About Resize to cm or mm

Print shops and forms ask for sizes like 3.5 by 4.5 cm at 300 DPI, which is confusing to translate into pixels. Enter the physical size and DPI and the tool resizes the image and writes the DPI into the file so it prints at the right size.

  • 300 DPI is standard for prints; 150 DPI is fine for large posters viewed from a distance.
  • If the ratio differs from the original, choose crop or add borders.
  • Passport photo maker already knows the sizes for most countries.

How to use it

  2. 2Enter the width and height in cm, mm or inches, and the DPI.
  3. 3Download the print-ready image.

Questions

What does DPI mean?
Dots per inch: how many pixels are printed in each inch. More DPI means sharper prints and more pixels needed.
Will it enlarge small photos?
It can, but enlarging beyond about 150% looks soft. Start from the largest original you have.
Is the photo uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so your photos never leave your device.
