Resize a Photo to 11×17 Without Cropping
11×17 inches = 3,300 × 5,100 px at 300 DPI, or 1,650 × 2,550 px for a print viewed from a step away (150 DPI).
11×17 is tabloid paper, the biggest sheet most office printers and copy shops handle, which makes it the default size for flyers and small posters. It's also unusually tall. Upload your photo below and we'll extend the scene to 11×17 instead of trimming the sides.

Why 11×17 Cuts Things Off
11×17 is exactly two Letter sheets side by side, which is why copiers love it, and it works out to roughly 1:1.55, taller than any photo you own. A 3:4 phone photo filling it loses about a seventh of its width; a camera photo loses less but still some. On a flyer that's often the edge of a band or a venue, the part that says where the photo was taken. At 300 DPI the full sheet is 3,300×5,100 pixels, a little over our 16-megapixel ceiling, so it's delivered at about 3,217×4,972, which still works out to roughly 290 pixels per inch.
Instead of trimming your photo down to the shape, we generate more of the scene around it until it fits — and sharpen the whole image in the same pass.
Where 11×17 shows up
- Event, gig and lost-pet flyers from a copy shop
- Small posters for a noticeboard, shop window or classroom
- Restaurant menus and table displays
- Portfolio and presentation sheets folded from tabloid paper
Pixels an 11×17 print needs
- Sharp in your hand (300 DPI)
- 3,300 × 5,100 px
- Sharp on a wall (150 DPI)
- 1,650 × 2,550 px
A smaller photo still prints, just softer. Check yours against every size on the print size chart. Changing the DPI setting alone doesn’t add pixels: how to convert an image to 300 DPI.
11×17 Questions
What size is 11×17 in pixels?
3,300×5,100 pixels at 300 DPI, or 1,650×2,550 at 150 DPI, which is plenty for a poster read from a step back. We deliver about 3,217×4,972, the same shape at just under 300 DPI.
Can I print 11×17 on a home printer?
Only if it takes tabloid paper. Most home printers stop at Letter, and copy shops and office printers are the usual route. Either way, the file needs to be 11:17 first or the printer will crop or shrink it.
