DPI vs PPI — what actually matters?

DPI measures printer dots. PPI measures image pixels per printed inch. For checking your image, effective PPI is what matters.

Effective PPI = pixels ÷ print inches

Common Print Sizes

Choose a preset to update your print check and required pixels.

Resolution is a guide, not a guarantee of sharpness. Blur, compression, artwork quality, and printer specifications also affect your final print.
