- 16×16 inches at 300 DPI is 4800×4800 pixels. That is a 1:1 ratio — here is the exact file to export and what to check before you sell it.
- 4800 × 4800 pixels. Multiply each dimension in inches by 300.
- 1:1. Any print that reduces to 1:1 will crop from the same file without redrawing it.
- Yes — 4800×4800 is exactly 300 DPI at 16×16 inches, which is the standard for print. Below about 200 DPI (3200×3200) softness starts to show.
16×16 inches at 300 DPI is 4800×4800 pixels. The arithmetic is inches × DPI, so 16 × 300 = 4800 and 16 × 300 = 4800.
| Resolution | Pixel dimensions | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 300 DPI | 4800 × 4800 px | Print. The standard buyers expect. |
| 200 DPI | 3200 × 3200 px | Acceptable at arm's length; visibly softer up close. |
| 150 DPI | 2400 × 2400 px | Too low for a print you are charging for. |
| 72 DPI | 1152 × 1152 px | Screen only. Never sell this as a printable. |
The ratio matters more than the size
16×16 is a 1:1 ratio. Every other print size that reduces to 1:1 can be cut from the same master file without redrawing anything — which is why sellers who work in ratios list far more sizes for the same effort than sellers who work in inches.
Before you list it
- Export at 4800×4800 px and confirm the file actually reports 300 DPI, not 72.
- Check the true pixel dimensions rather than trusting the DPI field — software often lies about it.
- If your source image is smaller than 4800×4800, upscaling will show. Rebuild or offer a smaller size.
