Frequently asked questions
Why 300 DPI specifically?
300 DPI (dots per inch) is the industry-standard resolution for print-quality output - photos, documents and forms printed at 300 DPI look sharp to the naked eye at normal viewing distance. It's the most common requirement for passport photos, printed documents and professional photo uploads.
How do I convert inches to pixels at 300 DPI?
Multiply the inch value by 300. For example, a 2x2 inch photo at 300 DPI is 600x600 pixels. This tool does the math for you, in either inches or centimeters, so you don't have to remember the formula or unit conversion.
Is 300 DPI the same as 300 PPI?
For digital images, yes - DPI (dots per inch, a print term) and PPI (pixels per inch, a screen/digital term) are used interchangeably in most upload requirements, even though they technically describe different things (ink dots vs. pixels).
