8×10 Photo Size: Pixels, Inches and Crop Ratio

8 × 10 photo measures 203.2 × 254 mm. Its pixel dimensions change with PPI; the physical trim size does not.

Quick answer

An 8 × 10 inch photo measures 203.2 × 254 mm and needs 2400 × 3000 pixels at 300 PPI. Its 4:5 aspect ratio is less wide than a common 3:2 camera image.

A 3:2 image loses about 16.7%

Filling an 8 × 10 frame with a 3:2 image retains about 83.3% of the image area. Reposition the crop to protect the subject.

16 × 20 uses the same 4:5 shape

Once an image is cropped to 4:5, it also fits a 16 × 20 frame by ratio—but the larger print needs more pixels for the same PPI.

Print setup

Trim first. Add production values second.

8 × 10 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.
