- 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.
| Resolution | Pixel dimensions | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 300 DPI | 6000 × 6000 px | Print. The standard buyers expect. |
| 200 DPI | 4000 × 4000 px | Acceptable at arm's length; visibly softer up close. |
| 150 DPI | 3000 × 3000 px | Too low for a print you are charging for. |
| 72 DPI | 1440 × 1440 px | Screen only. Never sell this as a printable. |
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.
