Prepare a 4×6 Photo Print
A 4×6 print uses a 2:3 ratio, which matches many camera originals. Review the edges before export because some labs trim a small amount during printing. Start with the sharpest original available. Resizing a small source to a larger canvas adds pixels but cannot restore detail that was never captured.

What size is a 4×6 Photo Print?
1200×1800 pixels is the canvas used by this preset. The same canvas can be rotated to 1800×1200 for landscape. Confirm bleed, color, and file requirements with the printer.
Is 1200×1800 required?
1200×1800 is the direct 300-PPI calculation for a 4×6-inch print, not a universal lab requirement. Your printer may accept another resolution.
Will enlarging a small image make it sharper?
No. Enlargement can meet the pixel dimensions, but it cannot recreate missing texture or focus. Use the largest original you have.
Should I check the result after resizing?
Yes. Review the crop, fine detail, text, and any destination-specific safe areas before you upload or print the file.
