Another measure of image quality is DPI or Dots Per Inch.

In reality, this doesnt have much of an actual measure of image quality on a computer.

Its really designed to describe the intended quality for printing.

Note: A higher resolution isnt always better.

If you take a low-resolution image and expand it to a higher resolution it doesnt the quality.

Tip: Typically, in printing a DPI of 300 is seen as high quality.

On PC some images have the DPI saved in the image metadata.

The DPI generally isnt useful directly to PCs as the image resolution is all thats needed.

To do so, you’re gonna wanna have the image downloaded to your hard drive.

Once youve downloaded the image, right-select it in File Explorer, then click Properties.

Right-press an image in File Explorer, then click Properties.

In the image properties window, switch to the Details tab.

Just be aware, not all images will have this metadata included.

Tip: In some cases, images can be printed with different horizontal and vertical DPIs.

Typically, the values are the same, but this isnt always the case.

Look for the Horizontal resolution and Vertical resolution stats in the Image sub-section of the Details tab.
