Excellent for 300 DPI print (1.3× your target DPI available).

Photoshop rule of thumb: ≥ 300 DPI = photo quality; 150 DPI = magazine fine; 72 DPI = screen-only. Modern inkjet on photo paper is forgiving down to ~180 DPI.

About this tool

Drop in (or type) image pixel dimensions and pick a target print DPI to see the maximum printable size in inches and centimeters, plus how it looks at common sizes (4×6, 5×7, 8×10, A4, A3). Targets the r/Photography 'how big can I print this 24 MP image' question and the r/printdesign DPI confusion.
