DPI Checker shows the DPI (dots per inch) stored in an image. It is useful when a printer or a publisher asks for a minimum print resolution.
Upload a picture and the tool reports its DPI value. The DPI number is a setting stored in the file, while the real sharpness of a print also depends on the pixel size of the picture. The upload limit is 20 MB.
How to use DPI Checker
- Click the upload field and choose your image (up to 20 MB).
- Press Generate and wait a moment.
- Read the DPI value in the report.
- Compare it with the requirement of your printer.
Tips for better results
- A higher number of pixels gives a better print. Check the dimensions too.
- Many images are saved with a default DPI value that says little about their quality.
- Use the Image Dimension Checker to see the pixel size.
