How it works
- Print size is the number of pixels divided by the DPI: 3000 pixels at 300 DPI prints 10 inches wide.
- For each paper size, the image’s long side is matched to the paper’s long side, and the lower of the two resolutions is shown.
- The quality rating uses common printing guidance: 300 DPI or more is photo quality.

Questions
What DPI do I need for printing?
300 DPI for photos and anything viewed up close. 200 DPI is fine for most prints. Posters viewed from a few metres away can look good at 100–150 DPI.
Does changing the DPI make a photo sharper?
No. The DPI setting only tells printers how large to print the pixels you have. More detail needs more pixels. To set the DPI stored in a file, use the Change DPI tool.
What is the difference between DPI and PPI?
Strictly, PPI is pixels per inch in an image and DPI is ink dots per inch from a printer, but the terms are used interchangeably for image resolution.
