Print Size & DPI Calculator
Convert pixels to print dimensions—or calculate the pixels needed for your desired print size.
Your result
Tip: 300 DPI is recommended for sharp, high-quality printing. Always check your print provider’s template for bleed requirements.
How to Use the Print Size & DPI Calculator
Choose “Pixels → Print size” when you already know your image’s pixel dimensions and want to see how large it can print. Choose “Print size → Pixels” when you know the finished size you need and want to calculate the required pixel dimensions. Enter the width, height, and DPI, then select Calculate. For most print-on-demand products, 300 DPI is recommended for clear, sharp printing. Always compare your result with your print provider’s template because bleed and safe-area requirements can vary.
What is DPI?
DPI means “dots per inch” and describes how much image detail is placed into each printed inch. A higher DPI creates a sharper, more detailed print, while a lower DPI allows an image to print larger but may make it look soft or pixelated. Most print-on-demand products look best when artwork is prepared at 300 DPI, although some large-format items can still print well at a lower resolution when viewed from farther away.

Use the same unit for both original dimensions. Aspect ratios work with pixels, inches, centimeters, or any other matching unit.
How to use Aspect Ratio Calculator
Enter your artwork’s original width and height using the same unit for both measurements, then click Calculate Ratio. The calculator will display the simplified ratio, decimal ratio, orientation, and closest common ratio. To resize your artwork without stretching it, enter either a new width or a new height in the proportional resize section. The calculator will automatically determine the matching measurement needed to preserve the original aspect ratio.
What is An Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio describes the proportional relationship between an image’s width and height. It determines the image’s shape, not its actual size. For example, 1:1 is square, 4:5 is vertical, and 16:9 is wide. Maintaining the same aspect ratio while resizing prevents artwork from stretching or becoming distorted. For print-on-demand products, compare your artwork’s ratio with the printer’s template to reduce unwanted cropping.

Important: Always use the measurements supplied by your print provider. Some templates already include bleed, so confirm their instructions before adding extra space.
How to Use Bleed Safe Calculator
Enter your artwork’s original width and height using the same unit of measurement. The calculator will simplify the dimensions into an exact aspect ratio, identify the orientation, and show the closest common ratio. To resize the artwork without stretching it, enter either a new width or a new height in the proportional resizing area. The other dimension updates automatically. Use the calculated dimensions when creating or resizing canvases in Canva, Midjourney, or your preferred design program. If the target product uses a different ratio, some cropping or added background space may be required.
What Are Bleed Safe Areas
Bleed is the extra artwork that extends beyond the finished trim edge. It helps prevent unwanted white borders when a printed product is cut or wrapped. The safe area is the space inside the trim line where important text, logos, faces, and other design elements should remain so they aren’t cut off. Bleed and safe-area requirements vary by product and printer, so always check your printer’s official template.
