Image Resolution Resizer

Resolution counts the pixels describing the picture, and on screen the printed DPI figure changes nothing by itself — the pixel count does. This page lets you set the pixel dimensions directly, so a file that has to reach a print size at 300 DPI can be measured against what it actually contains.

Frequently Asked Questions About Image Resolution Resizer

Does changing DPI improve quality?

No. Writing a different DPI tag changes the intended print size, not the detail; only more real pixels improve quality.

What pixel size do I need for a print?

Multiply the print dimensions by the target density: 4 × 6 inches at 300 DPI is 1200 × 1800 pixels.

Will my original file be changed?

The result is downloaded as a separate file. Keep your original until you have checked the Higher-resolution output.

What should I check before using the result?

Open the Higher-resolution output in the application that consumes it and spot-check the parts that matter to you; the original file stays untouched if you need to re-run with different options.

About this workflow

Print size is pixels divided by density

A 3000 × 2400 image is 10 × 8 inches at 300 DPI and 20 × 16 inches at 150. Work out the pixels the print needs, then resize to that number.

Before downloading the result

Open the Higher-resolution output next to the original at full size and check text edges, faces, and flat backgrounds; re-encoding softens detail long before it looks wrong in a thumbnail.
