The white frame is part of the photograph, but it is not the same size as the image inside it. Knowing both measurements helps with albums, scanning and design.
In one sentence: SX-70, 600 and i-Type share the classic dimensions; Polaroid Go is a separate, much smaller format.
Classic Polaroid dimensions
SX-70, 600 and i-Type film measure approximately 107.52 × 88.47 mm overall. The image area is approximately 78.94 × 76.80 mm. Round-frame editions use the same outer dimensions with a circular image area.
Polaroid Go dimensions
Go film measures approximately 66.6 × 53.9 mm overall, with an image area around 47 × 46 mm. It needs Go-specific sleeves, albums and mounts.
Why dimensions matter
- Choose the correct archival sleeve.
- Set scanner cropping consistently.
- Design zines without cutting important borders.
- Buy frames and mounts with enough tolerance.
- Estimate final print enlargement from a scan.
Keep the border or crop it?
For archival scans, preserve the entire object. Make a second cropped version only when the composition needs it. The frame colour, marks and handwriting often carry useful context.
