PrintPixel5×7 Photo Size in Pixels
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.
5×7 is a portrait-friendly frame size, used for bedside and desk frames where a small group shot or a single portrait works well. Its 5:7 ratio sits between the 3:2 of a typical photo and the 4:5 of an 8×10, so almost every photo needs a modest crop — plan to leave a little room around your subject when you frame the shot.
Looking for a bigger print? The 8×10 photo size in pixels page covers the classic frame size, and 11×14 photo size in pixels is a larger intermediate option. If you're comparing with the everyday snapshot, 4×6 photo size in pixels shows how small you can go. To see how your camera's ratio maps to a 5×7 frame, the aspect ratio calculator previews the crop boundaries visually. To check whether your specific image is large enough for a 5×7 print, the image print size calculator shows the exact resolution and whether any cropping is needed for the 5:7 ratio.
