Change Image DPI Online: 72, 150, 300 DPI for Print

Change the DPI metadata of any image to 72, 150, 300, or 600 for print, government forms, and design apps. Free and instant.

DPI is a metadata tag that tells print software how large one pixel should render on paper. Screens ignore it — but print shops, government forms, and design applications often require a specific value, most commonly 300 DPI.

Which DPI should I use?

  • 72 DPI — web and screen only, the historical default.
  • 150 DPI — office prints, drafts, and newspaper.
  • 300 DPI — magazines, books, and most professional print.
  • 600 DPI — fine art, small text, and premium print.

Note: changing DPI does not add pixels. If you need a physically larger print, upscale first with the AI Image Upscaler, then set DPI.
