# 4 × 6 inch Photo Print Size Calculator

Calculate pixels for a 4x6 photo at 150, 240 or 300 PPI. Check your image resolution and cropping before ordering a standard photo print.

## Pixel dimensions for 4 × 6 inch prints

Paper dimensions: 101.6 × 152.4 mm, or 10.16 × 15.24 cm.

Required pixels = print dimensions in inches × pixels per inch (PPI), rounded up. These comparison values are planning targets; follow your print provider's requirements.

Pixel requirements, short edge × long edge| Print resolution | Pixel dimensions |
| --- | --- |
| 150 PPI | 600 × 900 px |
| --- |
| 240 PPI | 960 × 1,440 px |
| --- |
| 300 PPI | 1,200 × 1,800 px |
| --- |

PPI describes the image on paper. The printer's ink-dot DPI and a scanner's capture DPI are different measurements. Changing a DPI metadata tag alone does not add image detail.

## Will your image fit this print?

Enter the original file's pixel dimensions. This calculator checks both orientations and uses no uploads.

Image width (pixels)Image height (pixels)

Fill paper (crop)**266.7 PPI**

Image area removed**11.1%**

Pixels after crop (short × long edge)**1,067 × 1,600 px**

Fit whole image (borders)**4 × 5.3 in at 300 PPI**

Proportions only, shown upright. The fill illustration uses a centered crop; your lab may position or trim it differently.

These are geometric estimates. They do not measure sharpness or simulate your printer's crop position, margins or bleed.

## Crop, borders and framing

A 4 × 6 print has a 2:3 aspect ratio. A phone image with a 3:4 ratio needs a crop or borders. Preview the lab's crop and keep faces, dates and handwritten edges away from the trim area.

## A worked example

A portrait phone photo at 1200 × 1600 pixels fits with borders, or crops to about 1067 × 1600 pixels to fill a 4 × 6 print. Filling retains about 88.9% of the image area.

## Can I print a 1200 × 1800 image at 4 × 6?

Yes. It matches the 2:3 ratio and provides 300 pixels per inch without cropping. Visible quality still depends on focus, compression and source detail.

## Prepare your restored photograph

Keep an untouched scan. Review faces, writing and fine details before printing an AI edit. A larger pixel count can include inferred detail; it does not certify historical accuracy. Order a small proof before a valuable enlargement.
