Plan a print before sending it
- Load an image or enter its pixel width and height.
- Choose a target PPI based on expected viewing distance and detail needs.
- Compare the result with common print sizes before cropping or ordering.
Photo Print Size Calculator
Convert image pixels and target PPI into physical print dimensions and compare common photo sizes locally.

| Print size | Effective PPI | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| 4 × 6 in | 333 PPI | Excellent |
| 5 × 7 in | 286 PPI | Good |
| 8 × 10 in | 200 PPI | Acceptable |
| 8.5 × 11 in | 182 PPI | Acceptable |
| 11 × 14 in | 143 PPI | Low |
| 12 × 18 in | 111 PPI | Low |
| 16 × 20 in | 100 PPI | Low |
| 20 × 30 in | 67 PPI | Low |
A print-size decision is a relationship between source pixels, physical inches, and viewing distance. This calculator makes that relationship explicit instead of reducing everything to a single vague DPI label.
How OpenFileTools processes it
Local processing, explicit choices.
All calculations are deterministic pixel-to-physical-size math performed in the browser; an uploaded image is used only to fill its dimensions.
Questions, answered.
What PPI should I use?
300 PPI is a strong close-view target; 240 can still be excellent for many prints, while lower values may be acceptable at greater viewing distances.
Does this resize the image?
No. It is a planning calculator.
