Questions about a 1600 x 1200 pixel photo
What is the largest print I can make from a 1600 x 1200 pixel photo?
At the ArtzFolio standard of 100 pixels per inch it is 16 x 12 inches (40.6 x 30.5 cm). The largest listed size that meets the standard is 12 x 12 inches.
Can I still order a size that needs more pixels?
Yes. The studio shows a friendly note because the picture may look softer at that size, and you decide. The photo size check checks any photo you have.
How many of the 34 listed sizes does this photo meet?
14 of 34 meet the standard. The smallest size that needs more pixels is 11.7 x 16.5 inches.
Does it matter whether the print is portrait or landscape?
No. The check treats a size and its turned version the same, so a photo held upright needs the same pixel counts as one held sideways.
What if my photo is not a 4:3 shape?
A listed size with another shape may trim part of the picture. The crop loss calculator shows how much is lost for each shape, and the largest print size page lists the largest print for your own pixel size.
