What DPI can I print by design at?

Maximum DPI (dots per inch) of designs

Updated over a week ago

The DPI (dots per inch) of your design depends on two things:
​

1. The pixel dimensions of your design
​2. The physical print size you want

Most high-quality prints use 300 DPI for sharp detail.


πŸ“ How to calculate your print size

Use this formula:

Print size (in inches) = Pixel dimensions Γ· DPI


πŸ–Ό Example
​

If you generate a 1024 x 1024 image and upscale it 4x to 4096 x 4096 pixels using Playground, here's the math:

4096 Γ· 300 DPI = 13.65 inches

So you can print it at 13.65" x 13.65" at 300 DPI


πŸ“ Quick reference

Image Size

Max Print Size @ 300 DPI

1024 x 1024

~3.4" x 3.4"

1536 x 1024

~5.12" x 3.4"

4096 x 4096

~13.65" x 13.65"

6144 x 4096

~20.48" x 13.65"
