What is Image DPI Checker and Converter?

Image DPI Checker and Converter reveals the DPI (dots per inch) stored in image metadata and allows you to change it for JPG, PNG, and WebP files. Check current DPI to find resolution settings, then convert to any DPI value from 50 to 600 for perfect print output. The tool calculates print sizes at different DPI values - showing a 3000×2000 pixel image at 300 DPI prints 10×6.67 inches, while the same image at 150 DPI prints 20×13.3 inches. Download images with new DPI metadata for print shops, publishers, or specific resolution requirements.

How to Check and Convert Image DPI

Upload any photo to instantly read stored DPI metadata from the image file. The DPI checker displays the current resolution (typically 72, 96, 150, 240, or 300 DPI) and shows pixel dimensions and megapixels. Use the DPI converter slider to select your target DPI from 50 to 600, preview the resulting print size, then download the image with new DPI metadata embedded. Perfect for preparing images for professional printing, converting web images to print resolution, or meeting specific DPI requirements for publications, magazines, brochures, or photo labs.

DPI Converter for Print Requirements

Convert image DPI to match specific printer or publication requirements. Change DPI from web standard 72 to print standard 300, or any custom value. Higher DPI produces smaller calculated prints with sharper detail potential, lower DPI creates larger calculated prints. A 4000×3000 pixel image converts from 72 DPI (55.5×41.6 inches) to 300 DPI (13.3×10 inches) - the pixel count stays the same, only the metadata and recommended print size changes. Download with new DPI for print shops, stock photo requirements, or archival purposes.

When to Convert Image DPI

Convert DPI before sending photos to print services with specific resolution requirements - professional labs typically require 300 DPI metadata for photo prints, newspapers need 200 DPI, posters work at 150 DPI. Change DPI for scanned documents needing archival standards - 300 DPI minimum for text documents, 600 DPI for detailed line art. Convert stock photos to meet licensing requirements which often specify minimum DPI metadata. Fix smartphone photos that default to 72 DPI despite having adequate megapixels for print - convert to 300 DPI for professional use.

Standard DPI Values for Different Uses

300 DPI - Professional photo printing, magazine covers, brochures, high-quality marketing materials. Convert images to 300 DPI for print shops and publishers. 150-200 DPI - Posters, banners, large format prints viewed from distance. Change to 150 DPI for poster printing. 72-96 DPI - Web images, social media, screen display, digital presentations. The DPI converter shows real-time print size calculations and downloads images with new metadata. Processing happens client-side with instant results and no server uploads.
