Why 2MB Masters Matter

When you need exceptional quality without shipping multi-megabyte RAW files, 2MB is the practical compromise.

  • Press Media Kits
    Provide journalists with publication-ready artwork that downloads quickly and includes rights metadata.
  • Agency Collaboration
    Share creative masters with agencies or freelancers who need high-quality references without accessing raw archives.
  • Institutional Archives
    Catalog historical or brand assets in DAM systems with controlled file sizes and complete metadata.

2MB Master FAQ

What brand, press, and archive teams ask most often.

1

Is 2MB acceptable for print magazines?

For quarter- or half-page placements, yes. Include contact info so editors can request RAW files if needed.

2

Can I watermark masters?

Apply discreet watermarks or embed tracking pixels; the provenance checker ensures identified derivatives remain linked.

3

How do I manage expirations?

Set download expiry and review dates so outdated branding or licenses don’t circulate.

4

Does this replace cloud DAM access?

No—it complements DAM systems by generating standardized masters with full metadata for ingestion.
