Image Megapixel Checker calculates total megapixels (MP) by multiplying image width × height in pixels. Check megapixels for JPG, PNG, and WebP photos to determine resolution quality for printing, web display, or professional use. The megapixel calculator also shows quality ratings - indicating if your image has sufficient resolution for large prints, standard prints, or web-only use based on MP count.
Upload any photo to instantly calculate megapixels from pixel dimensions. The MP checker displays total megapixels with color-coded quality rating - 12+ MP rated excellent for large prints, 8-12 MP good for standard prints, 3-8 MP fair for small prints, below 3 MP suitable for web only. See exact dimensions, aspect ratio, and file size alongside megapixel count. Perfect for verifying smartphone camera specs or determining if photos meet requirements for print services, stock photography, or professional portfolios.
12+ Megapixels - Excellent for large prints up to 16×20 inches at 300 DPI, professional photography, gallery prints, and magazine covers. 8-12 MP - Good for standard prints 8×10 to 11×14 inches, photo books, and framed wall art. 3-8 MP - Fair for small prints 4×6 to 5×7 inches, passport photos, and wallet-sized prints. Below 3 MP - Low resolution suitable only for web display, social media, or screen viewing. Higher megapixels allow larger print sizes while maintaining sharp detail and clarity.
Check megapixels before ordering prints to ensure sufficient resolution - a 1 MP image looks blurry beyond 4×6 while 12 MP prints sharp at 16×20. Verify smartphone photos meet minimum MP requirements for professional use - modern phones capture 12-108 MP suitable for commercial work. Confirm downloaded images have enough resolution for intended use - web images often downsized to 1-2 MP unsuitable for printing. Test if cropped photos retain adequate megapixels after editing - cropping reduces resolution proportionally.
Megapixels measure total pixel count (3000×2000 = 6 MP), while file size indicates storage space in MB - high MP doesn't always mean large files due to compression. Resolution combines megapixels with physical dimensions - 6 MP prints at 10×6.67 inches at 300 DPI or 20×13.3 inches at 150 DPI. More megapixels enable larger prints and more cropping flexibility but increase file size and processing demands. The checker processes images client-side providing instant MP calculation without uploads.
