DPI FAQs

If you have queries about DPI of PDF files, you're in the right place.

Is there any other way to check the DPI of my PDF?

Yes, aside from using our DPI Analyzer tool, you can also check the DPI manually through various methods.
Software like Adobe Acrobat or image editing programs can help you determine the DPI of individual images in your PDF.
For detailed steps on all methods, check out our blog post on How to Find the DPI of a PDF.

What should the ideal DPI be for high-quality printing?

For most professional print jobs, 300 DPI is considered the standard. This resolution ensures that both images and text are crisp and clear when printed. If your PDF is below this DPI, the print quality may suffer.

Can I increase the DPI of my PDF?

While you can't truly increase the DPI of an existing PDF without losing quality, you can resample the images to a higher DPI. However, this doesn't add detail to the image. For best results, always start with high-resolution source files when creating your PDF.

How does DPI affect file size?

Higher DPI generally means larger file sizes. A 300 DPI image will be significantly larger than the same image at 72 DPI. This is important to consider when balancing print quality with file size, especially for digital distribution or web use.

What's the difference between DPI and PPI?

DPI (Dots Per Inch) refers to the number of ink dots placed on a sheet of paper by a printer, while PPI (Pixels Per Inch) refers to the pixel density of a digital image. In practice, these terms are often used interchangeably when discussing digital file resolution, though they have distinct meanings in professional printing contexts.
