About this size

The 8 by 10 print is the format that signals "framed photograph" the most clearly of any consumer photo size. The 4:5 ratio (different from both 4 by 6's 2:3 and 5 by 7's 5:7) suits portrait orientation cleanly, and the size is the standard for actor portfolios, professional headshots, and gallery photography prints.

The ratio difference matters when working from camera files. A 35 mm or DSLR file at 3:2 needs cropping to fit 8 by 10; planning that crop at the shoot stage prevents losing important headroom or chin space when the print is produced.

Pro tips

  1. 1 4:5 ratio. Different from the 2:3 of 4 by 6 and the 5:7 of the smaller portrait print. Camera files do not fit without cropping.
  2. 2 Common headshot size for actor portfolios and professional photography. The format reads as professional-grade.
  3. 3 Plan crops at the shoot stage. Going from a 3:2 camera frame to a 4:5 print loses content from either the top or sides.
