Compare
4×6 vs 5×7 photo prints
Both are classic rectangular photo print sizes. 4×6 is the everyday standard: compact, giftable, album-friendly. 5×7 gives you more presence on a shelf or in a simple frame. Same thick matte paper, white border or edge-to-edge, sets of 20.

5×7 Classic
- Room to breathe with a border
- Best for tabletops, single frames
FAQ
Photo print sizes: FAQ
Quick answers on standard sizes, resolution, and printing from your phone.
Common standard sizes include 4×6 and 5×7 rectangles, plus square sizes like 4×4. Parabo also makes tiny 2.75×2.75 squares and large engineer prints at 3×4 ft and 3×3 ft.
Match size to where the photo will live: tiny or 4×4 for desks and gifts, 4×6 or 5×7 for classic prints and frames, and engineer sizes for one big wall piece. Use the guide above to get a recommendation.
Yes. Parabo’s 4 inch Square Print is 4×4 inches.
Our Tiny Square Print is 2.75×2.75 in, just under 3×3, ideal for wallets, tags, and scrapbooks.
Square prints are the natural fit. A 4×4 Square Print suits a single post, and 5.5×5.5 works well on a photo wall. Instagram saves photos at about 1080 pixels wide, which is enough for any Square or Classic print. Portrait posts get cropped for a square print, so print the original from your camera roll when you can. A saved Instagram photo is too small for an Engineer Print.
For Square and Classic prints, aim for 150+ PPI. For large Engineer Prints, aim for about 300 PPI and a strong original file (often 5–10 MB).
Yes. The easiest path is the Parabo Press app, which ships real photo prints (not AirPrint to a home printer). See our guide: How to print photos from iPhone.
