The arithmetic

| Size | 12 x 12 in = 30.5 x 30.5 cm |
| Width in pixels | 12 x 100 = 1,200 |
| Height in pixels | 12 x 100 = 1,200 |
| Total | 1,440,000 pixels = 1.44 megapixels |
| Shape | square, ratio 1:1 |

Compare your photo's pixel size with the table. A photo below the target can still be ordered; the studio shows a friendly note, because a photo with fewer pixels can look softer on a larger print.
