4x6

Photo print size

A common dimension for photographs and index cards, measured in inches.

A 4x6 photo is the standard size for printed snapshots: I ordered 4x6 prints of the vacation photos.

The format also describes envelopes, postcards, and recipe cards.

In other contexts, 4x6 may specify lumber, storage containers, or area rugs.
