Inspect DPI metadata in seconds so you can confirm print readiness, spot incorrect values, and keep production files accurate.
Drag & drop or click to select your image (Max 20MB)
Audit image DPI before print handoff with clear, fast, and private checks that run in the browser.
Read DPI from EXIF, JFIF, and PNG pHYs tags so you see the exact value stored in the file, not a guess based on pixel dimensions or print settings.
Large, high-contrast numbers show detected DPI immediately, making it easy to compare multiple images and spot mismatches before production.
Drop several files at once and the checker lists each result in a clean queue, so you can audit a full batch without reloading.
The scan runs entirely in your browser, keeping client artwork and sensitive assets on your device while still delivering fast results.
Optimized for JPG and PNG, the tool interprets standard header blocks and warns you when DPI data is missing or unreliable.
Verify 300 DPI deliverables or flag low-density files early to avoid costly reprints, delays, and approval churn.
Upload a file, review the DPI result, and decide whether it needs conversion.
Drag a JPG or PNG into the uploader. The tool reads header metadata only, so the file stays on your device and loads quickly.
See the detected DPI value alongside the filename. Use the result list to confirm whether each asset matches your print target.
If the DPI is incorrect, open the converter to update metadata. If it looks right, you can move on with confidence.
Run a quick DPI check before sending files to a printer, marketplace, or client. One scan confirms the metadata and helps you avoid rework and delays.
Check DPI NowHelpful answers about DPI metadata, accuracy, and print workflows.
DPI is a metadata value that tells printers how many dots per inch to use. It does not change pixels, but it changes the physical print size. For example, 3000x2000 pixels at 300 DPI prints about 10x6.7 inches.
72 DPI is a common default written by cameras and editors for screen use. It does not mean the image is low quality; it only sets a large print size for the same pixels. If you are printing, update the DPI to match your target.
No. The checker only reads header metadata and never writes changes. Your original file stays untouched on your device, so you can review multiple assets safely and keep the source exactly as it was.
The checker supports JPG and PNG files because those formats store DPI in EXIF, JFIF, or PNG pHYs blocks. Other formats may not include standard DPI tags, so results can be missing or unreliable.
If no DPI tag is present, the tool reports an estimated value based on common defaults and the file header. That estimate is only a hint. For accurate print specs, use the converter to write a specific DPI.
Yes. Drop a batch of files and the results list every filename with its detected DPI. This makes it simple to audit a full job before sending assets to clients, print shops, or marketplaces.
Not exactly. Resolution is the pixel width and height of the file. DPI is a label that maps those pixels to a physical size for printing. A high DPI with low pixel counts still prints small and can look soft.
Some files store separate X and Y density values. When they do not match, many tools use the lower value to avoid stretching. If you need consistent output, reset the DPI to a single value in the converter.
Yes. You can resize and download images for free, with no signup required. Processing happens locally in your browser, so there are no usage caps or hidden fees.
No. All resizing and compression run in your browser. Files never leave your device and are not stored on our servers, keeping your images private.
