Supports JPG, PNG, TIFF
DPI (dots per inch) or PPI (pixels per inch) describes how much detail an image has relative to its physical print size - important for knowing whether an image will look sharp or blurry/pixelated when printed. This tool reads an image's embedded resolution info so you can check if it's suitable for printing at a given size.
Frequently asked questions
300 DPI is the standard target for sharp, professional print quality. Lower values like 150 DPI can still look acceptable for larger prints viewed from a distance, but text and fine detail will look softer.
Use the Image DPI Converter tool to change the DPI metadata, though keep in mind that changing DPI alone doesn't add real detail - for genuinely higher resolution, you'd need the Image Upscaler or a higher-resolution source photo.
Not really - screens display based on pixel dimensions, not DPI. DPI mainly matters when an image will be printed at a specific physical size.
