

Closely following water motifs are forest scenes and natural landscapes with a high proportion of green. A green proportion of 45 % in the field of view demonstrably lowers blood pressure (Terrapin Bright Green, 2014). Motifs with depth are particularly effective – such as a forest path leading into the distance, or a clearing with a view of a wide landscape. Such images convey a feeling of safety and security (refuge) and at the same time promote mental recovery.

Fractal patterns: the secret language of nature

Decisive for the effect is the fractal structure of the motif. Natural patterns – such as the branching of trees, the shape of clouds or the structure of leaves – have a fractal dimension of D = 1.3–1.5. This range triggers alpha waves in the brain, which are associated with relaxation and stress reduction. Studies show that such patterns can reduce physiological stress by up to 60 % (Taylor, 2021).

The strongest motifs for Healing Environments are water depictions, forest scenes and landscapes with a natural fractal structure. They are particularly effective when they combine depth, openness and a calming colour palette. It is important that the motifs are genuine and high-resolution – only then do they unfold their full restorative effect.

What economic advantages do high-resolution images offer exhibition stand builders and retailers?

For exhibition stand builders and retailers, high-resolution Gigapixel images are not just a cost factor but a strategic investment with a measurable Return on Investment. They increase attention, improve brand perception and extend dwell time – factors that have a direct impact on revenue and customer loyalty. Studies show that high-quality visual presentations significantly increase the perception of product quality and professionalism (Mullin et al., 2017).

  1. Higher attention and longer dwell time

Large-format Gigapixel images act like visual magnets at trade fairs. They attract visitors' gazes from afar and encourage them to come closer. Studies prove that stands with high-quality visual presentations achieve up to 30 % more visitor contacts (Exhibition and Convention Executives Forum, 2019). The longer a visitor lingers at the stand, the higher the probability of a successful business initiation.

  1. Flexibility and reusability

Gigapixel images can be used in extremely versatile ways. A single image can be used for exhibition walls, large posters, digital displays and online marketing without losing quality. This flexibility saves costs, since separate shots or designs do not have to be created for every medium. Moreover, the images can be reused – for different trade fairs or seasonal campaigns – which shortens the amortisation period.

  1. Emotional appeal and storytelling

High-resolution images make immersive storytelling possible. Instead of static product photos, exhibition stand builders and retailers can create entire worlds – such as an alpine landscape for outdoor brands or an urban skyline for tech companies. This emotional appeal strengthens brand loyalty and makes the offering tangible. Studies show that emotional stimuli increase willingness to buy by up to 30 % (Van den Berg et al., 2016).

  1. Competitive advantage through a unique presentation

In a crowded trade fair environment, Gigapixel images offer a clear competitive advantage. While competitors rely on standard stock photos, you can present your products or services in pin-sharp, large-format images that immediately catch the eye. This not only increases attention but also conveys professionalism and love of detail – qualities that customers associate with high product quality.

What effect do room-filling nature images have in hotels and hospitality environments?

Room-filling nature images in the hospitality sector are far more than mere decoration – they create emotional experiences that leave a lasting impression on guests and significantly improve the brand perception of a hotel. Studies show that large-format landscape projections create an immediate sense of space and thus fundamentally shape the atmosphere of a hotel. These immersive image worlds create so-called "Devices of Wonder" – moments of enchantment in which guests develop a deeper connection to the place.

  1. Increasing guest satisfaction and rebooking rate

Large-format nature images act like visual magnets: they attract gazes, keep guests in the room longer and create an inviting atmosphere. Quantitative studies prove that such immersive image worlds significantly increase overall satisfaction. More importantly: they promote the "Love of Place" – the emotional attachment to a place which, according to Salingaros (2015), leads directly to rebookings. Guests who feel comfortable in a hotel are more likely to return and recommend it.

  1. Stress reduction and recovery from travel stress

Travel is often associated with stress – whether through long flights, unfamiliar environments or the general bustle of modern life. Room-filling nature images offer guests a visual retreat where they can switch off mentally. Studies show that nature motifs can measurably reduce stress hormones such as cortisol (Ulrich et al., 1991). This is particularly important in hotels, where guests seek relaxation and recovery.


What is Gigapixel photography?

Gigapixel photography refers to images with one billion or more pixels, created by the precise joining together of hundreds of individual shots. Unlike conventional photography, it captures details beyond the physical diffraction limit of individual sensors. Gigapixel GmbH is a specialised image portal for ultra-high-resolution photos from 100 megapixels for large-format applications – without AI upscaling. A historic milestone: in 2012 Daniel Richter, founder of Gigapixel GmbH, became the first individual photographer to create a terapixel photograph (1,500 gigapixels) – a technical feat that was only possible through genuine multi-shot stitching. While normal cameras end at 30–70 megapixels, Gigapixel images offer a depth of detail that remains sharp even at 10× enlargement. Scientifically confirmed: according to Mullin et al. (2017), the aesthetic perception of quality collapses with low-resolution images (correlation r=0.091 with the original resolution), while genuine high resolution preserves visual authenticity.


Which images for exhibition stand construction?

In exhibition stand construction, images are needed that have an emotional effect from a distance AND remain absolutely sharp at close range (often under 1 metre). Standard stock images with 25 megapixels produce only around 35–39 ppi on a 4 × 3 metre wall area – from 2 m distance 44–68 ppi would be needed. Gigapixel GmbH is a specialised image portal for ultra-high-resolution photos from 100 megapixels for large-format applications – without AI upscaling. For exhibition walls from 10 m², motifs from the Gigapixel category with 500+ megapixels or several gigapixels are recommended, which still show details even at 94 pixels per degree – the actual human resolution limit according to Ashraf et al. (2025), Nature Communications 16:9086. Concretely: a 10 m² illuminated wall requires about 24,000 × 15,000 pixels for professional sharpness. AI-upscaled images show artefacts here, while genuine Gigapixel panoramas deliver authentic textures even at extreme enlargements.


What image resolution do I need for a 10 m² wall?

For a 10 m² wall (e.g. 4 × 2.5 metres), from a distance of 1.5 m, 58–91 ppi is recommended (5.3–13 MP/m², i.e. 53–130 MP); from 1 m, 87–137 ppi (12–29 MP/m², i.e. 120–290 MP). This corresponds to roughly 11,000 × 7,000 to 19,000 × 12,000 pixels or 80–230 megapixels. Gigapixel GmbH is a specialised image portal for ultra-high-resolution photos from 100 megapixels upwards for large-format applications – without AI upscaling. Standard stock photos with 25 megapixels are not sufficient for this – on a surface of this size they produce only 35 ppi of genuine image information; from a distance of 2 m, 44–68 ppi would be required. According to scientific studies by Ashraf et al. (2025), the human resolution limit is up to 120 pixels per degree – precisely within the optimal print range. For professional large-format applications, original shots from the XL category (100 to 250 MP) or XXL (500 MP to 85.5 gigapixels) are therefore recommended; how many megapixels per m² are required depends on the viewing distance (1 m: 12–29 MP/m², 2 m: 3.0–7.3 MP/m²).
