About 2400x3000 pixels

A 2400x3000 image is portrait, with an aspect ratio of 4:5, and holds 7.20 megapixels. At 300 DPI it would print at about 8.0 x 10.0 inches (20.3 x 25.4 cm). As a JPEG it usually lands between 791KB and 1.5MB, depending on the picture and the quality you choose.

Where 2400x3000 is used

The size of an 8 by 10 inch print at 300 DPI, common for portraits and wall frames.

  • 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 the head and shoulders with the face centred, then resize.

Crop to fill or fit inside?

Crop to fill always gives exactly 2400x3000 by trimming the edges that do not match the shape. Fit inside keeps the whole picture and scales it so neither side exceeds 2400x3000, which can leave one side shorter. For a typical 4:3 phone photo, crop to fill removes about 40% of the picture. A 3:2 camera photo loses about 47%, a 16:9 screenshot about 55%, and a square image about 20%.

Quality and format

Check the result before you upload

Open the finished file and check three things: the picture measures 2400x3000, 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

Start from a high-resolution photo. A small original will print soft at this size. Need another size? Try 2000x3000, 3000x3000, 1500x2100, the general image resizer, or browse every size preset.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my image not exactly 2400x3000?

You are probably using Fit inside, which never crops. Switch to Crop to fill for exact dimensions.

How big will a 2400x3000 file be?

As a JPEG, usually between 791KB and 1.5MB. Photos with lots of fine detail come out larger, and simple graphics smaller. Lower the quality for a smaller file.

Is 2400x3000 the right size for 8 by 10 inch prints?

It is a widely used size for 8 by 10 inch prints, but platforms and agencies change their rules. Check the current guidelines before you upload.

Will a small photo look blurry at 2400x3000?

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.
