How to resize an image to 1500x2100
- Choose or drop your images above.
- Keep “Crop to fill” for an exact 1500x2100 result, or pick “Fit inside” to avoid cropping.
- Download the resized files individually or as a ZIP.
About 1500x2100 pixels
A 1500x2100 image is portrait, with an aspect ratio of 5:7, and holds 3.15 megapixels. At 300 DPI it would print at about 5.0 x 7.0 inches (12.7 x 17.8 cm). As a JPEG it usually lands between 346KB and 692KB, depending on the picture and the quality you choose.
Where 1500x2100 is used
The size of a 5 by 7 inch print at 300 DPI, common for frames and greeting cards.
- Crop to the head and shoulders with the face centred, then resize.
- Use good, even light. Shadows on the face are the most common reason photos are rejected.
- Check the exact rules of the form or agency. Some also set a minimum file size or a plain background.
Crop to fill or fit inside?
Crop to fill always gives exactly 1500x2100 by trimming the edges that do not match the shape. Fit inside keeps the whole picture and scales it so neither side exceeds 1500x2100, which can leave one side shorter. For a typical 4:3 phone photo, crop to fill removes about 46% of the picture. A 3:2 camera photo loses about 52%, a 16:9 screenshot about 60%, and a square image about 29%.
Quality and format
Check the result before you upload
Open the finished file and check three things: the picture measures 1500x2100, the subject is not cut off, and the file is small enough for where you upload it. If a platform sets a size limit, run the result through the online compression tool or choose a limit such as 200KB.
A tip for this size
Use a sharp original, since prints show soft detail more than screens do. Need another size? Try 1200x1800, 2000x3000, 1000x1500, the general image resizer, or browse every size preset.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my image not exactly 1500x2100?
You are probably using Fit inside, which never crops. Switch to Crop to fill for exact dimensions.
How big will a 1500x2100 file be?
As a JPEG, usually between 346KB and 692KB. Photos with lots of fine detail come out larger, and simple graphics smaller. Lower the quality for a smaller file.
Is 1500x2100 the right size for 5 by 7 inch prints?
It is a widely used size for 5 by 7 inch prints, but platforms and agencies change their rules. Check the current guidelines before you upload.
Will a small photo look blurry at 1500x2100?
If the original is smaller than this size, the tool has to enlarge it, and the result can look soft. Start from the largest version you have.
