Resize a photo to 4 × 6 inches

Resize a photo to 4 x 6 inches, saved as 1200 x 1800 pixels at 300 DPI, ready to print at a shop or at home. You choose how it fits. Free and private.

Before you start

4 × 6 inches (about 10 × 15 cm) is the standard size of a photo print, and the size of the paper that photo shops and photo printers use. It is also the size of the print sheet SafeResize makes for passport photos, with several photos on one 4 × 6 sheet.

At 300 DPI, a 4 × 6 inch photo is 1200 × 1800 pixels. Most phone photos are not 2 by 3 in shape, so you choose: "Fill the frame" cuts a little off the edges, and "Show all of it" keeps the whole photo and adds white bars.

Tips

Questions and answers

Is 4x6 inches the same as 10x15 cm?

Very close. 4 × 6 inches is 10.2 × 15.2 cm. Print shops often sell 10 × 15 cm paper, which is slightly smaller, so the edges of a photo may be trimmed.

How many pixels should a 4x6 photo have?

1200 × 1800 pixels at 300 DPI, which is sharp on paper. A bigger picture is fine, but a much smaller one can look soft when printed.

Will it stretch my photo?

No. It is never stretched. You choose whether to cut off the edges or to add white edges.
