5×7 Photo Size in Pixels – PrintPixel Tool
A 5×7 inch print is the classic size for a desk frame — noticeably larger than 4×6, with a more square 5:7 ratio. Here are the pixel counts you need for one.
| Resolution | Pixels |
|---|---|
| 300 PPI | 1500 × 2100 px |
| 240 PPI | 1200 × 1680 px |
| 200 PPI | 1000 × 1400 px |
| 150 PPI | 750 × 1050 px |
Pixel dimensions are computed from the physical size of 5 × 7 in at each resolution.
5 × 7 in at common resolutions
| Resolution | Pixels | Physical size |
|---|---|---|
| 300 PPI | 1500 × 2100 px | 12.7 × 17.8 cm |
| 240 PPI | 1200 × 1680 px | 12.7 × 17.8 cm |
| 200 PPI | 1000 × 1400 px | 12.7 × 17.8 cm |
| 150 PPI | 750 × 1050 px | 12.7 × 17.8 cm |
Pixel counts are computed from the real physical dimensions of 5 × 7 in at each resolution — they are not hard-coded. To get these values for any other print size, use the calculator above.
Practical details
A 5×7 at 300 PPI needs 1500 × 2100 pixels. Because its 5:7 ratio is more square than the 3:2 of a typical camera photo, expect to crop a little off the sides of landscape shots (or the top and bottom of portrait ones) when printing 5×7.
At 240 PPI, 1200 × 1680 pixels still gives a print that looks sharp at normal viewing distance — a good balance if you're working with an older phone photo.
