About This Tool

The iPhone 15 Pro Max features a 48-megapixel main camera that captures images at 8064×6048 pixels in ProRAW or HEIF Max mode. This resolution allows for surprisingly large professional-quality prints — up to 27×20 inches at 300 DPI, or poster-sized 54×40 inches at 150 DPI for wall art. Many photographers underestimate what their iPhone can do. The 48MP sensor combined with Apple's computational photography produces images sharp enough for gallery prints, photo books, and professional products. This calculator shows exactly how big you can print your iPhone 15 Pro Max photos at each quality level. Note: By default, iPhone saves photos at 12MP (4032×3024) for storage efficiency. To capture full 48MP resolution, enable "ProRAW & Resolution Control" in Settings > Camera > Formats, then select "48 MP" or "HEIF Max" before shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big can I print an iPhone 15 Pro Max photo?
At full 48MP resolution (8064×6048 pixels): up to 27×20 inches at professional 300 DPI, 34×25 inches at standard 240 DPI, or 54×40 inches at 150 DPI for large wall prints. At default 12MP mode: 13×10 inches at 300 DPI, or 27×20 inches at 150 DPI.
How do I shoot 48MP on iPhone 15 Pro Max?
Go to Settings > Camera > Formats > enable 'ProRAW & Resolution Control'. Then in the Camera app, tap the resolution toggle (top right) and select '48 MP' or 'HEIF Max'. ProRAW files are larger but preserve more detail for editing. HEIF Max gives 48MP in a smaller file.
Is iPhone 15 Pro Max good enough for professional prints?
Yes. The 48MP sensor produces images sharp enough for gallery prints up to 20×24 inches at 300 DPI. Combined with ProRAW format for maximum editing flexibility, iPhone 15 Pro Max photos can match or exceed many dedicated cameras for print quality.
What's the best print size for iPhone 15 Pro Max photos?
Sweet spots are: 8×10 or 11×14 inches for tabletop prints (excellent quality), 16×20 or 20×24 inches for wall art (professional quality), and up to 24×30 inches for large displays (good quality). All at 48MP resolution.
Can I print a canvas from iPhone 15 Pro Max?
Absolutely. Canvas prints are typically viewed from 2-3 feet away, so 150-200 DPI is sufficient. At 48MP, you can print canvases up to 40×30 inches with excellent quality. Even 12MP photos work well for 20×16 inch canvases.
iPhone 15 Pro Max vs DSLR for printing — which is better?
The iPhone 15 Pro Max (48MP) matches many mid-range DSLRs like the Canon EOS R6 II (24MP) or Nikon Z6 III (24MP) in resolution. High-end cameras like Canon R5 (45MP) or Sony A7R V (61MP) still offer more detail, but iPhone is more than enough for prints up to 24×30 inches.
