  • 2000×2000 pixels prints at 6.66667×6.66667 inches at 300 DPI — a 1:1 ratio. Here is what else that file can print at, and where it stops being sharp.
  • At 300 DPI it prints 6.66667×6.66667 inches. At 200 DPI it would stretch to 10×10 inches, with visible softening.
  • 1:1.
  • Up to about 10×10 inches at 200 DPI before softness becomes obvious. Beyond that you are upscaling and buyers will see it.

What ratio you are working with

2000×2000 is a 1:1 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.
