DPI, PPI & Image Resolution Tools

Analyze image resolution, inspect embedded DPI metadata, change files to 300 DPI for printing, and calculate pixel-to-print dimensions with zero quality loss.

Drop Photos to Inspect DPI & Resolution

Detects embedded EXIF, JFIF, and PNG pHYs metadata. Set to 300 DPI without quality loss. (Up to 10 photos)

Frequently Asked Questions

DPI stands for Dots Per Inch. In print production, it dictates how tightly dots of pigment or ink are spaced across one physical linear inch of paper. The higher the DPI, the sharper and smoother the image will appear when viewed up close.
No! Changing only the DPI metadata (without resampling the pixel dimensions) modifies only a few bytes in the header (JFIF or EXIF markers). The actual pixel data and image file size remain essentially identical.
300 DPI is the empirical threshold where the human eye with standard 20/20 visual acuity cannot perceive individual pixel dots at normal handheld viewing distances (10 to 14 inches), producing magazine-quality prints.
Yes, you can drop up to 10 photos simultaneously into the inspector, review their embedded DPI, apply a uniform target DPI (e.g. 300 DPI), and download all updated files in a single ZIP archive.
