How to crop a picture to 3:2
- Open your picture — the 3:2 frame is already locked in place.
- Drag the frame onto the part you want and pull a corner to resize it; it keeps its shape however you drag.
- Press Crop Picture and download, copy or share the result.
Where 3:2 is used
- 6 × 4 inch prints — the most common photo print is exactly 3:2.
- DSLR and mirrorless cameras, following 35 mm film — for untouched camera JPGs, try lossless crop.
- Landscape photography portfolios and galleries.
- Portrait 2:3 for Pinterest-style tall images.
Common pixel sizes
| Use | Size |
|---|---|
| 6 × 4 in print at 300 dpi | 1800 × 1200 |
| Web gallery | 1500 × 1000 |
| 24 MP camera | 6000 × 4000 |
| Portrait 2:3 | 1000 × 1500 |
If you are printing at a lab, crop to 3:2 yourself before uploading, so the lab’s automatic crop does not cut off heads or horizons.
Frequently asked questions
What resolution do I need for a 6 × 4 print?
About 1800 × 1200 pixels gives 300 dots per inch, which is sharp at normal viewing distance. The info panel shows your crop size in pixels and megapixels.
Does 3:2 fit a 7 × 5 print?
No — 7 × 5 is 1.4:1. Type 7:5 as a custom ratio for that.
