into your print.
Check the crop before you order. Keep the whole photo with white borders, or move the crop to protect what matters.

Demonstration grid · 3000 × 2000 pixels · not a print-quality sample
This preview shows geometry, not printed sharpness or color. Lab trimming and borderless expansion can remove more at the edges.

Fit may add wider borders on two edges. 1 inch = 25.4 mm.
Choose the same paper size when ordering. Export sets pixel dimensions, not physical-size metadata. Upsampling cannot recover missing detail. Keep your original for color-managed work.
Solve the print problem you have
A 4×6 photo on 8×10 paper: what gets cut, and how to keep it
A 3000×2000 example shows the exact crop, the white-border alternative, and why adding an equal border changes the crop again.
Why saving a photo at 300 DPI does not fix low resolution
Follow a 1200×800 photo through three print sizes, then distinguish a metadata change from an upsampled export before spending money on a print.
Borderless printing cuts off edges—even when the photo ratio matches
Separate ratio cropping, borderless expansion, physical trimming and frame coverage with a controlled proof instead of repeatedly resizing the photo.
Scanning a 4×6 photo for an 8×10: 300 or 600 DPI?
Calculate scan resolution from the retained paper area, including a tight face crop, and avoid double-counting enlargement in scanner software.

What the numbers mean
Native PPI divides the pixels that remain after cropping by the inches of image on paper. Export PPI is just a choice of output pixel dimensions. A large export can still contain a low-resolution source.
We calculate the largest matching crop, or the largest whole image that fits inside your border. No stretching, face detection, automatic retouching or printer compensation is applied. Read the formulas and limits.
