  • 1800 × 1800 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 — 1800×1800 is exactly 300 DPI at 6×6 inches, which is the standard for print. Below about 200 DPI (1200×1200) softness starts to show.

The ratio matters more than the size

6×6 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 1800×1800 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 1800×1800, upscaling will show. Rebuild or offer a smaller size.
