Screen PPI Calculator

Pixels Per Inch (PPI) refers to the number of pixels per inch. Therefore, a higher PPI value indicates that the display can render images at a higher density. Naturally, the higher the display density, the greater the realism.

Pixels Per Inch is a unit of image resolution. The higher the image PPI value, the richer the image details will be, as there are more pixels per unit area. Images captured by digital cameras may vary depending on the brand or production date; common values include 72 PPI, 180 PPI, and 300 PPI, with these being the default settings (the A710 captures images at 180 PPI). DPI (Dots Per Inch) refers to output resolution, which pertains to output devices. Generally, laser printers have an output resolution of 300 DPI to 600 DPI, while printing phototypesetters reach 1200 DPI to 2400 DPI. Common photo printing typically ranges from 150 DPI to 300 DPI.
