How It Works

Three Ways to Calculate

From Dimensions to File Size Enter your image dimensions (width × height), select units (pixels, inches, cm, mm), and get the estimated file size for both JPG and PNG formats at various quality levels instantly.
From File Size to Dimensions Enter a target file size (e.g., "2 MB"), choose your desired DPI (72 for screens, 150 for draft prints, 300 for quality), and we'll calculate the maximum recommended dimensions for both screen and print use.
For Print Requirements Enter your required print size (e.g., "8×10 inches") and target DPI (300 for quality prints). We'll calculate the exact pixel dimensions you need for perfect output.

FAQ

Common Questions

What DPI should I use for my website?

For web images, 72 PPI is standard for regular displays, while 144 PPI (2x) is recommended for Retina/HiDPI screens. Most modern devices handle both automatically.

What resolution do I need for an 8×10 inch print?

For quality printing at 300 DPI: 2400 × 3000 pixels
For 150 DPI (draft): 1200 × 1500 pixels
For 600 DPI (museum quality): 4800 × 6000 pixels

How big is too big for email attachments?

Most email providers limit attachments to 20-25 MB. A 4000×3000 pixel JPG at quality 90% is approximately 2-3 MB, which is safe for email.

Does higher DPI always mean better?

Not necessarily. Beyond 300 DPI, the improvement is barely noticeable to the naked eye. 300 DPI is considered "photo quality" by professional printers. Save 600 DPI for very large prints viewed up close.

Why are my printed images blurry?

Usually because the image resolution is too low for the print size. An 1800×1200 image looks great on screen but becomes blurry when printed larger than 6×4 inches. Use our calculator to find the right resolution!
