Aspect Ratio Guide
Print Sizes & Ratios
Every common size, and how the shapes stack up — so you can see at a glance which standard fits your art before you print.
How the shapes compare
For all of your visual learners out there — check out how the ratios compare side by side. From Hamburger 🍔 (the most square ratios) to Hot Dog 🌭 (the more rectangular ratios).
The Most Common Aspect Ratios and Corresponding Standard Print Sizes
Abstracts, Instagram crops, and symmetrical compositions that read the same any way up.
Portraits and gallery walls — the most widely stocked ready-made frame ratio.
Smartphone photos, portraits, and everyday snapshots — straight off the camera roll.
Greeting cards, desk frames, and gift prints where a little goes a long way.
DSLR and 35mm photography, plus sweeping landscapes that want the extra length.
Keep these ratios in mind while you're creating your original.
Composing to a standard ratio from the start means your work prints and frames with no surprises. If your piece doesn't match one, you'll either lose a little to a crop or gain uneven borders on two sides to keep the whole image — so it's worth planning for. We can also print to your artwork's true proportions at a custom size, or help you pick the closest standard. See our Guide to Borders for the details.
No guessing required: upload a preview in our print order form and you'll see exactly how each size crops or where uneven borders fall, alongside your artwork's exact ratio, before you commit.
