Check your artwork before you print: DPI checker & size guide
Find out in seconds whether a photo or logo will print sharply, turn pixels into millimetres at any resolution, and get the exact artwork size, with bleed, for cards, flyers, posters and banners. No account needed
Image print-size checker (DPI checker)
Drop in a JPG, PNG, WEBP or GIF and we will show you its resolution and how it will look at each of our print sizes, from a business card up to a pull-up banner.
- Image size
- Largest sharp print (300 DPI)
- Largest poster/banner print (150 DPI)
| Print size | Your DPI | Result |
|---|
Your DPI assumes the image fills the print size (rotated if that fits better), cropping any extra. Sharp = at or above the recommended DPI for that size. OK = fine from a normal viewing distance but may look soft up close.
Pixels to mm, cm and inches calculator
Enter a width and height in mm, cm, inches or pixels and pick a DPI. Tick bleed to get the artwork size with 3mm added on every side.
Pixels = inches × DPI, and 1 inch = 25.4mm. Use 300 DPI for print you hold in your hand and 100–150 DPI for large banners.

Pixels needed include the bleed. Banners use a lower DPI because they are seen from further away.

Three steps to a print-ready file
1. Check the resolution
Run each photo and logo through the checker. You want 300 DPI for small print and 100–150 DPI for banners – pictures saved from social media are usually too small.
2. Set the right size and bleed
Set your page to the finished size with 3mm bleed all round, and keep words at least 3–5mm away from the trim line. Our PDF templates show you where everything goes.
3. Save as a PDF and order
Save a high-quality PDF with the fonts embedded and attach it to your order. A person checks every file, and many products can be printed the same day in Manchester.

Ask on WhatsAppHow many DPI does an image need to print well?
It depends how close people will be. Aim for 300 DPI on anything held in the hand, like business cards, flyers and stickers. Posters look good from 150–200 DPI, and banners seen from a few metres away are fine at 100–150 DPI.
How is DPI calculated?
Take the width of the image in pixels and divide it by the printed width in inches (25.4mm to the inch). An image 1800 pixels wide printed at 6 inches (152mm) works out at 300 DPI. The checker on this page does the sum for every size at once.
What is A5 in pixels at 300 DPI?
A5 (148 x 210mm) is 1748 x 2480 pixels at 300 DPI. Add 3mm bleed all round (154 x 216mm) and you need 1819 x 2551 pixels.
Why do printers ask for bleed?
Cutting is never perfect to the last fraction of a millimetre. Extending your background 3mm beyond the finished edge means the blade trims through colour, not a white line. Banners and stickers use different amounts – each product page tells you how much.
Which roller banner size is most popular?
800 x 2000mm is the size most people choose. We also print 1000, 1200 and 1500mm wide versions, all 2000mm tall.
Does the checker upload my photo?
No. The image is measured inside your own browser and never leaves your device.
