Metadata Checks Without Guesswork
Audit DPI values quickly and keep workflows moving without uploads.
Header-level inspection
Reads EXIF, JFIF, and PNG pHYs metadata to surface stored DPI values even when the file uses different measurement units, so mixed sources are easy to compare.
Instant DPI spotlight
Results highlight detected DPI in large type so production teams can approve or flag assets at a glance, even across large batches without opening each file.
Multi-file scan list
Drop multiple images and scroll through a consolidated results list without refreshing the page or reopening files during reviews for stakeholders or clients.
No-upload audits
The checker runs entirely on-device, keeping pre-release artwork private while you verify technical specs and meet NDA workflows and approvals on tight timelines.
Format-aware fallback
If metadata is missing, the tool estimates DPI from pixel density to help you decide whether the file needs correction before print or listing deadlines.
Direct handoff to conversion
When a value looks wrong, jump straight to the converter so you can fix the DPI without starting over or re-uploading assets and keep momentum for the team.
Check DPI in Three Steps
Upload, inspect, and decide whether the file needs correction.
Upload a file or batch
Select JPG or PNG images and the checker reads metadata immediately, with no sign-in, no uploads, and results in seconds.
Review the detected DPI
See the stored DPI value and scan the list to spot assets that fall below your print or listing requirements before export.
Decide next steps
Keep compliant files as-is, or jump to the converter to replace the DPI metadata in seconds to keep files consistent quickly.
Audit DPI Before It Becomes a Problem
Check image DPI in seconds so you catch mis-tagged files before print or listing deadlines. Fast, private, and entirely browser-based.
DPI Checker FAQ
Common questions about reading DPI metadata and interpreting results.
It scans the file headers for EXIF, JFIF, or PNG pHYs tags and converts units when needed. If those tags are missing, it provides a reasonable estimate based on pixel density to guide your decision. This keeps results reliable.
72 DPI is a common default from cameras and design apps and does not automatically mean low quality. It simply affects print size. If the physical size is wrong for your project, use the converter to update the metadata.
No. The checker is read-only. It inspects metadata in your browser and displays the result without modifying pixels, compression, or filenames. You can safely close the page and your files stay unchanged after review.
Yes. Add a batch of JPG or PNG files and the results list will show each detected DPI. This helps you audit a folder quickly without opening files one by one, and filenames stay visible for tracing. Great for preflight checks.
Not exactly. Resolution refers to pixel dimensions, while DPI is a metadata value that tells printers how large those pixels should be. Two images with the same pixels can appear at different physical sizes depending on DPI.
Some exports strip metadata to reduce size, and some formats omit the tags altogether. When that happens, the checker estimates a likely value so you can decide whether to add a proper DPI tag before print and avoid surprises.
Not at the moment. The checker focuses on JPG and PNG because they are the most common for web and print delivery. Export your RAW or TIFF to JPG or PNG and then run the scan for faster, reliable reads. It keeps metadata consistent.
Open the converter, choose your target DPI, and run the batch. It will update the metadata without changing the pixels, so you can deliver files that match printer or marketplace requirements quickly and at scale without delays.
Yes. The tool is free to use for resizing and compressing images, and you can export without creating an account.
Processing happens locally in your browser, so files are not uploaded to a server. Your images stay private on your device.
