The 8x10 Photo Print size (2400×3000px)
An 8x10 inch print at 300 DPI is 2400 by 3000 pixels, and its 4:5 aspect ratio is the classic portrait format used for headshots, family photos, graduation portraits, and framed wall art. It is large enough to be a real display piece, the size you frame and hang or set on a shelf, while still fitting standard 8x10 frames and mats sold everywhere, which is a big part of why it has endured as a portrait standard.
Since 4:5 is meaningfully squarer than a camera's native 2:3, resizing to 2400x3000 crops noticeably from the long edge, so preview the framing to keep heads, hands, and important elements safely inside the frame. Professional portrait photographers often compose with this crop in mind. At 300 dots per inch the larger print stays sharp even when viewed up close on a wall, which matters more at 8x10 than at snapshot sizes because any softness is easier to notice at scale.
Because an 8x10 is often the hero print in a set, resolution discipline is worth it: start from a source large enough to reach 2400x3000 without upscaling, since enlarging a small file shows as blur at this size. If you are matting the print, remember the mat overlaps the outer edge, so keep the subject centered with margin.
