Change Image DPI (300 DPI for Print)

Set the DPI of JPG and PNG images to 300, 72 or any value — without changing the pixels — for print shops, publishers and application forms.

How to use

  1. 1Add JPG or PNG images and enter the DPI (e.g. 300).
  2. 2Press Set DPI and download — the pixels stay exactly the same.

How it's calculated

DPI is stored as a tag (JFIF density in JPEG, pHYs in PNG). Print size = pixels ÷ DPI.

Frequently asked questions

Does changing DPI improve quality?

No — DPI only tells printers how big to print. Quality depends on the pixel count; a small image at 300 DPI just prints small.

Why do forms ask for 300 DPI?

Printers need about 300 pixels per inch for sharp output. Check the print size shown for each file.

Can I increase the pixels?

Use the resize tool for that — but enlarging can't add real detail.
