The go-to size for portraits, family photos and school pictures. 8x10 is a 4:5 shape, so a typical phone photo (3:4) loses about 6% from the top and bottom. It prints at actual size at home, one per US Letter sheet. On A4 paper it prints at 97% with a thin white edge, or full size on a borderless printer.
How many pixels is an 8x10 photo?
Pixels per inch decide how sharp a print looks. Here's what an 8×10 print needs (portrait; swap the numbers for landscape). Pixels = inches × DPI.
| DPI | Pixels | Megapixels | How it looks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300 | 2,400 × 3,000 | 7.2 | Sharp, even up close |
| 240 | 1,920 × 2,400 | 4.6 | Good — a little softer up close |
| 150 | 1,200 × 1,500 | 1.8 | Lowest we'd go — fine from across the room |
| 72 | 576 × 720 | 0.4 | Screen only — too low to print |
Will a phone photo fit an 8x10 frame?
8×10 is a 4:5 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 an 8×10 frame |
|---|---|
| Phone photo (3:4) | Trims about 6% from the top and bottom |
| Camera photo (2:3) | Trims about 17% from the top and bottom |
| Screenshot or video still (9:16) | Trims about 30% from the top and bottom |
| Square photo (1:1) | Trims about 20% from the sides |
Which frames and mats fit an 8x10 print?
Fits an 8×10 frame, or an 11×14 frame with an 8×10 mat opening — a classic look for a wall.
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.

Frequently asked questions about 8x10 prints
What size should a photo be for an 8×10 frame?
For a print that's sharp even up close, 2,400 × 3,000 pixels — that's 300 DPI. At 1,920 × 2,400 (240 DPI) it's still a good print, a little softer up close, and 1,200 × 1,500 (150 DPI) is the lowest we'd go — fine from across the room. FrameReady makes the file at the right size for you.
Will my phone photo fit an 8×10 frame?
Most phone photos are 3:4, so about 6% is trimmed from the top and bottom to fill an 8×10 frame. Drag the photo to choose what stays, or pick "Fit whole photo" to keep everything and add a border instead.
Can I print 8×10 at home?
Yes. Download the print-at-home page: your photo is placed at exactly 8 × 10 in (20.3 × 25.4 cm) on Letter paper, with cut marks and a bar you can measure to check the size. Print at 100% (“Actual size”), not “Fit to page”.
Is it really free and private?
Yes. Your photo never leaves your device — everything happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, there's no sign-up and no watermark.
Is 8×10 the same as 8.5×11?
No. 8.5×11 is US letter paper; 8×10 is a slightly squarer photo size. An 8×10 print fits on a letter sheet with a little white space around it, which makes it easy to print at home.
What is 8x10 in centimetres and millimetres?
8x10 inches is 20.3 × 25.4 cm (203 × 254 mm). Frames are sold by exact size, so match the frame's label rather than a near metric equivalent.
