Turn pixels into print size at any DPI, find the pixels a print needs, or work out an image's DPI — with a chart of common photo and paper sizes.

300 for photo prints and books, 150 for posters seen from a distance, 72–96 for screens.
DPI and PPI are used interchangeably here: pixels per inch of the printed image. Changing the DPI in a file's metadata doesn't add detail — only more pixels do.

Effective DPI assumes the image is rotated to match the print and cropped to fit its shape.
Print size from pixels, the pixels a print needs, or the DPI of an image at a size.
Pixel dimensions, print dimensions (in, cm or mm) and DPI.
The chart shows the pixels needed for common photo and paper sizes, or the DPI your image would print at.
300 DPI is the usual target for photos and anything viewed up close. Posters seen from a distance look fine at 150 DPI or less.
2,400 × 3,000 pixels (8 × 300 by 10 × 300).
Strictly, PPI is pixels per inch of the image and DPI is printer ink dots per inch, but most software uses DPI for both. Here it means pixels per inch.
No. It only changes the default print size. Only more pixels add detail.
