4x6 print size in pixels
4x6 is the classic photo print and the smallest size most Etsy bundles include. Here is the exact pixel size you need at print resolution, with a calculator for other DPIs.

At 300 DPI and JPEG quality 90, expect roughly 2–3 MB per file depending on detail.
Why these numbers
Pixel dimensions are simply inches multiplied by DPI: 4 in × 300 = 1200 px and 6 in × 300 = 1800 px. Print labs rasterise your file at the size the buyer orders, so delivering exactly 1200 × 1800 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 4x6 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.
