DPI (dots per inch) is metadata stored in some image files that specifies the intended printing resolution or output size. When opened on supporting devices like printers or software applications, the DPI value instructs the device on how to render the best representation of the image.
Use our free image DPI converter tool to update the DPI metadata of your image files for optimal print resolution. Consider some of the common DPI levels below to choose the proper DPI level for your use-case:
72 DPI Used primarily for images displayed on screens and monitors. Screens have 72-100 DPI, so this allows the image to be viewed at approximately full size.
150 DPI Common default resolution for printing photos. Provides enough detail for good quality 4x6 or 5x7 photo prints.
300 DPI Recommended resolution for high quality print materials, especially those viewed up close, like brochures, magazines, product packaging. Preserves fine detail in the image when printed.
600 DPI and above Used when maximum print clarity is vital, such as artwork reproductions, medical and scientific imaging, or printing fine text. Extremely high resolution preserves the most detail from the image file when printing.
