What aspect ratio is 5×7?
A 5×7 print has a 5:7 aspect ratio. That is different from the 2:3 ratio of a 4×6 photo, so a typical 3:2 camera image needs a small crop to fill a 5×7 print without borders.
How the 5×7 pixel calculation works
Multiply 5 inches and 7 inches by the target PPI. At 300 PPI: 5×300 = 1500 pixels and 7×300 = 2100 pixels.
5 × 300 = 1500 px · 7 × 300 = 2100 px
5×7 print FAQ
Is 1500×2100 enough for a 5×7 print?
Yes, it provides 300 PPI at exactly 5×7 inches.
Can a 1200×1800 photo print at 5×7?
It has enough pixels for many uses, but its 2:3 shape does not match 5:7. Filling 5×7 edge to edge requires cropping.
What size frame fits a 5×7 photo?
A 5×7 frame is the direct no-mat match. A larger frame can be used with a mat sized for a 5×7 opening.
