8×10 Photo Size in Pixels – PrintPixel Tool
An 8×10 inch print is the classic frame size — 4:5, noticeably more square than the photos your camera takes. Here's how many pixels a sharp 8×10 needs.
| Resolution | Pixels |
|---|---|
| 300 PPI | 2400 × 3000 px |
| 240 PPI | 1920 × 2400 px |
| 200 PPI | 1600 × 2000 px |
| 150 PPI | 1200 × 1500 px |
Pixel dimensions are computed from the physical size of 8 × 10 in at each resolution.
8 × 10 in at common resolutions
| Resolution | Pixels | Physical size |
|---|---|---|
| 300 PPI | 2400 × 3000 px | 20.3 × 25.4 cm |
| 240 PPI | 1920 × 2400 px | 20.3 × 25.4 cm |
| 200 PPI | 1600 × 2000 px | 20.3 × 25.4 cm |
| 150 PPI | 1200 × 1500 px | 20.3 × 25.4 cm |
Pixel counts are computed from the real physical dimensions of 8 × 10 in at each resolution — they are not hard-coded. To get these values for any other print size, use the calculator above.
Practical details
An 8×10 at 300 PPI needs 2400 × 3000 pixels — roughly 7 MP. Because 8×10 is 4:5, photos shot at 4:3 (many phones) or 3:2 (most DSLRs) will need cropping on the long edges to fit without stretching.
At 240 PPI, 1920 × 2400 pixels is enough for a crisp print at a normal viewing distance. If you plan to display an 8×10 in a frame viewed from a few feet away, 200 PPI (1600 × 2000 px) is often entirely acceptable too.
