How Big Can I Print This Image?
Enter the pixel dimensions of your image to see every common print size at once: 72, 100, 150, 200 and 300 DPI. The lower the DPI, the larger the print - and the softer it looks up close.

How to read the results
Print size = pixel size ÷ DPI. A 6000 × 4000 px image (24 megapixels) prints at 20 × 13.3 in at 300 DPI and at 60 × 40 in at 100 DPI. Choose the DPI that matches how closely people will view the print, then check that your image meets it.
Frequently asked questions
What is the largest poster size for a 24-megapixel photo?
At 150 DPI it prints at 40 × 26.7 in, which suits a poster viewed from 3-6 feet. At 300 DPI the same image prints at 20 × 13.3 in, which is the limit for close-up photo quality.
Can I print bigger than the largest size shown?
Yes, at even lower DPI, but the print will look progressively softer. Some print services accept low-DPI files for large products viewed from a distance; always check their specification.
