Photo print size in pixels
5×7 Print Size in Pixels
A 5 × 7 inch print needs 1500 × 2100 pixels at 300 PPI. It measures 12.7 × 17.78 cm and has a 5:7 aspect ratio.
5 × 7 in at 300 PPI: 1500 × 2100 px (3.2 MP)
At 240 PPI: 1200 × 1680 px · at 150 PPI: 750 × 1050 px
5×7 in pixels at each density
Multiply each inch dimension by the density. The results are exact because both sides are whole inches.
| Density | Portrait | Landscape | Megapixels |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150 PPI | 750 × 1050 | 1050 × 750 | 0.8 |
| 200 PPI | 1000 × 1400 | 1400 × 1000 | 1.4 |
| 240 PPI | 1200 × 1680 | 1680 × 1200 | 2 |
| 300 PPI | 1500 × 2100 | 2100 × 1500 | 3.2 |

Nearest-pixel rounding can fall slightly below the target on one axis. Use Round up when the target is a strict minimum.
This is the canvas size. Changing a file’s PPI metadata alone does not create these pixels.

Will my photo fit 5×7 without cropping?
5 × 7 inches is a common size for framed photos and cards. Its 5:7 proportion is squarer than a camera’s 3:2, so expect a small crop on the long side.
| Example source | Cropped pixels | Image kept | Density at 7 × 5 in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3:2 camera frame6000 × 4000 px | 5600 × 4000 | 93.3% | 800 PPI |
| 4:3 phone frame4032 × 3024 px | 4032 × 2880 | 95.2% | 576 PPI |
| 16:9 video frame3840 × 2160 px | 3024 × 2160 | 78.8% | 432 PPI |

How many megapixels does a 5×7 print need?
At 300 PPI the print needs 3.2 megapixels after any crop; at 240 PPI, 2 MP; at 150 PPI, 0.8 MP. These are arithmetic targets, not a promise of print quality: focus, noise and viewing distance matter too.
Changing an image’s PPI setting without resampling only changes its intended print size. Read what changing DPI actually does before upsizing a file.
