Good to know

  • Pixels = size in inches × DPI, and one inch is 25.4 mm. That is all the calculator does.
  • Printers and photo shops print at 300 DPI as standard. Screens ignore DPI and show pixels.
  • An image with fewer pixels than this prints soft at this size. Changing the DPI number alone doesn't add detail.
