2.5 × 3.5 in in pixels
Pixels = size in inches × DPI. DPI is a printing instruction, not a quality setting: it says how many pixels are spread over each inch of paper. With the DPI field on Auto, ResizeAny converts at 96 DPI, which suits screens. For print, set 300 DPI. JPG and PNG output stores the DPI value in the file.
| DPI | Use | Pixel size |
|---|---|---|
| 72 | Screen preview | 180 × 252 |
| 96 | Tool default (Auto) | 240 × 336 |
| 150 | Large posters, viewed from a distance | 375 × 525 |
| 300 | Photos, cards, anything held close | 750 × 1050 |
Will your photo be sharp enough?
A 12-megapixel phone photo (4000 × 3000) has more than the 750 × 1050 pixels this size needs at 300 DPI, so it can be printed sharply with room left to crop.
Needed source resolution: 0.8 megapixels or more at 300 DPI.
Matching the 5:7 shape
The output is 5:7. If your photo has another shape, it has to be cropped or it will be stretched. This is how much of each common photo is lost when cropped to fill 5:7:
| Starting photo | Cropped away to fill the shape |
|---|---|
| Phone photo (4000 × 3000, 4:3) | About 46% of the image |
| DSLR photo (6000 × 4000, 3:2) | About 52% of the image |
| Video frame (1920 × 1080, 16:9) | About 60% of the image |
| Portrait phone photo (3000 × 4000, 3:4) | About 5% of the image |
