Check the embedded print resolution in your file with our Image DPI Checker before sending artwork to a printer or preparing a physical design.
DPI and pixels answer different questions
Pixel dimensions describe how much image information a file contains. DPI describes the intended density when that information is placed on paper. A 3000-pixel-wide image can print at different physical widths depending on the DPI value selected for the output.
What printers commonly request
Many print workflows use 300 DPI as a target for close-viewed photographs and documents, though the right requirement depends on the printer, material, viewing distance, and job type. Always follow the specifications supplied by the print provider rather than changing values blindly.
When no DPI is shown
Some web images do not carry resolution metadata at all. That does not make them unusable, but it means the file alone does not declare an intended print density. Use the pixel dimensions together with the planned physical size, then set or export the resolution in a design application if the printer requests it.
