Use this free tool to change the DPI of your image instantly
- Choose a new DPI value (by clicking on the number bar e.g. 200 or 300)
- Select your image file (press the 'choose image' button)
- Your new image (with your chosen DPI) will instantly download to your device
The DPI (dots per inch) of an image is simply metadata embedded inside the image (header). The actual quality (resolution) of the image (within the file itself) is not affected when its DPI value is adjusted.
The DPI value is read by some devices (such as printers) to determine how your image should be presented on a medium (such as paper). For example, a printing shop may request that a photo is submitted with 300 DPI rather than 72 DPI. The printer would then output a larger number of dots for every inch, resulting in a sharper image.
Free Way To Edit Photos
An image DPI value may be changed by opening the file inside MS (Microsoft) Paint, Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. However, it is much simpler to change the DPI of an image using the tool provided above.

Program To Modify Pictures
This tool supports JPG, PNG, TIF, BMP and ICO. You may change your DPI to any value you like.
One other thing to note is that the DPI value of a digital image is sometimes also referred to as PPI (or Pixels Per Inch). A printer produces dots and a monitor produces pixels, so this name attempts to provide context when an image is digital. However, this just serves to confuse things further as the DPI (or PPI) value is only relevant (in practice) outside of the digital world.
