8" x 8"

With equal dimensions of 8 inches by 8 inches, the 8" x 8" print format creates a substantial square size with 64 square inches of surface area. In the metric system, it equates to 203mm x 203mm. Compared to other sizes, 8" x 8" is considerably larger than 5" x 5" but smaller than 8" x 10" rectangular prints. The origins of the square 8" x 8" trace back to medium format film cameras using the 6x6cm size, which translates closely to 8" x 8". Today, this size endures as a creative way to print photos with a 1:1 aspect ratio without cropping or wasted image area. The generous size rivals smaller rectangular prints for impact. Photographers often use 8" x 8" to showcase strong square composition photos or abstract imagery that benefits from the balanced format. It also conveniently displays multiple square cropped photos in a collage format. As a medium-large square size, 8" x 8" allows excellent print quality with a unique square layout perfect for artistic photography needs.
