# Print Ready Check

> A private, browser-based utility that checks image print resolution and PDF page sizes without uploading your files. Free, no account, and files never leave the browser.

Key facts:
- Print size in inches = pixel dimension ÷ PPI. 300 PPI is the usual target for close-viewed photo prints; 150–200 PPI is often acceptable for posters viewed from a distance.
- An embedded DPI tag is only a label. Changing it does not add pixels or detail.
- A 3000 × 4000-pixel image can print at 10 × 13.33 inches at 300 PPI. Divide each pixel dimension by 300 to calculate the print dimensions.
- A4 is approximately 2480 × 3508 pixels at 300 PPI.
- US Letter is 2550 × 3300 pixels at 300 PPI.
- Real PDF bleed requires artwork extending past the TrimBox, not just an empty margin.

## Print sizes in pixels
- [4 × 6 print size](https://printfilecheck.com/print-size/4x6): The most common snapshot size in North America.
- [5 × 7 print size](https://printfilecheck.com/print-size/5x7): A small framed print and greeting-card size.
- [8 × 10 print size](https://printfilecheck.com/print-size/8x10): A standard framed photo that needs more pixels than a 4 × 6.
- [11 × 14 print size](https://printfilecheck.com/print-size/11x14): A medium wall print. Check pixel count before ordering.
- [12 × 18 print size](https://printfilecheck.com/print-size/12x18): A 2:3 print that matches many camera stills.
- [16 × 20 print size](https://printfilecheck.com/print-size/16x20): A large framed print; 300 PPI needs 4800 × 6000 pixels.
- [18 × 24 print size](https://printfilecheck.com/print-size/18x24): A poster-like photo size often viewed from a step back.
