Photo Print Size and Crop Checker
Before ordering a photo print, check how much resolution survives the crop. Load a photo locally and export a correctly proportioned JPEG.

The checker does not upscale or improve resolution. Color profiles, paper and viewing distance also affect print quality. Images are processed locally; exporting may remove some metadata.
Pixels per inch, cropping and print quality
The DPI metadata attached to a JPEG does not by itself tell you how sharp a print will look. The important inputs are the actual pixel dimensions remaining after cropping and the physical print size. A 6000 × 4000 pixel image fits a 12 × 8 inch print without cropping and yields 500 pixels per inch.
A square crop from that same image retains 4000 × 4000 pixels. A 12 × 12 inch print would then have about 333 pixels per inch. The crop checker calculates the center crop and lets you download the cropped JPEG locally, without uploading your photo to a server. For a borderless print, confirm any extra trim or bleed required by your print lab.
