THE GUIDE

About increase dpi of image

DPI metadata describes how many image pixels are assigned per printed inch; changing it alone does not add image detail.

When is this useful?

This tool writes print-resolution metadata to supported PNG and JPEG outputs, and can resize the pixel image separately if requested.

How to use increase dpi of image

  1. Select JPG or PNG images
  2. Set target DPI and optional print inches
  3. Export files with updated resolution metadata
COMMON QUESTIONS

Increase DPI of Image FAQs

Does increasing DPI make my photo sharper?

No. Updating DPI metadata does not create missing visual detail. Resampling changes pixel dimensions but cannot recover original detail.

Does the exported file store real DPI?

Yes, PNG physical-pixel metadata and JPEG JFIF density are written to the exported file.

What should I use for printing?

Many print workflows use 300 DPI, but requirements depend on your printer and intended print dimensions.
