How it works

1

Upload

Drop your photo into the box above — JPG, PNG or WebP. It is read locally; nothing is uploaded.

2

Resize

The dimensions are pre-set to 1200 × 1800 px (4 × 6 in). Keep “Crop to fill” on so the 2:3 ratio fills the print with no white bars, then hit Resize & download.

3

Download

Check the preview, then download and send the file to any photo lab or print kiosk.

Why 1200×1800 pixels?

The classic 4×6 inch snapshot is printed at 300 DPI — the resolution labs expect. 4 inches × 300 = 1200 pixels, 6 inches × 300 = 1800 pixels. Send exactly that and the lab prints your photo edge-to-edge with zero scaling surprises.

The key detail is the 2:3 ratio. Phone photos are usually 3:4 or 16:9, so something has to give — “Crop to fill” trims the long edges cleanly instead of squishing faces or leaving white bars.

Tips

  • Keep “Crop to fill” on. It trims edges to the exact 2:3 ratio — faces never look squished and there are no white bars.
  • 300 DPI is the lab standard. 1200×1800 at 300 DPI prints a razor-sharp 4×6. Lower DPI prints look soft.
  • JPEG for print labs. This tool saves photos as high-quality JPEG — the format every lab and kiosk accepts.
  • Check faces near edges. Cropping trims the long sides — make sure no faces sit at the very edge before downloading.
  • Portrait or landscape? This page pre-sets portrait 1200×1800. For a landscape 4×6, just swap the boxes to 1800×1200.

Common uses

  • Drugstore & lab prints — the standard 4×6 order at any photo counter or kiosk.
  • Photo albums — uniform 4×6 prints that fit classic album sleeves.
  • Framing — 4×6 is the most common small-frame size sold everywhere.
  • Postcards — 4×6 is the standard postcard size; print and mail.

Frequently asked questions

Is 1200×1800 the right size for 4×6 prints?

Yes — at 300 DPI (the lab standard), 4 inches = 1200 px and 6 inches = 1800 px. Exactly what this page pre-sets.

My photo is 16:9 — will it fit?

Yes, with “Crop to fill” the long edges are trimmed to the 2:3 ratio. Faces stay undistorted.

JPEG or PNG for printing?

JPEG. Labs and kiosks universally accept high-quality JPEG; PNGs are bigger with no visible print benefit.

Can I make a landscape 4×6?

Yes — swap the width and height boxes to 1800 × 1200. Same 2:3 ratio, rotated.

What DPI do labs want?

300 DPI. This page’s pixel dimensions assume exactly that — send the file as-is.
