6x4" is the print size Britain grew up with. It fits every standard photo album, every mantelpiece frame and every shoebox of holiday memories — which is why it is still the most ordered print size in the UK.
At MY PICTURE, a 6x4 print is our 10x15 cm format, from £0.08 each. Upload straight from your phone, choose matte or gloss, and we print on premium professional photo paper using 12-colour technology — the same paper and inks we use for our largest gallery prints. No app, no account, no subscription.
Every size and finish we print sits on the main photo prints page if you want to compare before you order.

Two things worth knowing. 6x4 and 4x6 are the same print — the numbers just swap depending on whether it is landscape or portrait; ours is landscape by default and you can rotate it in the configurator. And the trade standard is 10x15 cm, a whisker over a true 6x4" (which is 10.16 x 15.24 cm). The difference is under half a millimetre and invisible in a frame.
For scale: a 6x4 print is roughly a quarter the area of a sheet of A4.
Almost, but not exactly — and this is the one thing worth checking before you order.
Most phones shoot in 4:3. A 6x4 print is 3:2. To fill the print edge to edge, we crop about 11% off the long edge of your photo. On a landscape holiday shot you will never notice. On a tight portrait where someone's head is near the top of the frame, you might.
Yes, from essentially any camera made this century.
A 6x4 print needs 1181 x 1772 pixels (2.1 megapixels) for a full 300 DPI result. Every phone sold in the last decade shoots 12 MP or more — around six times what a 6x4 needs. Even a heavily cropped or WhatsApp-compressed image usually clears the bar.
Screenshots, images saved from social media and photos forwarded through messaging apps are the usual culprits when a print comes back soft. Our uploader flags any image too low-resolution for the size you have picked, so you can swap it before you pay rather than after it arrives.
Both use the same premium paper and the same 12-colour inks — only the surface coating differs, so print quality is identical either way. It is purely a look-and-feel choice.
| Attribute | Matte finish | Gloss finish |
|---|---|---|
| Surface | Soft, non-reflective | Smooth, reflective |
| Colour | Softer, more natural | Punchier, deeper contrast |
| Fingerprints | Hides them | Shows them |
| Under glass | No glare | Can catch glare |
| Best for | Framing, portraits, black and white | Albums, travel, colour-rich shots |
| Price | Same as gloss | Same as matte |

Yes. They are the same print — 6x4 describes it landscape, 4x6 describes it portrait. UK retailers usually write 6x4 and US ones 4x6. At MY PICTURE it is our 10x15 cm format, and you can rotate between landscape and portrait in the configurator.
A 6x4" print is 15.2 x 10.2 cm. It is sold across Europe as 10x15 cm, which is a fraction of a millimetre larger than a true 6x4" — not enough to see or to affect how it fits a frame.
It is the standard photo size in the UK, and has been since 35mm film. Its 3:2 shape comes straight from a 35mm negative. Every standard album, sleeve and frame is built around it.
From £0.08 per print at MY PICTURE. A packet of 20 is about £1.60 and 100 prints about £8.00. Free UK delivery over £49, and £5 off your first order when you join the newsletter.
Order in bulk online. Per-print prices are lowest when you upload a batch in one go rather than printing a handful at a time, and high-street click-and-collect costs more per print than online. Our minimum of 20 exists for exactly this reason — it is what keeps the per-print price at £0.08.
Volume and standardisation. 6x4 has been the default size for decades, so labs run it in continuous batches on roll paper with almost no waste and no setup between orders. Bigger sizes cost more per print because they use more paper and are handled individually.
For an album, a desk frame or a shelf, no — it is the size most people picture when they think "photo". For a wall, yes: from more than a metre away a 6x4 reads as a small object rather than an image. Go to 13x18 cm or 20x30 cm for wall display, or look at our poster and canvas prints.
Almost certainly. A 6x4 needs 2.1 megapixels for a full-quality 300 DPI print, and modern phones shoot 12 MP or more. Screenshots and images saved from social media are the exception — our uploader flags anything too low-resolution before you order.
Slightly. Phones shoot 4:3 and a 6x4 print is 3:2, so about 11% comes off the long edge. You will see and can adjust the crop before ordering. If you would rather not crop at all, choose 10x13 cm or a variable format, where the width adapts to your image.
