FAQ

What DPI do I actually need?
300 DPI is the standard for sharp results at normal viewing distance (photos, flyers, business cards). 150 DPI is usually fine for something viewed from further away, like a poster. Below 150, most people can see the softness or pixelation.
Why doesn't this tool produce a download?
There's nothing to convert — this only checks whether your existing image has enough resolution for the print size you have in mind. If it doesn't, the fix is a higher-resolution source image, not something this tool can create for you.
