2:3 Aspect Ratio
A 2:3 image is 2 units wide for every 3 units high. Exact sizes include 1200 x 1800 and 2000 x 3000 pixels. It is the portrait version of 3:2 and is taller than 4:5 or 3:4, with a shape that also matches several common print sizes.

Common 2:3 pixel dimensions

What 2:3 means
Width occupies two parts while height occupies three, producing a decimal value of 0.6667. Multiply width by 1.5 to calculate the matching height.
How it compares
A 2:3 portrait is narrower than 3:4 and 4:5. It works well for full-length subjects, but a near-square photo needs more side cropping or padding.
Common uses
- Portrait photos taken with a camera that uses 3:2 in landscape orientation.
- Book covers, posters, and 4 x 6, 8 x 12, or 12 x 18 prints.
Fit, Crop, and Pad

Fill the framePad
Add background
Fitting a 4:5 portrait inside a 2:3 frame leaves space above and below. Crop fills the frame by removing some width. Pad keeps the whole image and fills the extra height with a background.

height = width × 3 / 2width = height × 2 / 3
For a 1600 px width, height = 1600 x 3 / 2 = 2400 px. For a 2700 px height, width = 2700 x 2 / 3 = 1800 px.
Frequently asked questions
Which dimensions are exactly 2:3?
600 x 900, 1200 x 1800, 1600 x 2400, and 2000 x 3000 pixels all simplify exactly to 2:3.
Is 2:3 a portrait ratio?
Yes. When width is listed first, 2:3 is portrait; rotating the frame gives the landscape ratio 3:2.
Does 2:3 match a 4 x 6 print?
Yes. Both 4:6 and 8:12 simplify to 2:3, although print quality still depends on source pixel density.
