Photo print sizes in pixels: 4 × 6, 5 × 7, 8 × 10 at 300 dpi
For a sharp print, labs ask for 300 pixels per inch. Multiply the inches by 300 to get the pixels: a 4 × 6 inch print needs 1200 × 1800. Picking a print size here also crops your photo to the print's shape, so nothing is cut off at the lab.
