Photo Touch-Up for Jewellery E-commerce — HD vs Ultra-HD vs 4K vs Print Master
HD 1024px for Instagram + WhatsApp broadcasts. Ultra-HD 2048px for e-commerce product tiles + retail websites. 4K 4096px for PDF lookbooks + printed flyers up to A5. 8K Print Master ~7680px for banners, billboards and 300 DPI large-format. A cost-vs-use-case chart for atelier marketing teams.
Four tiers, four use cases
Facetra's jewellery photo touch-up ships in four resolution tiers, priced per credit. Picking the right tier saves you credits without sacrificing quality — over-shooting to 8K when you need Instagram wastes budget; under-shooting to HD when you need a banner wastes the impression.
HD — 1024 px longest edge (1 credit ≈ ₹12)
Sized for feed contexts where the image is displayed at ~500-800px on a phone screen. Perfect for:
- Instagram feed posts (1080×1080 native, 1024 is imperceptibly different once compressed)
- WhatsApp broadcast images (WhatsApp downscales aggressively anyway)
- Facebook / Meta ads at feed placement
- LinkedIn company-page posts
- Blog thumbnails and article lead images
Don't use for: any print material, any e-commerce product-page hero, any billboard, any A4 flyer.
Ultra-HD — 2048 px longest edge (2 credits ≈ ₹24)
Sized for retail-context viewing where the user zooms and inspects detail. Ideal for:
- E-commerce product-page hero images (Shopify / WooCommerce / Magento product-detail slot)
- Retail website category tiles
- Instagram carousel single-image posts where users tap-to-zoom
- Landing-page hero rotators
- Email newsletter hero images (@1x + @2x Retina versions)
Ultra-HD is the workhorse tier for atelier e-commerce. If you have to pick one tier for a whole catalogue, this is it.
4K — 4096 px longest edge (3 credits ≈ ₹36)
Sized for print at A5 or half-page magazine placements, and for high-density retina displays that show every pixel. Use for:
- PDF lookbooks and catalogues (A5 spreads with the piece filling the page)
- Printed brochures and marketing collateral
- Magazine ads up to half-page
- Trade-show pull-ups (small size, viewed from 1-2 metres)
- Retina-display large-format website hero images
8K Print Master — ~7680 px longest edge (5 credits ≈ ₹60)
Sized for large-format print at 300 DPI where every strand of a pearl or every facet of a Polki chaton must render sharp under bright store lighting. Powered by Gemini touch-up + fal.ai clarity upscaler in tandem. Use for:
- Billboards and hoardings (city-centre hoardings viewed from 5-30 metres)
- Storefront window graphics and light boxes
- Trade-show large-format pull-ups (2m+ height)
- Full-page magazine ads (Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Femina, Hello!)
- Full-bleed A3+ printed lookbooks
- Any 300 DPI print material where the piece fills more than half the page
8K Print Master is the difference between a billboard that reads "gorgeous piece" from 20 metres and a billboard that reads "gorgeous piece — plus you can count the granulation beads" from 5 metres.

Every tier also supports style pipelines (Diamond / Gold / Kundan / Jadau) that use style-specific handling — foil-back glow preservation on Kundan, facet-clarity + light-play on Diamond, karat-warmth on Gold, uncut-stone diffuse lighting on Jadau.
