Of course, 72 is enough. Just like any other value, even 1. If it&#8217;s 10,000, it won&#8217;t change anything \u2013 the photo will be identical.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is not secret knowledge, and I know that most people probably know what DPI is. Unfortunately, sometimes someone comes up with their own theory and would bet their hand on it.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Impact on Internet Photos<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In reality, we often talk about DPI (dots per inch) when we actually mean PPI (pixels per inch). However, the PPI of photo chosen in, for example, Photoshop corresponds to the later DPI when printing (of course, if it is not changed along the way). And all the advice regarding &#8220;internet DPI&#8221; refers to PPI and what is set as &#8220;resolution&#8221; in the resize window (not to be confused with dimensions), which is why I use these terms interchangeably here. PPI can be changed at any time, both from 300 to 20 and to 2000. It has no effect on the digital file because it is just information for the printer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of course, displays have their own PPI, which determines how many pixels per inch and depends on how sharp the photos and everything else will be. However, the display&#8217;s PPI has nothing to do with what is set in the image file. Only the dimensions given in pixels (height and width) matter for its quality.<\/p>\n<h2>Examples<\/h2>\n<p>Below, I am placing the same photo with DPI 1 (one) and 25000 (twenty-five thousand):<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi-1f.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-15705\" src=\"https:\/\/thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi-1f-870x1249.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"870\" height=\"1249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi-1f.jpg 870w, https:\/\/en.thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi-1f-768x1103.jpg 768w, https:\/\/en.thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi-1f-348x500.jpg 348w, https:\/\/en.thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi-1f-697x1000.jpg 697w, https:\/\/en.thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi-1f-736x1057.jpg 736w, https:\/\/en.thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi-1f-680x976.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/a>1<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi25000f.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-15706\" src=\"https:\/\/thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi25000f-870x1249.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"870\" height=\"1249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi25000f.jpg 870w, https:\/\/en.thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi25000f-768x1103.jpg 768w, https:\/\/en.thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi25000f-348x500.jpg 348w, https:\/\/en.thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi25000f-697x1000.jpg 697w, https:\/\/en.thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi25000f-736x1057.jpg 736w, https:\/\/en.thomasvoland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dpi25000f-680x976.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">25000<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Below is an additional example.
