What dimension is for business card format?

By ProfitSee - 10-28-2012, 07:18 AM - Boxden > BX Paintworks

In the near future I'll be purchasing a photo for a business card. Which of these is the best size for the card:

A)600x360(px)
B)1600x960(px)
C)3200x1920(px)

I'm[..]uming C is too large and that A maybe the perfect size.

Depends what the photo is for and how you plan on using it. A is probably too small -- B should cover you, but if there isn't a big difference in price between B and C, then go with C to make sure you're good.

FYI: A business card is regularly 1088x638 pixels @ 300DPI (or 3.6x2.1 inches)

To be on the safe side, I'll probably get 1600x960(px) or better yet ask the designer if he can get it to an actual business card size.

Thanks for the help!
