The arithmetic
| Item | Value |

| Size | 30 x 40 in = 76.2 x 101.6 cm |
| Width in pixels | 30 x 100 = 3,000 |
| Height in pixels | 40 x 100 = 4,000 |
| Total | 12,000,000 pixels = 12.00 megapixels |
| Shape | portrait, ratio 3:4 |

Does my photo reach 30 x 40 inches?
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.
