A popular mid-size in Europe, in the 2:3 shape of camera photos. 20x30 cm is a 2:3 shape, so a typical phone photo (3:4) loses about 11% from the sides. On A4 paper it prints at 94% with a thin white edge.
How many pixels is a 20x30 cm photo?
Pixels per inch decide how sharp a print looks. Here's what a 20×30 cm print needs (portrait; swap the numbers for landscape). Pixels = inches × DPI.
| DPI | Pixels | Megapixels | How it looks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300 | 2,362 × 3,543 | 8.4 | Sharp, even up close |
| 240 | 1,890 × 2,835 | 5.4 | Good — a little softer up close |
| 150 | 1,181 × 1,772 | 2.1 | Lowest we'd go — fine from across the room |
| 72 | 567 × 850 | 0.5 | Screen only — too low to print |
Will a phone photo fit a 20x30 cm frame?
20×30 cm is a 2:3 shape. Here's roughly how much is trimmed when a photo fills the frame (turned the same way as the frame). Prefer to keep everything? Choose Fit whole photo and add a border instead.
| Your photo | In a 20×30 cm frame |
|---|---|
| Phone photo (3:4) | Trims about 11% from the sides |
| Camera photo (2:3) | Fits exactly — nothing is cropped |
| Screenshot or video still (9:16) | Trims about 16% from the top and bottom |
| Square photo (1:1) | Trims about 33% from the sides |
Which frames and mats fit a 20x30 cm print?
Fits a 20 × 30 cm frame, or a 30 × 40 cm frame with a 20 × 30 cm mount (passe-partout).
Mat openings are usually about ¼ in (6 mm) smaller than the print on each side, so the edges tuck behind the mat — keep faces and words away from the very edge. The tool shows that strip as a dashed line.
