How do I choose the right DPI for printing?

Choosing the right DPI (dots per inch) depends on the type of print and the desired quality. Generally, 300 DPI is ideal for high-quality prints.

What DPI should I use for photos?

For photos, 300 DPI is recommended for high-quality prints, while 150 DPI can be sufficient for larger prints viewed from a distance.

Is there a difference in DPI for digital vs. print?

Yes, digital images are often measured in PPI (pixels per inch), while print quality is measured in DPI. Higher DPI means better print quality.

What happens if I use a lower DPI?

Using a lower DPI can result in pixelation and a loss of detail in the printed image, making it look blurry or unclear.

Can I change the DPI of an image after it's created?

Yes, you can change the DPI in image editing software, but increasing it won't add detail; it may just stretch the existing pixels.
