How it works
Three clear steps
- 01
Choose an image.
- 02
Enter the width, height, unit, and PPI required for printing.
- 03
Process and verify the calculated output pixels before downloading.
What this tool does
Keep physical size, pixels, PPI, and file size clearly separated.
How this result is produced
Physical measurements are converted to pixels using the selected PPI: pixels equal the requested inches multiplied by PPI. The image is then resampled to those calculated dimensions.
Practical example
For 35 × 45 mm at 300 PPI, calculate width as 35 ÷ 25.4 × 300 ≈ 413.386 pixels and height as 45 ÷ 25.4 × 300 ≈ 531.496 pixels. The tool rounds to 413 × 531 pixels using its rounding rule. This changes the pixel grid; a PPI metadata change alone would not. Check the final bytes separately.
Limits and troubleshooting
- PPI describes pixel density for physical output; it does not guarantee printer behavior.
- Upscaling does not add real photographic detail.
Check the selected unit before processing: 35 inches is very different from 35 millimetres. If the calculated pixel dimensions are unusually large, lower the physical size or PPI to a value the intended print workflow actually requires.
Questions people ask
Is DPI the same as pixels?
No. Pixels are the image dimensions. PPI/DPI relates those pixels to a physical print size. File size in KB is a separate property.
