Why photos get cropped at the lab

A 4×6 print has a 2:3 aspect ratio. Many smartphone photos are taken at 4:3. Filling the paper then removes part of the image edges unless you crop yourself or choose white borders.

Before ordering

Check the exact print area and whether the lab applies borderless trimming. Avoid placing important subjects near the outer edges. For general prints, use the photo resolution checker to estimate available detail.
