Print Size Calculator
See how large your image can print at useful quality targets.
- ✓Calculate inches and centimeters.
- ✓Compare 300, 240, and 150 PPI.
- ✓Use actual pixel dimensions.
Plan a print without uploading a photo
Enter pixel dimensions and a desired print size. Calculate effective PPI and the pixels retained when filling the print with a centered crop. You can also use the dimensions from your image analysis below.

Fill uses a centered crop; fit keeps the whole image and leaves margins. PPI = available pixels ÷ inches. The calculation predicts pixel density, not sharpness, color accuracy or printer quality. Changing a DPI tag does not add detail.

Practical examples and limitations
When to use this tool
Plan both the size and shape of a print before ordering it. The fixed PPI table answers how large the complete image can be, while the planner calculates whether a specific paper size fits and how much a fill crop removes. You can calculate from known dimensions without selecting a photo.
Worked example
A 3000 × 2400 image matches a 10 × 8 inch print at 300 PPI with no crop. On a 12 × 8 inch print, filling the paper retains 3000 × 2000 pixels: 16.7% of the pixels are cropped and the effective density is 250 PPI. Keeping the entire image produces a 10 × 8 inch picture with margins on that paper.
What to check before using the result
A print meeting 300 PPI is not guaranteed to be sharp. Motion blur, focus, strong compression, paper, printer and viewing distance all matter. The fill estimate uses a centered crop, but a print shop may place the crop differently or require bleed. Review the shop’s preview and keep faces away from trimmed edges.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which PPI should I use for printing?+
300 PPI is common for close-viewed prints, while 240 or 150 PPI can work for larger prints viewed farther away. Printer, paper, image quality, and viewing distance matter.
