dumb photo printing question...

How can I tell what size a photo will print well at? I have a few photos I found online that I'd like to print out and hang in our bathroom.

The sizes are 240x400, 340x447, 375,507, 400x553 So how can I know what size I should print them?

Like the 340x447- should that be a 4x6? etc. Obviously I'd prefer that they were all the same size, would 5x7 be too much for these sizes? I know these are dumb questions but I don't know anything about this! TIA!

It's not a dumb question!

two things: most of the time, wherever you print them at (walmart, mpix, etc.) will tell you the max print size. That's the size they don't recommend going above or you'll get grainy pictures. 

Or, you can google "megapixel print size" and it will give you links to guidelines on how big you can print with your sizes. HTH!

so as I waited for responses, I went ahead and uploaded them to the walgreens site, and it doesn't recommend printing them in any size! poo. I really loove these too... maybe I'll print them anyway and see how they turn out.
