Question 1

What is DPI vs PPI?

Accepted Answer

DPI (Dots Per Inch) refers to printer resolution, while PPI (Pixels Per Inch) refers to screen resolution. Both affect how images appear in print vs digital.

Question 2

What DPI should I use for printing?

Accepted Answer

300 DPI is standard for high-quality printing. 150 DPI for draft prints. Lower DPI results in pixelated images when printed.

Question 3

How do I calculate print size from pixels?

Accepted Answer

Divide pixel dimensions by DPI. For example: 2400px ÷ 300 DPI = 8 inches. Use our converter for instant calculations.

Question 4

What about screen displays?

Accepted Answer

Screens typically use 72-96 PPI. Modern retina displays use higher PPI (150-300), but CSS pixels remain consistent for web design.
