Preferred file formats are SVG or PNG. Other formats will be accepted, including PDF, JPG, JPEG, TIF, and TIFF.
Bitmap files are recommended to be 300ppi resolution at the enlarged printed size for print image to be of the highest quality. That means, for example, if your image is going to be 8″ x 10″, then the pixel dimensions you should find in file properties would be (8″ x 300ppi) x (10″ x 300ppi) = 2400 x 3000 pixel dimension for the highest quality.
If you are unsure about resolution or any aspect of your artwork, PLEASE ASK!
