10x8 Photo Prints — 20x25cm on Premium Photo Paper

10x8 and 8x10 are the same print — 10x8 describes it landscape, 8x10 portrait. UK retailers write 10x8, US ones 8x10.

For scale, a 10x8 is about 3.3 times the area of a 6x4 and a little over twice a 7x5.

No, and it is the most common question about this size — so worth being precise.

A4 is 4 cm longer and a noticeably narrower shape. A 10x8 print will not fill an A4 frame or mount — it will sit inside it with an uneven margin. They get confused because both are "the big one" in most people's minds, but they are different sizes for different things: 10x8 is a photographic format, A4 is a paper format.

If you want a print for an A4 frame, use a poster print in A4. If you want a photographic print at roughly that scale, 10x8 or 20x30 cm are the right choices.

A little. 10x8 is 5:4, which is slightly squarer than any camera shoots.

That 17% matters if you shoot on a proper camera — it is a real slice off both sides, and on a group shot it can lose someone. Two ways round it:

• Check the crop before you order — drag the crop box so the important part of the frame survives
• Use a variable format instead — pick a fixed dimension of 20 cm and we set the other side from your image's own ratio, so nothing is cropped

10x8's squarer shape is also exactly why portrait photographers like it: it crops in towards the subject, which flatters a head-and-shoulders shot.

A 10x8 needs 2362 × 2953 pixels — about 7 megapixels — for a full 300 DPI print. A 12 MP phone photo clears it, but the 6% crop eats into that, so there is less headroom than at smaller sizes.

Be careful with heavily cropped photos, digital zoom, screenshots and anything downloaded from social media — all of them can land under the mark at this size. Upload the original file from your camera roll, and our uploader will warn you if it will not hold.

From £0.44 per print — the lowest price for a 10x8 in the UK.

How the UK market compares — cheapest advertised per-print price, checked 7 September 2026:

A ninefold spread on the same size. 10x8 is priced as a premium "enlargement" almost everywhere, which is why it is worth comparing per-print rather than assuming the high street is competitive.

Same premium paper, same 12-colour inks, different surface coating.

Most 10x8 prints end up framed, which points towards matte — a print this size shows glare across its whole surface under glass.

• Portraits — the traditional portrait size, and the shape that flatters a head-and-shoulders shot
• School and team photos — what school photographers have supplied for generations
• Framing — one of the most widely stocked large frame and mount sizes in the UK
• Wedding and christening prints — the size couples frame and give to family
• Certificates and mounted displays — sits well inside a mount with a generous border
• Pet portraits — big enough for detail in fur and eyes without going to wall size
