Every size below reduces to 5:4. Each links to its own page.
| Size | Megapixels | Type | Used by |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1200 x 960 | 1.15 | photo | 5:4 at 1200 pixels wide, an 8 by 10 inch print scaled for the web |
| 1280 x 1024 | 1.31 | screen | SXGA, the 5:4 monitor resolution that was standard in offices through the 2000s and still ships on point-of-sale, industrial and medical displays |
| 1350 x 1080 | 1.46 | social | The landscape twin of the 1080 by 1350 feed post: turn the canvas on its side and you have 1350 by 1080, which is the reference size for 5:4 here and the shape of an 8 by 10 inch print. |
About the 5:4 ratio
5:4 is the landscape twin of 4:5: 5 units wide for every 4 tall, decimal 1.25. Turn a 1080 by 1350 portrait post on its side and you have 1350 by 1080 pixels, which is where the canonical size for this page comes from. Both numbers still divide by 270.
Print is where 5:4 lives. An 8 by 10 inch print is 5:4, as are 16 by 20 and 4 by 5 inch sheet film, the format that gave large-format photography its name. On screens it survived as the 1280 by 1024 (SXGA) monitor, still common in offices and medical imaging, and as 2560 by 2048. No social platform names 5:4 as a placement, but a 5:4 image posts uncropped anywhere that accepts 4:3 or wider, including the Instagram feed.
Cropping is gentle in most directions. To 4:3 you lose 6 percent of the height; to 3:2 you lose 17 percent; to 16:9 you lose 29 percent, which is why an 8 by 10 never fits a TV screen. A 3:2 camera frame cropped to 5:4 keeps 83 percent of its width, the classic full-frame to 8 by 10 print crop. Common sizes: 1350 by 1080, 1280 by 1024, 1600 by 1280, 2560 by 2048 and 3000 by 2400 for a 10 by 8 inch print at 300 dpi.
Questions about 5:4
Yes. 8 divided by 10 is 0.8 and 4 divided by 5 is 0.8, so a portrait 8 by 10 inch print is 4:5 and a landscape one is 5:4. The same is true of 16 by 20 and of 4 by 5 inch sheet film. A 3:2 camera photo has to lose about 17 percent of its long side to fit an 8 by 10 print.
1350 by 1080 is 5:4, the landscape version of the 1080 by 1350 Instagram post. Screen sizes at 5:4 are 1280 by 1024 and 2560 by 2048. For print at 300 dpi, a 10 by 8 inch print needs 3000 by 2400 pixels. Multiply any width by 0.8 to get the matching height.
