How it works

A useful answer,
with the math visible.

Scale an image proportionally to a target width or height and see common print-ratio matches. Adjust the fields above and the result updates immediately—there is no upload, account or hidden processing step.

FORMULATarget height = target width × original height ÷ original width

Worked example

A 3:2 photograph printed 12 in wide is 8 in high without cropping.

Before you send the file

  • Changing only one dimension preserves the original ratio.
  • A different paper ratio requires cropping or adding borders.
  • Check pixel resolution separately before printing at the calculated size.
Production note

This calculator is a planning aid. Materials, equipment and supplier tolerances vary, so verify final specifications with the printer or carrier responsible for production.
