From pixels to paper

Physical print size = pixel dimensions ÷ DPI. At 300 DPI a 6000 px edge prints 20 inches wide.

FAQ

What DPI should I use?

300 DPI for close-view photo prints; 150–200 DPI can be fine for large wall pieces. See also the DPI calculator.

Print viewing distance

Large prints hung farther away tolerate lower PPI. A hallway piece viewed from three meters can look excellent near 150–200 PPI, while a portfolio print inspected at arm’s length benefits from ~300 PPI. Soft-proof and order small tests when color or paper surface is unfamiliar.
