- 3000×3000 pixels prints at 10×10 inches at 300 DPI — a 1:1 ratio. Here is what else that file can print at, and where it stops being sharp.
- At 300 DPI it prints 10×10 inches. At 200 DPI it would stretch to 15×15 inches, with visible softening.
- 1:1.
- Up to about 15×15 inches at 200 DPI before softness becomes obvious. Beyond that you are upscaling and buyers will see it.
3000×3000 pixels prints at 10×10 inches at 300 DPI. The arithmetic is pixels ÷ DPI: 3000 ÷ 300 = 10 and 3000 ÷ 300 = 10.
| Printed at | Physical size | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 300 DPI | 10 × 10 in | Full quality. This is the size to sell. |
| 200 DPI | 15 × 15 in | Usable, slightly soft close up. |
| 150 DPI | 20 × 20 in | Noticeably soft. Not worth selling. |
What ratio you are working with
3000×3000 is a 1:1 ratio. That determines which standard print sizes this file can fill without cropping, and it is the number worth knowing — a file's ratio travels across every size, its pixel count does not.
If you need it bigger
- Rebuild at the larger size if the artwork is vector or you still have the source.
- Upscaling adds pixels but no detail. On matte paper it is obvious.
- If the file is fixed, list the sizes it genuinely supports rather than the sizes you wish it did.
