Understanding PPI (Pixels Per Inch)

PPI is a measure of the resolution of an image, representing the number of pixels along one physical inch. It determines how many pixels are used to represent an inch of your image when printed.

Common PPI Values

  • 72 PPI: Standard for web images (good for screen display)
  • 150 PPI: Slightly better quality for web images
  • 300 PPI: Standard for high-quality print production
  • 600 PPI: Used for professional photography and fine art prints

Example Usage

If you have a digital photo that is 3000 pixels wide and 2400 pixels tall, and you want to print it at 300 PPI:

Print Width: 3000 pixels ÷ 300 PPI = 10 inches

Print Height: 2400 pixels ÷ 300 PPI = 8 inches

So the photo would be printed as 10 inches × 8 inches (25.4 cm × 20.3 cm).
