DPI Calculator Online
Calculate image DPI from pixel dimensions and intended print size.
Calculate horizontal and vertical DPI using image pixels and physical print dimensions. Keep the source until you've opened and checked the downloaded result.
Use the same unit for print width and height.

The useful scope of DPI Calculator
Calculate horizontal and vertical DPI using image pixels and physical print dimensions.
DPI metadata doesn’t create new pixel detail
Changing a DPI value can affect print-size interpretation, but it doesn’t magically add photographic detail to an image with too few pixels. Pixel dimensions still set the real resolution ceiling.
DPI is a print-density calculation. It doesn't improve a low-resolution image by itself.
Where DPI Calculator fits cleanly
One straightforward use is to check whether an image is suitable for a target print size. Another is to compare 300 DPI and 150 DPI output requirements. The common thread is that the input already contains the information the tool needs.
When DPI Calculator isn’t the right endpoint
Use Resize Images only if you intentionally need different pixel dimensions; don’t confuse resampling with changing print-density metadata.
