  • At 300 DPI it prints 5×7 inches. At 200 DPI it would stretch to 7.5×10.5 inches, with visible softening.
  • 5:7.
  • Up to about 7.5×10.5 inches at 200 DPI before softness becomes obvious. Beyond that you are upscaling and buyers will see it.

1500×2100 pixels prints at 5×7 inches at 300 DPI. The arithmetic is pixels ÷ DPI: 1500 ÷ 300 = 5 and 2100 ÷ 300 = 7.

What ratio you are working with

1500×2100 is a 5:7 ratio. That determines which standard print sizes this file can fill without cropping, and it is the number worth knowing — a file's ratio travels across every size, its pixel count does not.

If you need it bigger

  • Rebuild at the larger size if the artwork is vector or you still have the source.
  • Upscaling adds pixels but no detail. On matte paper it is obvious.
  • If the file is fixed, list the sizes it genuinely supports rather than the sizes you wish it did.
