Hi there! Do you like taking pictures? Have you ever wondered why some pictures are bigger or smaller than others? Let me explain photo print sizes to you like you're five years old.
When we take a picture with a camera, it's usually saved as a digital file on a computer or a phone. But sometimes we want to print out our pictures so we can hold them in our hands, show them to friends, or hang them up on a wall.
But when we print our pictures, we need to decide what size we want them to be. Just like we come in different sizes, pictures can come in different sizes too!
The size of a photo print is usually measured in inches, which is a way to measure things like height and width. So, if we want to print a picture that's 4 inches wide and 6 inches tall, we call that a 4x6 size.
Now, here's where it can get a little confusing. There are lots of different sizes of photo prints! Some are smaller, like wallet-sized prints that are usually 2.5x3.5 inches. Others are bigger, like 8x10 prints that are 8 inches wide and 10 inches tall.
When you go to a store to print your pictures, you'll usually see a list of different sizes you can choose from. You might also see options for different finishes, like glossy or matte.
So, to sum it up, photo print sizes are just a way to measure how big or small you want your pictures to be when you print them out. Just like we come in different sizes, our pictures can come in different sizes too!
