Frequently Asked Questions

What DPI should my images be for printing?

For professional printing, images should be 300 DPI. This is the industry standard for photos, brochures, and most printed materials. Never go below 150 DPI for print.

Why does my image show 72 DPI?

Most images from the web and digital cameras default to 72 DPI. This is just metadata - a 72 DPI image with enough pixels can still print well if converted to 300 DPI. What matters most is the total pixel count.
