Resize a photo to 40×60 mm (472×709 pixels)
A 40×60 mm print at 300 DPI is 472×709 pixels. Set 40×60 mm and 300 DPI in the panel and choose crop to fill: a 4:3 phone photo loses 50.1% and still gives 1,278 pixels per inch. As a JPEG, a head-and-shoulders portrait comes to about 57.1 KB at the panel's default quality 85 and 43 KB at quality 75.

How 40×60 mm turns into pixels
An inch is exactly 25.4 mm, so at 300 DPI the pixel size is 40 mm ÷ 25.4 × 300 = 472.441, rounded to 472 px wide, and 60 mm ÷ 25.4 × 300 = 708.661, rounded to 709 px tall. 40×60 mm is a portrait shape with sides in the ratio 2:3 (0.6667 as a decimal), 1.57×2.36 in in the other unit.
The same 40×60 mm needs 315×472 px at 200 DPI and 945×1417 px (1.34 MP) at 600 DPI. PixelFit writes the DPI you set into the JPEG header (the JFIF density field), so print software that reads it knows the file is meant to come out at 40×60 mm.
Is your photo sharp enough for 40×60 mm?
After the crop to fill, this is how many source pixels land on each inch of 40×60 mm. Above 300 DPI the picture is reduced to 300 DPI; below it, PixelFit has to enlarge the crop and fine detail softens.
| Starting image | Crop to fill keeps | Area lost | Pixels per inch at 40×60 mm | To reach 300 DPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 MP phone photo (4032×3024, 4:3) | 2013×3024 (left and right cut) | 50.1% | 1,278 DPI | reduced (0.23×) |
| 24 MP camera photo (6000×4000, 3:2) | 2663×4000 (left and right cut) | 55.6% | 1,691 DPI | reduced (0.18×) |
| Full HD screenshot (1920×1080, 16:9) | 719×1080 (left and right cut) | 62.6% | 457 DPI | reduced (0.66×) |
| Vertical phone video frame (1080×1920, 9:16) | 1080×1622 (top and bottom cut) | 15.5% | 686 DPI | reduced (0.44×) |
40×60 mm in pixels at each print resolution
Pixels = millimetres ÷ 25.4 × DPI. The panel uses 300 DPI unless you change it; the file sizes are for a portrait saved as JPEG.
| Resolution | Pixels | Megapixels | JPEG q75 | JPEG q90 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 150 DPI | 236×354 | 0.0835 MP | ≈ 15.5 KB | ≈ 24.7 KB |
| 200 DPI | 315×472 | 0.15 MP | ≈ 23.5 KB | ≈ 37.9 KB |
| 300 DPI | 472×709 | 0.33 MP | ≈ 43 KB | ≈ 71.1 KB |
| 400 DPI | 630×945 | 0.6 MP | ≈ 66.7 KB | ≈ 113 KB |
| 600 DPI | 945×1417 | 1.34 MP | ≈ 126 KB | ≈ 227 KB |
Will a 40×60 mm photo fit a KB limit?
Saved at 300 DPI (472×709 px), a head-and-shoulders portrait of 40×60 mm comes to about 33.3 KB at JPEG quality 60, 43 KB at 75 and 71.1 KB at 90, and about 25.3 KB as WebP at 75. Dropping to 200 DPI (315×472 px) brings quality 75 down to about 23.5 KB, but the print then holds fewer pixels per inch.
At 300 DPI the photo does not fit under 20 KB even at quality 30; it fits under 50 KB up to quality 79 and under 100 KB up to quality 94; under 200 KB it fits even at quality 95. Set the KB limit next to the size and PixelFit picks the highest quality that fits.
Printing 40×60 mm copies
Without margins or cutting gaps, 4 copies fit on one 4×6 in (102×152 mm) photo print, 21 on an A4 sheet, 20 on US Letter (some turned sideways where that packs more). Print at 100% scale, never "fit to page", or a small ID photo of 40×60 mm comes out the wrong size; 472×709 px at 300 DPI is exact.

How to resize a picture to 40×60 mm
-
Add the picture
Drop, paste or pick the photo in the PixelFit panel at the top of this page; it is decoded in your browser and never uploaded.
-
Set the size
Pick mm as the unit, enter 40×60 mm and 300 DPI; the tool turns that into 472×709 pixels.
-
Choose how it fits
Choose crop to fill to keep the 2:3 frame without stretching (a phone photo loses 50.1%, left and right cut). Fit inside keeps the whole picture as a 472×354 file instead; Pad with colour puts that on a full 472×709 canvas.
-
Pick the format and download
Keep JPG (without a KB limit PixelFit saves at quality 85, about 57.1 KB for a head-and-shoulders portrait) so the 300 DPI stamp travels with the file, or choose PDF to get the picture as a PDF page, then download.

Frequently asked questions
How do I resize a photo to 40×60 mm?
Open the photo in the PixelFit panel on this page, set 40×60 mm at 300 DPI (472 × 709 px), choose crop to fill and download. From a 12 MP phone photo that crops 50.1% (left and right cut) and still leaves 1,278 pixels per inch to work with.
How many pixels is 40×60 mm?
40×60 mm is 472×709 px at 300 DPI, 945×1417 px at 600 DPI and 236×354 px at 150 DPI (pixels = mm ÷ 25.4 × DPI).
What DPI should a 40×60 mm photo have?
PixelFit uses 300 DPI, which makes 40×60 mm exactly 472×709 px; print it at 100% scale. At 150 DPI the same 472×709 pixels would print 3.15×4.73 in, twice as large and with half the density.
How many 40×60 mm photos fit on one sheet?
Without margins, 21 fit on A4 (210×297 mm), 20 on US Letter and 4 on a 4×6 in photo print, turning them sideways where that packs more. Leave a few millimetres for cutting.
How big is a 40×60 mm JPEG at 300 DPI?
For a head-and-shoulders portrait about 43 KB at quality 75 (33.3 KB at 60, 71.1 KB at 90, 57.1 KB at the panel's default quality 85); a detailed outdoor photo is about 84.7 KB at quality 75, estimated from measured encodes of real sample photos at 472×709 px.
