Question 1

Does changing DPI increase image quality?

Accepted Answer

No. Changing metadata alone does not add pixels or recover detail.

Question 2

What DPI should I use for printing?

Accepted Answer

Many print workflows request 300 DPI, but the correct value depends on the printer, viewing distance, material, and specification.

Question 3

What is the difference between DPI and pixel dimensions?

Accepted Answer

Pixel dimensions describe the digital width and height. DPI helps map those pixels to a physical print size.

Question 4

Why does my website ignore the DPI value?

Accepted Answer

Most websites display images according to pixel dimensions and responsive layout, not print-resolution metadata.

Question 5

Can changing DPI alter the physical print size?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When pixel dimensions remain the same, a higher DPI generally produces a smaller default print size and a lower DPI a larger one.
