What is DPI?
DPI (Dots Per Inch) is a metadata value used almost exclusively for **printing**. It tells the printer how many pixels should be crammed into one linear inch of paper.
For high-quality printing, the standard is usually **300 DPI**. For web display, DPI is completely irrelevant—only the **Pixel Dimensions** (Width x Height) matter.
If the DPI is missing or reads '96 DPI', the image still looks fine on screen. The file's internal metadata is either set to a default value or missing altogether.
