Image Resolution & Print Size
Check PPI, pixels, megapixels, aspect ratio and whether artwork has enough resolution for its intended print size.
Choose the outcome you need
Begin with one of the strongest workflows. The complete specialist library is still available when you need it.
Inspect an image locally and compare its pixel dimensions with a target print size.

Start with the question you actually need to answer
Use the file dimensions and intended physical size to see the effective PPI before printing.
Choose print PPI for raster artwork, or Web/CSS mode when the conversion is for layout rather than print.
Reduce the ratio and calculate proportional dimensions before resizing or cropping.
Compare crop loss and effective PPI for standard photo sizes using your own image locally in the browser.
PPI, pixels and physical print size are different things
Pixel dimensions describe the raster file. PPI describes how densely those pixels are placed at a chosen physical size. Changing only the PPI metadata does not create new source detail; the important relationship is pixels divided by final inches.
