Aspect ratio guides for print sizes
Nine photo and print shapes, each with its own guide: the exact listed sizes (or the three nearest where none match), the pixels needed at 100 pixels per inch, and how much of a photo is cut away when it is fitted to another shape.
All 9 ratios
| Ratio | Long / short | Exact listed sizes |
|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | 1.000 | 8 |
| 5:4 | 1.250 | 3 |
| 4:3 | 1.333 | 4 |
| 7:5 | 1.400 | 2 |
| 3:2 | 1.500 | 7 |
| 5:3 | 1.667 | 1 |
| 16:9 | 1.778 | 0 (nearest 3 shown) |
| 2:1 | 2.000 | 3 |
| A-series (1:1.414) | 1.414 | 2 |
For one table of all ratios see aspect ratios and listed sizes; for your own photo use the crop loss calculator; for pixels at each size see pixels needed for every size.
