Standard photo sizes vary depending on the purpose and medium of the photo. Here are some common standard photo sizes:
-
4x6 inches: This is arguably the most popular size for photo prints, fitting into a 3:2 aspect ratio and making it perfect for framed greeting cards, postcards, photos, and more. Shoot for 1200 x 1800 pixels for the highest quality resolution.
-
5x7 inches: Measuring slightly larger than 4x6 inches, the 5x7 inches is a great size for smaller photo prints and artwork. Shoot for 1500 x 2100 pixels for the highest quality resolution.
-
8x10 inches: This size is commonly used for portraits and larger photo prints. Shoot for 2400 x 3000 pixels for the highest quality resolution.
-
11x14 inches: This size is suitable for larger photo prints and artwork. Shoot for 3300 x 4200 pixels for the highest quality resolution.
-
16x20 inches: This size is commonly used for larger photo prints and artwork. Shoot for 4800 x 6000 pixels for the highest quality resolution.
-
18x24 inches: This size is suitable for larger photo prints and artwork. Shoot for 5400 x 7200 pixels for the highest quality resolution.
Its important to note that the aspect ratios of photographic prints vary, so exact scaling of prints is not always possible. However, some logical correspondences are between the sizes.
