Result and working notes

Use 100% print scaling for this record. The sketch is not life-size and must not be used as a cutting pattern. Check measurements against the real materials.

Horizontal pixel density: 203.2 ppi

PPI describes available pixels, not guaranteed quality. Upscaled pixels and compression can make a file look worse.

Work out your display

  1. Measure the board, paper or existing item. Choose a single unit that matches the fields.
  2. Set image width (pixels), image height (pixels), width (cm), height (cm), your target resolution (ppi).
  3. Compare the live totals with the stated assumptions. Use a free account to download or print the measurement sheet.

How the estimate is calculated

Convert centimetres to inches and divide each pixel dimension by its corresponding physical dimension. PPI describes available pixels, not guaranteed quality. Upscaled pixels and compression can make a file look worse. This utility supports the measuring and preparation work around a display.

It provides plain quantities and dimension notes; custom lettering, bunting artwork, decorations and finished themed packs belong in the display maker. Every result comes from the values you enter, with no model request or invented price.

Practical questions

How does picture print resolution checker work?

Convert centimetres to inches and divide each pixel dimension by its corresponding physical dimension.

What should I check before using the result?

PPI describes available pixels, not guaranteed quality. Upscaled pixels and compression can make a file look worse. Start with measured values for image width (pixels), image height (pixels), width (cm), height (cm), your target resolution (ppi).

Is this display preparation tool free?

Yes. You can calculate and preview without signing in. Saving, downloading and printing need a free account, with no card.

Will this produce a finished display pack?

No. It prints calculation notes for picture print resolution checker, rather than a design template or decorative artwork. When you want a finished board, lettering, bunting or decorations, the WallKiwi display maker designs them for you.
