Why Resize to 4x6?

  • Photo Albums: The most common size for family photo albums is 4x6 inches (also known as 4R).
  • Picture Frames: A standard desk frame usually fits a 4x6 photo perfectly.
  • Postcards: Standard postcards adhere to the 4x6 inch dimension for mailing.
  • Cost Effective: Printing 4x6 photos at kiosks (like Walmart, Walgreens, or CVS) is often the cheapest option.

Printing Tips

  • Use High Res: Our tool converts your image to 1200x1800 pixels. This ensures that when printed, the image is sharp (300 dots per inch).
  • Check Margins: If you plan to frame the photo, ensure important details (like faces) aren't too close to the very edge of the crop area.
  • Paper Type: When printing, choose "Glossy" for vibrant colors or "Matte" for a classic look without fingerprints.

  • Precise 2:3 Aspect Ratio: We lock the cropping tool to a 2:3 (or 3:2) ratio, so you can see exactly what will be included in the print and what will be cut off.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is 4R size?

4R is the standard term used in photo processing for prints that measure 4 inches by 6 inches (approximately 102mm x 152mm).

Will this tool make my blurry photo clear?

Resizing cannot fix a blurry source image. However, resizing a large image down to 4x6 size often makes it appear sharper because the pixels are condensed.

Is this free?
