Keep 300 DPI when converting TIFF to JPG

Print-friendly exports with pixel control

DPI relates pixel dimensions to physical print size. This converter controls pixels but does not retain source DPI tags. Export enough pixels, then set 300 DPI in your image editor or layout app.

How to keep 300 DPI

  1. Drop your TIFF and check its pixel dimensions in the preview.
  2. Keep original size or set a target long edge (e.g., 3600 px for 12" at 300 DPI).
  3. Export JPGs, then set the desired 300 DPI metadata in your image editor or layout app.

Changing a DPI tag does not add image detail. Preserve enough pixels and confirm physical print size in your layout app.

Why keep 300 DPI

  • Set 300 DPI in publishing tools after export
  • Resize by pixels to control actual sharpness
  • Batch many pages and files consistently

Ideal for catalogs, packaging proofs, and any workflow where dimensions and DPI must align with print specs.

Print setup checklist

Double-check pixel dimensions against your layout grid, and keep a note of the desired DPI in your job ticket. Apply it in your publishing app after importing the JPG.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between DPI and pixels?

Pixels define detail; DPI tells printers how large to place those pixels.

Do JPEGs really store DPI?

JPEG can store density metadata, but this converter does not retain the source tag. Set 300 DPI in your image editor or layout app after export.

Will 16-bit or CMYK stay the same?

Output is sRGB 8-bit JPG for compatibility; expect small color shifts from CMYK.

Best settings for print?

Keep long edge large enough for your print size—multiply inches by 300 for high-quality output.

Why does the on-screen preview look small?

Screens ignore print DPI and display by pixels, so small previews are normal.
