# Image DPI Checker

Canonical: https://image.recordly.cc/image-dpi-checker
Tool LLM file: https://image.recordly.cc/image-dpi-checker/llms.txt
Product: Recordly Image
Engine: inspect

## Summary

Check image DPI or PPI-style resolution metadata online together with pixel dimensions and file details using browser-first inspection.

## User Intent

Use this page when you need to compare stored DPI or PPI-style resolution metadata with the image’s actual pixel dimensions.

## Supported Inputs

- Formats: image/jpeg, image/png, image/webp, image/avif
- Upload label: Choose images to check DPI
- Defaults: {"inspector":"dpi"}

## Workflow

1. Upload an image: Drop a supported file into the browser inspector or choose it from your device.
2. Review the findings: Check the file details, decode status and metadata signals reported for this route.
3. Choose the next action: Use related tools to remove metadata, convert the image or resize the file when needed.

## Best For

- Checking print-oriented files before placing them in documents.
- Explaining why stored print-resolution metadata and actual pixel dimensions are different.
- Reviewing image exports before resizing or conversion.

## Limits

- Changing DPI or PPI-style metadata alone does not add image detail; the actual digital detail comes from pixel dimensions.
- Some web images do not store DPI metadata at all.

## Visible FAQ

- Does a higher DPI value create more image detail? No. The real digital detail comes from pixel dimensions. DPI or PPI-style metadata describes resolution context and does not add pixels by itself.
