Pick the Best Pixel Dimensions for Your Print Size

When you’re looking to print your beautiful images, one of the first questions that might pop up is, “How large can I print my file without losing quality?” Well, you’re in luck! The table below is your handy guide to understanding just that. It’s all about the magic behind pixel dimensions and how they play a crucial role in printing your pictures perfectly.

What’s DPI?

First things first, let’s talk about DPI. DPI stands for Dots Per Inch. Imagine it as the number of tiny dots of ink a printer uses to create your image. The more dots you have, the sharper and more detailed your printed image will be. So, when we talk about DPI in printing:

  • 150 DPI: Good for large prints where you’ll view the image from a distance.
  • 300 DPI: The standard for high-quality prints, offering a great balance between detail and file size.
  • 600 DPI: For when you need ultra-crisp, detailed prints, especially for close viewing.
