The working
Pixels are inches multiplied by the resolution.
- Width: 5 in × 600 = 3,000, which rounds to 3000 pixels.
- Height: 7 in × 600 = 4,200, which rounds to 4200 pixels.
Bleed is extra image past the trim line, so that a cut that lands slightly off still leaves ink to the edge. Print shops usually ask for 0.125 in on every side of a US size, which makes the file 3150 × 4350 pixels.
Is your photo big enough?
To fill 5 × 7 inch photo at 600 DPI an image needs at least 3000 × 4200 pixels. Cropped to fill the sheet:
- A 12 megapixel phone photo (4000 × 3000) gives 571 DPI: short of 600, so it would be upscaled or printed softer.
- A 24 megapixel camera photo (6000 × 4000) gives 800 DPI: enough.
- A 48 megapixel photo (8000 × 6000) gives 1,143 DPI: enough.
At 600 DPI the pixels of a print blend together from about 5.7 inches (15 cm) away. 600 DPI is used for line art, small text and scans that will be enlarged. It is also the native resolution of many office laser printers.
