Choose the correct mode
Metadata only preserves pixels. Physical-size mode recalculates pixels for the requested print dimensions.
DPI and print size
Change image DPI
Choose metadata-only mode to keep every pixel, or physical-size mode to create the pixel dimensions required at the selected DPI.
Metadata only
Pixel dimensions stay unchanged. Only the print-density information is rewritten.
EXIF data is not copied
How it works
Enter DPI
Select a common value or use the exact density stated by the destination portal.
Check pixel output

Common questions
Does changing DPI always improve quality?
No. Metadata alone adds no detail. Physical-size mode may resample pixels, but it cannot create genuine missing detail.
