- Keep pixel dimensions visible.
- Compare three practical PPI levels.
Practical examples and limitations
When to use this tool
Use the stored density field to understand a file’s default physical-size hint. PPI refers to image pixels per inch; printer DPI refers to device dots per inch. The terms are often mixed, but a printer’s advertised DPI is not the same quantity as the photo’s pixel density.
Worked example
A 3000 pixel-wide file at 300 PPI is 10 inches wide. At 150 PPI the same pixels cover 20 inches. Changing only the density tag changes that size hint, not the amount of captured detail. The print planner calculates the effective density at a size you choose even when the file has no density tag.
What to check before using the result
Some files have no readable density field, and a browser can still display them normally. Metadata values may disagree across EXIF and format-specific fields. Do not label a missing tag as low quality; look at actual pixel dimensions, cropping and intended output size.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can changing DPI add image detail?+
Changing only the density label does not create pixels or detail. It changes the default physical size some software uses for printing.
