Resize to 4×6

What a 4×6 print is

4 × 6 inches (10 × 15 cm) is the standard photo print size at pharmacies, photo kiosks and online print services. Printers print at about 300 dots per inch, so a sharp 4 × 6 needs 1800 × 1200 pixels. The shape is 3:2, slightly longer than the 4:3 shape most phones use, which is why prints often come back with heads trimmed or white strips on the sides.

Our preset uses 300 dpi.

How to do it here

1. 4×6 in (1800×1200) is selected in the Print deck. For a portrait print, type 1200 × 1800 under Pixels.
2. Drop your photo and drag the bright box: this is exactly the area that will be printed.
3. Hit Repixel it ✨. The badge confirms 1800 × 1200 px. Download and send it to your printer or print service.

Tips for better prints

• Use the original photo. WhatsApp and social media copies are much smaller than the original and print blurry.
• Choose “fit” or “no crop” at the printer. Your file is already the right shape; letting the printer crop again can trim edges.
• Check faces near the edges. Group photos lose people at the sides when the shape changes; drag the box to balance it.
• Printing passport photos? Make the photo with 2×2 passport photo or Passport size photo first. Ask the print shop to print it at its exact size on a 4 × 6 sheet.

Other print sizes

For frames, Resize to 5×7 gives 2100 × 1500 px. The Print deck also has 8 × 10 and A4. Everything is processed on your device; your family photos never leave it.

Landscape or portrait?

Turn your phone the way the photo was taken. A landscape photo prints at 1800 × 1200 (6 inches wide); a portrait photo prints at 1200 × 1800 (4 inches wide). Choosing the wrong one crops away most of the picture, which is the most common surprise at the print counter. The preview on the canvas shows exactly which part will be printed, so you can check before you download.
