Frequently Asked Questions

What is 72 DPI used for?
72 DPI is the traditional standard for screen display. It's used for web images, social media, email attachments, and any digital content viewed on screens rather than printed.
Is 72 DPI enough for web images?
Yes, screen displays render images based on pixel count, not DPI. A 1920x1080 image looks the same on screen whether it's set to 72 DPI or 300 DPI. DPI only matters for printing.
Should I convert images to 72 DPI for my website?
DPI itself doesn't affect web display — pixel dimensions and file size do. However, converting a 300 DPI print file to 72 DPI can reduce the file size, which helps web page load times.
What's the difference between 72 DPI and 300 DPI?
72 DPI is for screens, 300 DPI is for printing. A 72 DPI image has fewer dots per inch when printed, resulting in lower quality. On screen, both look identical at the same pixel dimensions.
