For a poster, the optimal resolution is 300 DPI (dots per inch). This ensures that the images and text are sharp and clear when printed. For larger posters, such as those 24x36 inches and above, you may work with dimensions of 7200x10800 pixels. Always use high-quality images and software that supports high resolutions to maintain clarity.
