Square prints for square photos and square frames. 8x8 is a 1:1 shape, so a typical phone photo (3:4) loses about 25% 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 8x8 photo?
Pixels per inch decide how sharp a print looks. Here's what an 8×8 print needs (portrait; swap the numbers for landscape). Pixels = inches × DPI.
| DPI | Pixels | Megapixels | How it looks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300 | 2,400 × 2,400 | 5.8 | Sharp, even up close |
| 240 | 1,920 × 1,920 | 3.7 | Good — a little softer up close |
| 150 | 1,200 × 1,200 | 1.4 | Lowest we'd go — fine from across the room |
| 72 | 576 × 576 | 0.3 | Screen only — too low to print |
Will a phone photo fit an 8x8 frame?
8×8 is a 1:1 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 8×8 frame |
|---|---|
| Phone photo (3:4) | Trims about 25% from the top and bottom |
| Camera photo (2:3) | Trims about 33% from the top and bottom |
| Screenshot or video still (9:16) | Trims about 44% from the top and bottom |
| Square photo (1:1) | Fits exactly — nothing is cropped |
Which frames and mats fit an 8x8 print?
Fits an 8×8 frame, or a 12×12 frame with an 8×8 mat opening.
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 8x8 prints
What size should a photo be for an 8×8 frame?
For a print that's sharp even up close, 2,400 × 2,400 pixels — that's 300 DPI. At 1,920 × 1,920 (240 DPI) it's still a good print, a little softer up close, and 1,200 × 1,200 (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 8×8 frame?
Most phone photos are 3:4, so about 25% is trimmed from the top and bottom to fill an 8×8 frame. Drag the photo to choose what stays, or pick "Fit whole photo" to keep everything and add a border instead.
Can I print 8×8 at home?
Yes. Download the print-at-home page: your photo is placed at exactly 8 × 8 in (20.3 × 20.3 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.
What is 8x8 in centimetres and millimetres?
8x8 inches is 20.3 × 20.3 cm (203 × 203 mm). Frames are sold by exact size, so match the frame's label rather than a near metric equivalent.
