Frequently Asked Questions
What DPI should I use for printing?
300 DPI is standard for photo prints. 150 DPI for large-format prints viewed from a distance. 72 or 96 DPI for screen/web only.
Does changing DPI change image quality?
No. DPI is just metadata — it tells printers how many dots per inch to use, but the pixel data is unchanged.
What's the difference between DPI and PPI?
DPI (dots per inch) refers to print resolution. PPI (pixels per inch) refers to screen resolution. They're used interchangeably in consumer tools.
My print looks blurry even at 300 DPI — why?
If your image is low-resolution (few megapixels), 300 DPI at print size will still look blurry. You need more pixels for large prints.
What DPI is standard for web images?
72 DPI is the traditional web standard, though modern retina displays use 2× pixels. Web browsers ignore DPI metadata.
