DPI Converter

Upload a JPG or PNG, read its stored DPI, choose a new value, and download the updated file. Pixel dimensions and compressed image data stay unchanged.

Change print metadata, not image detail

Change print metadata, not image detail

The pixels stay exactly where they are

This converter updates the physical-resolution field stored in a JPG or PNG. It does not decode, resample, or recompress the image, so the pixel dimensions and compressed image data remain unchanged.

DPI controls calculated print size

Print and layout software can use the stored density to calculate a physical size. The same 3000×2400 image calculates to 10×8 inches at 300 DPI or 20×16 inches at 150 DPI; the underlying pixels are identical.

Use the value your workflow requires

Common presets and custom DPI

Choose 72, 96, 150, 300, or 600 DPI, or enter a whole-number value from 36 to 2400. Follow the requirement from the printer, publisher, marketplace, or application receiving the file.

Private browser processing

The file is read and updated locally in your browser. JPG and PNG files up to 25 MB are supported, and the image is not sent to an Instasize server.

How do I change the DPI of an image?

  1. 1

    Step 1: Upload a JPG or PNG

    Choose one JPG or PNG up to 25 MB. The checker reads its pixel dimensions and any stored physical-resolution metadata.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Choose the target DPI

    Select a common preset or enter the exact whole-number value required by your print or publishing workflow.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Update and download

    Change the metadata, verify the resulting DPI, and download the JPG or PNG with its original pixels preserved.

Fast and Straightforward

Resizing photos for social media should be a cinch, but most editing programs are a pain to use. Of the dozen I’ve used, Instasize is the fastest, easiest and most consistent...

No. Changing DPI metadata does not create pixels or recover detail. Print quality depends on whether the image has enough pixel dimensions for the intended physical size.
