This preset sets the output size to 11 × 8.5 in, which is 11 × 8.5 in (27.94 × 21.59 cm). It is a physical size, so the number of pixels depends on the DPI: 1056 × 816 px at 96 DPI, or 3300 × 2550 px at 300 DPI.

This size corresponds to US Letter.

11 × 8.5 in in pixels

Pixels = size in inches × DPI. DPI is a printing instruction, not a quality setting: it says how many pixels are spread over each inch of paper. With the DPI field on Auto, ResizeAny converts at 96 DPI, which suits screens. For print, set 300 DPI. JPG and PNG output stores the DPI value in the file.

DPI	Use	Pixel size
72	Screen preview	792 × 612
96	Tool default (Auto)	1056 × 816
150	Large posters, viewed from a distance	1650 × 1275
300	Photos, cards, anything held close	3300 × 2550

Will your photo be sharp enough?

A 12-megapixel phone photo (4000 × 3000) has more than the 3300 × 2550 pixels this size needs at 300 DPI, so it can be printed sharply with room left to crop.

Needed source resolution: 8.4 megapixels or more at 300 DPI.

Matching the 1.29:1 shape

The output is 1.29:1. If your photo has another shape, it has to be cropped or it will be stretched. This is how much of each common photo is lost when cropped to fill 1.29:1:

Starting photo	Cropped away to fill the shape
Phone photo (4000 × 3000, 4:3)	About 3% of the image
DSLR photo (6000 × 4000, 3:2)	About 14% of the image
Video frame (1920 × 1080, 16:9)	About 27% of the image
Portrait phone photo (3000 × 4000, 3:4)	About 42% of the image

How to resize an image for z fold brochure

Add your image. Select a photo or drag it onto the box above. JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC and BMP files are accepted, and the file stays on your device.
Set the resolution. The preset fills in 11 × 8.5 in. Leave DPI on Auto to convert at 96 DPI, or enter 300 DPI for print so the file has enough pixels for a sharp result.
Crop if the shape differs. The target shape is 1.29:1. If your photo is a different shape, crop it first so the print is not stretched.
Download and print at 100%. Save as JPG or PNG; the DPI value is stored in the file. Print at 100% scale, not "fit to page", so the physical size stays exact.

Frequently asked questions

What is 11 × 8.5 in in pixels?▼

It depends on DPI: 1056 × 816 px at 96 DPI, 1650 × 1275 px at 150 DPI and 3300 × 2550 px at 300 DPI.

What DPI should I use for a 11 × 8.5 in print?▼

300 DPI for anything seen up close, such as photos, cards and labels; 150 DPI is acceptable for larger prints viewed from a distance. Higher than 300 rarely gives a visible gain.

What is 11 × 8.5 in in other units?▼

11 × 8.5 in, 27.94 × 21.59 cm and 279.4 × 215.9 mm. It matches US Letter.

How do I make sure it prints at exactly 11 × 8.5 in?▼

Set the size and a DPI, download the file, and print at 100% scale. Options such as "fit to page" or "shrink to printable area" silently change the physical size, so turn them off. If a lab does the printing, tell them the exact size rather than relying on the file's DPI value.

Is a phone photo big enough for 11 × 8.5 in?▼

Yes. A 12-megapixel phone photo has more than the 8.4 MP needed at 300 DPI.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?▼

No. ResizeAny decodes, resizes and re-encodes your picture inside your browser tab, so a photo you prepare for a 11 × 8.5 in print never leaves your device. You can confirm this in your browser's developer tools: the Network tab shows no upload request while you work.
