2:3 aspect ratio
A 2:3 aspect ratio means 2 parts wide for every 3 parts tall, about 0.667. It is the shape of a 4×6 print, of 35 mm film and most camera sensors, and of posters up to 24×36. Enter one side to get the other, or drop in artwork to crop it to 2:3 at 300 DPI.

Where 2:3 is used
- Cameras: 35 mm film and most DSLR and mirrorless sensors are 3:2, so their photos print at 4×6 or 24×36 without cropping.
- Prints: 4×6, 8×12, 12×18, 16×24, 20×30 and 24×36 are all 2:3, the largest family of standard sizes.
- Pinterest: Pinterest recommends 2:3 pins, for example 1,000 × 1,500 pixels.

FAQ
Is 4x6 a 2:3 ratio?
Yes. 4 ÷ 6 = 0.667, the same as 2 ÷ 3. 8×12, 12×18, 16×24, 20×30 and 24×36 are 2:3 as well.
Is 2:3 the same as 3:2?
Same shape: 2:3 is portrait, 3:2 is landscape. Cameras usually describe their sensor as 3:2.
What is 2:3 in pixels?
Any size where width ÷ height = 0.667, for example 1,000 × 1,500 for Pinterest or 7,200 × 10,800 for a 24×36 print at 300 DPI.
Can I print a 2:3 image at 8x10?
Only with a crop. 8×10 is 4:5, wider than 2:3, so about a sixth of the image's height is trimmed.
