From unique display options to adorable photo-ready props (yes, even for your dog!), Baskits offers curated gifts that help your memories shine.

Common Photo Print Sizes and Their Uses

Start by understanding the most frequently used print sizes, so you can match your photo with the right frame or display location:

• 4x6 Inches – A classic size for photo albums, scrapbooks, and casual tabletop frames.
  
• 5x7 Inches – Slightly larger, perfect for desktop frames and gift displays.
  
• 8x10 Inches – Ideal for portraits, holiday prints, and statement gifts.
  
• 11x14 Inches – Offers a bit more space for professional framing or wall mounting.
  
• 16x20 Inches – Great for creating visual impact in living rooms or offices.
  
• 20x30 Inches – A bold, dramatic size for turning your memories into artful home décor.
  

Specialty Print Sizes for Creative Displays

For photos that deserve a more modern or custom presentation, consider these non-traditional formats:

• Square Prints (8x8, 12x12, 16x16) – A contemporary layout ideal for Instagram-style photos or artistic arrangements.
  
• Panoramic Prints (10x20, 12x36) – Great for wide scenic shots, skylines, or landscapes.
  
• Custom Sizes – Perfect for unique wall spaces, creative collages, or gallery-style layouts.
  

Tips for Choosing the Right Size

To ensure your prints turn out crisp and perfectly framed, consider the following:

• Resolution – Use high-resolution images (300 DPI or higher) to avoid blurring or pixelation when printing larger sizes.
  
• Aspect Ratio – Choose a print size that matches the aspect ratio of your image to prevent unnecessary cropping.
  
• Display Space – Measure the wall or surface where your photo will go. Bigger isn't always better—it’s about balance.
  
• Purpose – Smaller prints are ideal for keepsakes and albums, while larger sizes make for striking focal pieces.
  

Add Meaning with the Perfect Display

Once you’ve chosen the right print size, the next step is finding a stylish and functional way to store or showcase your image. That’s where thoughtful gift ideas come in.
