Photo sizes in pixels

Pixels are calculated as mm ÷ 25.4 × ppi. The cropper shows the same figures for the preset you pick.

For an upload form. Check the form’s own pixel and file-size limits first; they win over the general figures.
For a print. Export 300 ppi, or 600 ppi when the rules mention 600 dpi.
For a print sheet. The pixel size of the sheet is 4×6 in, 5×7 in or A4 converted at your chosen ppi.
