About Print Resolution
DPI (Dots Per Inch) determines the quality and size of printed images. Higher DPI values result in smaller print sizes but better quality. This calculator helps you understand how your digital images will translate to physical prints at different resolution settings.
Print Resolution Tips
- 72 DPI: Suitable for web display and screen viewing only
- 150 DPI: Acceptable for draft prints and large format displays
- 300 DPI: Standard for high-quality photo prints and publications
- 600 DPI: Excellent for detailed prints and professional work
- 1200+ DPI: Ultra-high quality for fine art and specialized printing
- Viewing Distance: Higher DPI is less critical for large prints viewed from afar
