  • At 300 DPI it prints 8×10 inches. At 200 DPI it would stretch to 12×15 inches, with visible softening.
  • 4:5.
  • Up to about 12×15 inches at 200 DPI before softness becomes obvious. Beyond that you are upscaling and buyers will see it.

2400×3000 pixels prints at 8×10 inches at 300 DPI. The arithmetic is pixels ÷ DPI: 2400 ÷ 300 = 8 and 3000 ÷ 300 = 10.

What ratio you are working with

2400×3000 is a 4:5 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.
