8x10

8x10 refers to a rectangle measured eight units by ten units, most commonly inches. In metric contexts the same designation corresponds to 20.32 cm by 25.4 cm, with an area of about 80 square inches (≈0.052 square meters). The term is used across several domains, notably photography, printing, and framing.

In photography, 8x10 inches is a standard sheet size for large-format cameras. It is one of several common sheet sizes used with large-format film, offering high resolution and detail suitable for enlarging or archival work. The format has an aspect ratio of 4:5, which affects composition and cropping choices compared with more common 3:2 or 4:3 formats.

8x10 prints are a popular display size for portraits, landscapes, and fine art photography. The dimension lends itself to professional framing and matting, and is widely supported by standard 8x10 frames and custom framing services. Cropping to fit an 8x10 frame can preserve essential visual elements while maintaining the intended aspect.

Outside photography, 8x10 denotes eight by ten units of measurement and appears in contexts such as layout grids, design templates, or architectural plans where exact rectangular dimensions are required. The expression is a simple descriptor of size and is understood across disciplines as a two-dimensional measurement pair.
