Why choose 6×4 inch?
6×4 inch (152.4×101.6 mm, 15.24×10.16 cm) is a landscape print size used for the standard 4×6 inch photo print. At 300 DPI it needs 1800×1200 pixels.
1800×1200 px at 300 DPI
The pixel size is worked out for you, and the file is saved with 300 DPI so it prints at exactly 6×4 inch.
An official photo size
6×4 inch is the size required for the standard 4×6 inch photo print. Always check the latest official rules for background and head size.
2 per A4 sheet
With small gaps, 2 photos fit on one A4 page and 2 on US Letter — handy for printing several copies at home.
3:2 landscape shape
The 3:2 photo proportion decides the framing. Drag the preview so the subject sits where the rules expect it.

Camera photos fit perfectly. DSLR and mirrorless cameras shoot 3:2, the same shape as 6×4, so nothing is cropped.
Phone photos (4:3) lose a strip from the top or bottom. Drag the preview to decide which. To crop many photos the same way, use 3:2 aspect ratio with batch mode.

Usually 340 KB–680 KB as a JPG at 300 DPI. If an online form allows less, reduce it with the compressor — the print size stays the same.
