Etsy Printable Size Guide
Plan Etsy printable wall art with common 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:7 and 11:14 ratios, plus pixel requirements and a free print-size calculator.
Common ratio families
Printable wall art is often packaged around 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:7 and 11:14 families. A single file can cover multiple sizes only when those sizes share the same aspect ratio.
Pixels determine usable print size
At 300 PPI, multiply inches by 300. A 20×30 inch 2:3 print requires 6000×9000 pixels for a true 300 PPI output.
Package for the buyer
Use clear file names, a size guide and concise printing instructions. If selling on Etsy, also keep the platform file-count and per-file size limits in mind.
Example: one artwork, several ratio families
A printable bundle often needs more than one master because 8×10, 11×14 and 12×18 do not share the same shape.
| Ratio family | Common sizes |
|---|---|
| 2:3 | 4×6, 8×12, 12×18, 16×24, 20×30, 24×36 |
| 4:5 | 8×10, 12×15, 16×20 |
| 3:4 | 6×8, 9×12, 12×16, 18×24 |
| 11:14 | 11×14, 22×28 |
Why buyers get confused
A size list without ratio context makes buyers assume every file can print at every shape without cropping. Group sizes by ratio and label the corresponding file clearly.
Build the bundle from the largest promised size
- Choose the largest size in each ratio family.
- Calculate required pixels at your target PPI.
- Create or export the master for that ratio.
- Test smaller sizes from the same ratio family.
Frequently asked questions
What ratios should I include for Etsy wall art?
2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:7 and 11:14 cover many common frame sizes, though your exact bundle should match what you promise in the listing.
Do all sizes need separate files?
Not always. Sizes sharing one aspect ratio can use the same master if it has enough pixels for the largest promised print.
How many pixels do I need at 300 PPI?
Multiply the intended print width and height in inches by 300.
