3:2 is the shape of the most common photo print — 6 × 4 inches, or 10 × 15 cm — and of DSLR and mirrorless camera sensors.

Phone photos are 4:3. Send one straight to a printing service and the lab trims it to 3:2 however it sees fit, often slicing through heads. Cropping yourself first decides what gets cut.

Crop all the photos of an order in the same session so the set looks consistent.

How to use it

  1. Drop in each photo you’re printing.
  2. Move the 3:2 box so nothing important sits on the edge.
  3. Crop, download, and send those files to the lab.

Frequently asked questions

Which print sizes are 3:2?

6 × 4 in (10 × 15 cm), 12 × 8 in and 18 × 12 in. 5 × 7 and 8 × 10 are different shapes.

What resolution do I need for a good 6 × 4 print?

About 1800 × 1200 pixels (300 dpi). Any modern phone photo has far more.

Why did my prints come back cropped?

Because the photos were 4:3 and the paper is 3:2. Cropping before ordering prevents it.
