PicMonkey | What size should I make my photos?


What size should I make my photos?

Last Updated: Jul 12, 2012 01:10PM PDT
Trying to convert those ethereal pixels into cold, hard, printable inches? Look no further. Here are the conversions we recommend for the following common photo sizes:
 
3x5  - 1,500 x 2,500

4x6  - 1,600 x 2,400

5x7  - 1,500 x 2,100

8x8  - 2,000 x 2,000

8x10 - 2,000 x 2,500

8.5x11 - 1,700 x 2,200

9x16 - 3,200 x 1,800

11x14 - 2,200 x 2,800

11x17 - 2,200 x 3,400
 
Hot tip - If you are creating a collage, adjust the pixel dimensions before you start adding your own photos.

Custom Search Engine

Hi everyone!
Check out how you can make your OWN search engine by Google. I set this up with only a few kid sites so when they search, they are only looking at the sites I want them to. Go here
