Frequently Asked Questions

3 questions answered

What is 800×600 used for?

800×600 is the classic 4:3 web standard used for blog images, email newsletter photos, CMS uploads, forum images, legacy web templates, and presentation slides designed for older projectors.

Is 800×600 still relevant today?

For modern displays and responsive websites, larger images like 1200×900 or 1920×1080 look better. However, 800×600 remains common for email attachments (where file size matters), CMS platforms with older size restrictions, and educational content platforms.

What if my photo is portrait orientation?

Portrait photos have more height than width. Resizing directly to 800×600 will squeeze the photo horizontally. Crop to 4:3 first (e.g. crop a 3000×4000 portrait to 3000×2250) before resizing to 800×600.
