Making an image much bigger

[eric0D4C]

Hi! It's quite simple... I have a pixel art image. It's the Zelda map. I found it here: I would lik eto make it bigger and print it out.  When I say bigger, I mean 1m high. The image is now 50cm high. When I zoom in on photoqhop, It doesn't get blurry because it's pixel art.  But if I change the image size, it become blury.

Is there a way to make this kind of image bigger? I undersatnd that it would be complecated with a normal photo, but this one, because it's "pixel art", I some how image it would be easyier. Is there a way to change the pixel size? (what size is a pizel anyway??)

I hope someone can help me figure out a way...

Thanks in advance!!

Just uncheck resampling and then you will see the resolution change as you increase the physical size. That is no problem though, the image is still made of the same number of pixels. Just less of those pixels in an inch.

If the printer can't handle an image with so few pixels then check resample and resize but change the sample method to Nearest Neighbour.

A pixel is the smallest unit in a rasterised (i.e. pixel based) image. It has no physical size as such. That is dependant on the output device being used to display it.

Wow! how simple! Thank you very much for taking the time to answer. It worked perfectly! I  will ask the printer about the best settings.
