Photo sizes: print size chart

14 photo print sizes, from wallet (2.5 × 3.5 in) to 30x40, as two photo labs and, for 2x2, the U.S. Department of State list them. For each: inches, cm, shape, and the pixels a photo needs to fill it at 300 and 150 DPI.

Inches come from the source pages. The cm column is the lab’s own figure, except where marked “worked out” (inches × 2.54). Pixels are inches × DPI. “2:3 photo kept” is how much of a 2:3 camera photo is left after cropping it to that print’s shape.

For a US passport photo (the 2x2 row), a plain crop isn't enough: head size and background have rules too. The passport photo maker checks those and makes a print sheet.

Crop a photo to a print size

Pick a size and orientation. The download is the 300 DPI pixel size for that print, with 300 DPI written into the file.

Which DPI to use

WHCC Help, Image Resolution says “the original file needs to be as close to the desired print size as possible when it’s at 300ppi”. That is the 300 DPI column. The 150 DPI column is half of it: a photo that only reaches it will print, but with less fine detail. To see what your own photo reaches, drop it in the DPI Checker or convert with Pixels to Inches.

Sizes that share a shape

Sizes with the same ratio take the same crop. WHCC Help, Crop Ratios says: “If a file with a 2:3 ratio is ordered at a print size with a 4:5 ratio, some cropping will have to occur to make the fit.” To find your photo’s ratio, use the Aspect Ratio Finder.

This chart lists the sizes the linked labs publish; it isn’t every size a lab can print, and labs round some sizes differently. Check your lab’s own size list before you order.
