Print size reference
18x24 print size in pixels
18x24 is a poster-class size common in print-on-demand catalogues. Here is the exact pixel size you need at print resolution, with a calculator for other DPIs.
Why these numbers
Pixel dimensions are simply inches multiplied by DPI: 18 in × 300 = 5400 px and 24 in × 300 = 7200 px. Print labs rasterise your file at the size the buyer orders, so delivering exactly 5400 × 7200 px means no upscaling, no soft edges, and no rejected files.
If your source artwork has a different aspect ratio (most AI generators output 16:9 or 1:1), you cannot reach 18x24 by scaling alone — the image must be resized to fill and then cropped. Doing that by hand for every size in a bundle is where sellers lose hours.
18x24 at every common resolution
| DPI | Portrait (px) | Landscape (px) | Use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150 | 2700 x 3600 | 3600 x 2700 | Drafts, screen proofs |
| 300 | 5400 x 7200 | 7200 x 5400 | Standard print quality |
| 600 | 10800 x 14400 | 14400 x 10800 | Fine-art / giclee |
