How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the Print Width and Print Height in inches for the final output size.
  2. Enter the Viewing Distance in feet — larger prints at longer distances need fewer DPI.
  3. Review Required DPI for optimal print quality at that viewing distance.
  4. Check Total Pixel Width, Height, and Megapixels Needed to verify your source file has enough resolution.
  5. Use the DPI requirement to set up your file correctly in Photoshop, Lightroom, or print RIP software.
