What is 5 × 7 at 300 PPI?

5 × 7 in portrait orientation is 1500 × 2100 pixels at 300 PPI. Landscape uses the same two values in reverse order.

What aspect ratio is 5 × 7?

5 × 7 uses a 5:7 aspect ratio. An image with a different ratio must be cropped, fitted with borders or placed inside the page.

Does the 5 × 7 pixel size include bleed?

No. The table uses final trim dimensions. Add the exact bleed required by the printer to both sides before calculating the full artwork canvas.

Will a 4 × 6 photo crop when printed at 5 × 7?

Usually yes when printed edge to edge. A 4 × 6 uses a 2:3 ratio, while 5 × 7 uses 5:7, so about 6.7% of a 3:2 image area is removed in a fill crop.

5×7 Photo Size: Pixels, Inches and Aspect Ratio

5 × 7 photo measures 127 × 177.8 mm. Its pixel dimensions change with PPI; the physical trim size does not.

Quick answer

A 5 × 7 inch photo measures 127 × 177.8 mm and needs 1500 × 2100 pixels at 300 PPI. Its 5:7 ratio crops about 6.7% of a typical 3:2 camera frame when filled edge to edge.

Crop warning

A 3:2 photo loses about 6.7%

A 3:2 image is slightly wider than a 5:7 frame. Filling the print retains about 93.3% of the image area; fitting the whole image may leave borders.

Before ordering

Protect faces and text near the edge

Photo labs can apply a small production crop beyond the ratio calculation. Keep critical details away from the edge and confirm border options.

Print setup

Trim first. Add production values second.

5 × 7 identifies the final physical format. Bleed expands the artwork beyond that edge; a safe margin moves important content inward. Those extra values depend on the print provider.
