Key takeaways
  • 20×20 inches at 300 DPI is 6000×6000 pixels. That is a 1:1 ratio — here is the exact file to export and what to check before you sell it.
  • 6000 × 6000 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 — 6000×6000 is exactly 300 DPI at 20×20 inches, which is the standard for print. Below about 200 DPI (4000×4000) softness starts to show.

20×20 inches at 300 DPI is 6000×6000 pixels. The arithmetic is inches × DPI, so 20 × 300 = 6000 and 20 × 300 = 6000.

The ratio matters more than the size

20×20 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 6000×6000 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 6000×6000, upscaling will show. Rebuild or offer a smaller size.
