📖What is it?

DPI (dots per inch) defines how many pixels are crammed into each inch of printed output. The same 3000x2000 pixel image prints at 41.7x27.8 cm at 72 DPI (blurry) or just 25.4x16.9 cm at 300 DPI (sharp photo print).

🎯How to use

Enter your image pixel dimensions (found in Photoshop, Preview, or Windows Photos), then choose the target print resolution. 300 DPI is the standard for professional print; 72 DPI is for screen display only.

💡Example scenario

A 6000x4000 px photo (24 MP) at 300 DPI prints at 50.8x33.9 cm -- a large A3+ print with full detail. At 150 DPI, the same image covers 101.6x67.7 cm but will look visibly soft. Upscaling a 72 DPI web image to 300 DPI does not add real detail.

🏆Pro tip

Minimum pixels for common sizes at 300 DPI: 4x6 in = 1200x1800 px, A4 = 2480x3508 px, A3 = 3508x4961 px. For large-format posters viewed from distance, 150 DPI is usually sufficient. Never rely on screen preview -- always calculate from pixels.
