Photo print size and PPI checker
Check whether JPG, PNG or still WebP photos have enough pixels for a chosen print size and target PPI, including fit and crop-to-fill layouts.

Photo print size and PPI checker
Will this photo print at 6 × 4 inches or at another size? Upload JPG, PNG or still WebP images and enter the physical print dimensions. The checker reads each image's pixel width and height, then calculates the effective pixels per inch for a fit-inside layout or a crop-to-fill layout. A crop-to-fill check reports the approximate percentage of image area outside the print; it does not edit the photo. Compare effective PPI with your own target, such as 300 PPI for a close-viewed print. The downloaded CSV also shows the largest uncropped size at that target. A density number stored in JPEG or PNG metadata is reported separately because changing that tag cannot add pixels. Print sharpness also depends on the subject, focus, printer, paper and viewing distance.
How to use this tool
- Upload or drag in JPG, PNG or still WebP photos, or import a direct public image URL. Try the sample photo to see a report immediately.
- Enter the print width and height in inches or centimetres. Choose Fit inside for the whole image or Crop to fill to estimate how much image area would be cut off, then set your target PPI.
- Run the check, review each image's effective PPI and target result, and download the CSV. The original image files stay unchanged.

Output and limitations
Check whether JPG, PNG or still WebP photos have enough pixels for a chosen print size and target PPI, including fit and crop-to-fill layouts.
Upload or drag in up to 50 images, or import a direct public image URL. Enter the intended print width and height in inches or centimetres, choose Fit inside or Crop to fill, and set a target PPI. The report shows effective PPI, whether the target is met, maximum print size at that PPI and the estimated crop area. Embedded JPEG JFIF or PNG pHYs density is shown separately when present; it does not determine image detail. WebP and EXIF-only density are not read. Fit inside may leave margins; Crop to fill estimates lost area but does not crop. This tool reads headers without resizing or changing your original images. Limits: 50 files, 20 MB each, 50 MB total and 200 megapixels per image. It does not predict printer, paper or viewing-distance quality.
What do Fit inside and Crop to fill mean for a differently shaped photo?
Fit inside shows every pixel and may leave blank margins on the chosen paper shape. Crop to fill covers that shape and estimates the image area outside it. Neither setting changes the uploaded photo; the report only helps you choose a layout and print size.
Is the embedded DPI or PPI tag the same as print sharpness?
No. Effective PPI comes from the photo's pixel dimensions divided by its physical print dimensions. A density tag may suggest a default size in an editor, but rewriting that tag does not create more pixels. This report keeps the two measurements separate.
What if processing fails?
Check the supported formats and file limits, then try a smaller file. Keep an original copy. A clear error message will explain an unsupported input or an unavailable processing service.
