Take a sheet of A4 paper and trim a little off the long edge. That is roughly the footprint of an 8×10 inch frame, or 20 by 25 centimetres. It is small enough to stand next to a laptop and large enough to be recognised from across a small room, which is why it is the most practical size for faces. It is also the size you can lift with one hand and show to a visitor, which no wall piece allows.
The 4:5 shape matters more than people expect. Most phones shoot 4:3, so an 8×10 print trims a sliver from the long side of a portrait photo. Frame the subject slightly inside the edges and nothing important gets lost. For sharpness, aim for at least 1200 × 1500 pixels, which is about 150 pixels per inch and fine for display. Closer to 1600 × 2000 pixels is better if the frame will be held or viewed from arm's length. Our upload check flags anything too small before you pay.
At this size 3mm acrylic is the sensible choice. It weighs very little, so it will not strain a shelf edge, and it travels safely in a courier box. Studs start at 12×18, so an 8×10 is meant to stand on a table-top or shelf rather than hang on a wall. If you are gifting, two different photos in matching frames make a thoughtful set for a couple or for siblings living in different cities.
How a phone photo crops to 8×10, and what to do about it
A standard phone photo has a 4:3 ratio, while 8×10 is 4:5. The frame is taller and narrower, so the print loses a strip from the left and right of a landscape photo. A portrait photo loses only a little from the top and bottom. Before uploading, look at where the heads, hands and any text on clothing or signs sit, and keep them well inside the edges.
If a group shot is wide, expect the people at the edges to be trimmed. Move the crop in the preview until everyone is inside. If you cannot fit them all, try 8×12 for a wider 2:3 frame, or step up to 10×12 when you want something closer to square. Either size keeps the same acrylic gloss and finish.
Where a frame this size works best and how to light it
Allow about 10 inches of depth on the shelf or desk so the frame can lean back without toppling. Leave a little space on each side for dusting too. A glossy surface picks up window light, so turn it a few degrees away from the brightest window and the reflection fades. In a west-facing room, afternoon glare is the usual problem.
Pairs work well at this scale. Two matching 8×10 frames with a hand's width between them read as one deliberate display, while a single frame can look lost on a long sideboard. For a wall, a cluster of three to five frames is far better than one, and the 3mm acrylic keeps every piece light.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose 3mm or 5mm acrylic?
3mm is lightweight and goes up to 20×30 inches. 5mm has a thicker feel and is the choice for larger displays, up to 48×96 inches.
How long does an acrylic frame take to arrive?
Production is typically 1–3 working days after payment and file check. After dispatch, metro locations usually take 2–5 days and other locations 4–8 days.
What photo resolution do I need?
Higher resolution gives a sharper print, especially at large sizes. The upload step checks your photo and warns you if it is too small for the size you picked.
Does the frame come ready to hang?
Stainless-steel studs are included on eligible sizes from 12×18 inches and above. Smaller sizes suit a shelf or table.
Is 8×10 the same as A4?
Not quite. An A4 sheet is about 8.3 × 11.7 inches, so 8×10 is a little narrower and noticeably shorter. If you want to keep an A4-shaped photo whole, 8×12 is the closer match, since it has a similar tall shape.
How many pixels does my photo need for 8×10?
As guidance, 1200 × 1500 pixels is about 150 pixels per inch and looks fine on a shelf. For a frame you will pick up and look at closely, 1600 × 2000 pixels or more is better. Most recent phones exceed this.
Will my selfie lose its edges at 8×10?
Probably a little. Phone photos are 4:3, while 8×10 is 4:5, so some of the left and right is trimmed. Keep faces inside the central area and check the 3D preview, where you can reposition the crop.
Can I hang an 8×10 on the wall?
Studs are supplied on eligible sizes from 12×18 and above, so 8×10 is made for a shelf or table. If you want a wall piece in a similar shape, 16×20 has the same 4:5 proportions and includes the fixing studs.
Is 3mm strong enough for 8×10?
Yes. At this size 3mm is rigid and stays flat, and it keeps the frame light enough to ship by courier safely. 5mm gives a slightly more solid feel but is rarely needed on a desk piece.
Will an 8×10 look too small on my desk?
On a desk used daily, it is the right scale: it fills about as much space as a notebook. On a large console or mantel, it can look small alone, so use a pair or step up to 12×18 on a stand.
