Resize a Photo to 4×4 Without Cropping
4×4 inches = 1,200 × 1,200 px at 300 DPI, or 600 × 600 px for a print viewed from a step away (150 DPI).
4×4 is the small square print: coasters, photo tiles, square cards and little frames. Upload your photo below and we'll make it square by extending the scene, instead of chopping a quarter of it away.

Set to 4×4 inches — 1,200 × 1,200 px at 300 DPI. You can change it after uploading.
Why 4×4 Cuts Things Off
Squares are the hardest crop for a phone photo. A 3:4 photo loses a quarter of its height to become 1:1, and a 2:3 camera photo loses a third. In a portrait, that's usually the top of the head or the feet. The pixels are no problem at all: 1,200×1,200 at 300 DPI is a fraction of any phone photo, and even a small Instagram download has enough.
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 4×4 shows up
- Photo coasters and ceramic tiles
- Square greeting cards and gift tags
- Small square frames and magnets
- Prints of Instagram posts
Pixels a 4×4 print needs
- Sharp in your hand (300 DPI)
- 1,200 × 1,200 px
- Sharp on a wall (150 DPI)
- 600 × 600 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.
4×4 Questions
How many pixels is a 4×4 photo?
1,200×1,200 pixels at 300 DPI. A 1,080-pixel Instagram post is about 270 DPI at 4×4, which still prints well.
How do I make a rectangular photo a 4×4 square without cutting anything off?
Extend it. We add more of the scene to the short sides until the photo is square, so nothing in the original is lost.
