Photo print sizes: find the right fit
Answer a few quick questions. We’ll recommend a standard photo print size Parabo actually makes. Then you can order when you’re ready.
4×6 vs 5×7 photo prints
Both are classic rectangular photo print sizes. 4×6 is the everyday standard: compact, giftable, album-friendly. 5×7 gives you more presence on a shelf or in a simple frame. Same thick matte paper, white border or edge-to-edge, sets of 20.
4×6 Classic
- Fits standard frames and sleeves
- Best for stacks, mail, albums
5×7 Classic
- Room to breathe with a border
- Best for tabletops, single frames
