Frequently Asked Questions

What is DPI and why does it matter?

DPI (Dots Per Inch) is the resolution of a printed image. Higher DPI means more detail and sharper prints. 300 DPI is standard for professional printing, 150 DPI is good for most home printing, 96 DPI is typical for screens, and 72 DPI is the web standard.

How do I calculate print size from pixels?

Divide the pixel dimensions by the DPI. For example, a 3000×2000 pixel image at 300 DPI will print at 10×6.67 inches. Use our calculator to instantly get results in inches, cm, and mm.

What resolution do I need for a 4×6 inch photo print?

For a sharp 4×6 inch print at 300 DPI, you need at least 1200×1800 pixels. At 150 DPI, 600×900 pixels is acceptable for casual viewing. Use our reverse calculator to find the exact pixel dimensions for any print size.

What is the best DPI for professional printing?

300 DPI is the industry standard for professional photo prints, brochures, and magazines. For large format prints (posters, banners) that will be viewed from a distance, 150 DPI is often sufficient.
