This article will shed some light on the terms used to describe image and file quality throughout our Help Center.
Understanding Image Attributes
Let's break down the key terms that define image quality:
Resolution: This refers to the number of pixels within a given area on your screen, typically measured in width by height (e.g., 1920 x 1080 pixels). A higher pixel count translates to a sharper, more detailed image.
DPI (Dots Per Inch): DPI indicates the number of printed dots contained within one inch of space. A higher DPI results in a higher-quality print with enhanced sharpness and detail.
Actual Size: This term speaks for itself - it's the real-world size of your image. For instance, a 5”x5” design at 100 dpi, when scaled up to 10”x10”, would result in a 50 dpi image. Enlarging the design without increasing the pixel count decreases the resolution.
